    I bought Rammus a while ago and during meh first fight, the items I get during the battle were

    Doran's Shield, Ninja Tabi, Thornmail, Aegis of the Legion, Randuin's Omen, Warmog's Armor, and a Spirit Visage (replacing Doran's Shield during late game).

    Masteries were more on Defense... I am still not level 30 though.

    I won for the first time using him... 10/14/24

    I maxed out Powerball first, next is Defensive Ball Curve, and Puncturing Taunt last. Tremors are raised as usual in levels 6, 11, and 16.


    If there are changes u could suggest, please tell me. Thanks :)

      Rammus is best in the jungle due to his ganking ability and his subpar laning phase, so his jungle is normally maxing DBC, Taunt, and Powerball last, but taking 1 point in Powerball at level 2. However, if you are laning, you should max Taunt second no matter what, and Powerball first for damage, or DBC first for defense. Also, I strongly suggest getting a Warmog's armor much earlier as it does not gain it's full potential HP until you get some minion kills and champion kills/assists.

      I like everything on your build except Spirit Visage and Ninja Tabi. Spirit Visage is for those champions who naturally generate a lot of health from either spell vamp, lifesteal, or some other regeneration effect, which Rammus does not have. However, Force of Nature is a great alternative, which gives lots of Magic Resistance, movespeed, and HP5 based off of max HP. 

      Also, because Rammus is a tank, he is much more helped by Mercury Treads over Ninja Tabi because that CC reduction will allow you to use your skills/attacks more often, and not be so disabled by CC.  Mercury Treads will give you a bit more Magic Resistance, and you will not miss the 25 armor from Ninja Tabi, you already have insane amounts of armor from Thornmail, Aegis, and Randuin's Omen, and DBC.

      Lastly, Rammus has a bit of a mana problem, somewhat high costs, somewhat low mana pool. This is why a Frozen Heart is a fantastic item for him, huge mana, plenty of Armor (so it can replace Thornmail or Randuin's), Cooldown Reduction for more abilities, and even an aura that reduces the attackspeed of nearby enemies

      Should replace Spirit Visage with GA, and Tabi with Mercs or FoN. You build only works against heavy AD team ( Yes I know Spirit Visage has MR. 30 Mr. Yeah).

  • Doc Tam

    Poor Rammus. His early game is just so poor, yet Riot sees this as fine since everyone fears his ganks. I think Amumu is a stronger jungler at this point.

    by Doc Tam
    • Riotsz

      yep now he is so poor, riot nerf him every patch and now he cannot tankky enough defensive ball curl so week, jsut play yee and u will get 300 MR and AM.

  • 64.66.70.66

    OK

  • Riotsz

    Rammus now need more rune and mastery to get utility and become good tanker.

    by Riotsz
  • 180.194.250.222

    When it comes to tankiness and overall offensive and supportive capabilities, who do u think would win? Shen, Nunu, or Rammus? I do plan to get Rammus soon, though.

    by A Wikia contributor
    • 74.179.207.66

      Malphite.

      by A Wikia contributor
    • 114.108.192.19

      Wtf is a Nunu doing there? O.o

      by A Wikia contributor
    • Doc Tam

      Nunu has huge base stats. The answer is Alistar, but of those listed, Shen.

      by Doc Tam
    • 87.172.193.196

      If it's really with everything count in i'd say Taric and Gailo are a good choice, since Gailo has a good offensive due to innate, supports with movespeed buff+shield and his ult really turns teamfights. Taric however makes a great aura-tank plus he really helps in laning phase because you can harass and just heal the taken dmg away, not to forget he can also buff the whole teams AD and AP with his ult. But to be honest, both of them are rarely used, because they're underrated. Rammus was once OP, now he's (imo) nerved to much.

      by A Wikia contributor
  • 109.131.90.104

    While Renekton and Garen are building tank items because they have to if they don't want to explode in teamfights and because of that, deal very little damage. Rammus, Singed and maybe Galio are pure tanks while still dealing shitloads of damage and having superb CC. It isn't fair...

    by A Wikia contributor
    • 88.102.160.74

      Just look at that rammus ult, 1600 damage in large aoe radius with laughable cooldown. Without any offensive items at all.

      by A Wikia contributor
    • 75.109.85.19

      It may be due to the fact that rammus singed and galio are tanks and have high base damage because they build nothing but tank items and have to do some damage to make sure they are seen as a threat. The others are offtanks or tanky dps 1 maybe two tank items And tons of damage items is how they were meant to be built just people try to build them as full tanks instead and then do no damage because they have no damage items.

    his ultimate deals dmg against structures!? O_o

    Why not MR per level for this guy????

    by A Wikia contributor
  • 76.117.132.54

    FoN on Rammus for MR?

    Tell me what you think

    by A Wikia contributor
    • Qan2211

      Yes if you really need some MR against heavy AP team. A very good item.

      by Qan2211
    • 93.48.137.127

      Obvioulsy, if you go only health+armor you will melt at the first wild mage encountered.

      by A Wikia contributor
    • OwenNewo

      FoN is more effective with health as it's key component is health regen based on max health. Banshee's gives Health, Mana, MR and a free Spell Shield. It's almost always a better option since it goes through Catalyst.

      by OwenNewo
    • 66.214.173.9

      Why would you get banshees on a tank? The shield is going to get poked down anyway.

      by A Wikia contributor
    • Qan2211

      Banshee's bad, at least for Rammus. If you need mana, get Frozen Heart. Need Health? Warmogs. Spell Shield? He's a tank, why would he care?

      by Qan2211
  • 120.144.73.147

    Omfg riot you are really bad. This champ needs to be so hard nerfed cuz he is completely OP, a full tank that does op damage and you can't even attack hiM back or you kill your self. Not to mention that op taunt. Meanwhile Evelyn not buffed in over a year, fuck off riot.

    by A Wikia contributor
    • Qan2211

      Got roflstomp by a Rammus? Wow, you're bad.

      by Qan2211
    • 81.242.204.76

      Well, when I look at his kit and ratios, for a tank he IS way to strong imo

      by A Wikia contributor
    • Qan2211

      Geez, if you have trouble with his taunt, consider getting cleanse, or better yet, BV or Qss then. Rammus isn't that shiny as he used to be, and ArmPen counter him alot now.

      by Qan2211

      Nuke him dead with AP, job done.

    • Lsamsung

      i think some kids got mad at me yesterday. i was playing rammus and used his taunt like i use skarner's ulti, taunt him then walk back to somewhere. and i was basing and just taunted them up into my turret and saved the base and won. i think they got mad. nexus turret ftw :D

      by Lsamsung
    • 112.204.70.137

      Already been nerfed SO HARD. his W almost got 50% lower. :(

      by A Wikia contributor
    • OwenNewo

      Max W armor/mr went from 150 -> 120 and you say that's "almost 50% lower"? Wow, you sir are a genius...

      OP: If you're playing AD carry then you job is simple - don't get taunted. Evelynn hasn't been buffed because she is a balanced character. While the nerf to her stun hit her hard it was necessary. Also, Rammus HAS been nerfed; his W has had it's armor/mr and return damage values decreased, Q has had it's max duration reduced and his base armor and attack damage values have also been reduced.

      Rammus has 2 abilities that scale with AP and one of them is a utility skill. Not exactly predisposed...

      by OwenNewo
    • 67.183.232.146

      Eve is nowhere near balanced. She's like a worse twitch, you either carry your game or become completely useless, not to mention the fact that unless you're roaming with a bot that can reliably 2v1 bot, she has no place in the game, except Dominion, which isn't saying much since it's less played than 5v5s. The reason she hasn't been buffed is because they want to get stealth reworked before she or twitch does, and this has been stated by riot themself.

    Could someone tell me how to build rammus plz

    by A Wikia contributor
  • Riotsz

    Need some buff back TT

    by Riotsz
    • 80.15.143.26

      don't think he needs a buff he's plenty strong already

      i tried him out since he's free and i ended up with 8/6/25 his q+e is certain death while ganking, i mean 3 seconds taunt!


      get pushed under tower? flash +E run under tower + q to bump= free kill.

      and in team fight the team focuses AD carry while you taunt their AP and Z+ R to DPS

      he's really good imo

      by A Wikia contributor
  • 161.53.42.198

    His popularity dropped so much after recent nerfs,only 0.4 of lol population plays him watching lol statistic,i dont see him in normals like before.

    by A Wikia contributor
    • 88.102.160.74

      thats because people play only OP champions, no one likes overnerfed crap

      by A Wikia contributor
    • Zilla4444

      not sooo overnerfed as others, but sad that they only play freewin champs (is it still fun after 20 games?)

      by Zilla4444
    • 88.207.114.102

      Yeah,everyone plays ww now,i guess its fun to have infinite sustain solotop,even irelia is not so popular anymore......

      by A Wikia contributor
    • Leyrann

      ^ There are no freewin champs, if there are multiple. Because what happens if blue has freewin champion A and purple freewin champion B? Then one of them doesn't win.

    • 87.172.195.87

      dafuq am i reading?

      Counter him with killing his Teammates and leave him for a AP champ. Even if vayne and Kog can melt him (as kog you can melt everything, but vs rammus i'd suggest using your ultimate instead of your dps), it's not their job to take out the tank whose job it is to get their attention.
