Lore

Idolized by many, dismissed by some, mystifying to all, the curious being Rammus is an enigma. Protected by a spiked shell, he inspires increasingly disparate theories on his origin wherever he goes—from demigod, to sacred oracle, to a mere beast transformed by magic. Whatever the truth may be, Rammus keeps his own counsel and stops for no one as he roams the Shuriman desert.

Tips

Playing as

  • Powerball can be used as an effective escape mechanism.
  • Using taunt on a champion by your tower can cause the tower to attack your enemy.
  • Tremors and Defensive Ball Curl can be used late in the game to obliterate towers. If you're bogged down in a team fight, it is often valuable to break off and attack the buildings.

Playing against

  • Pay particular attention to when his Defensive Ball Curl is off. Rammus has much lower stats than a normal tank when he's out of the stance.
  • Rammus often stacks high Armor, leaving him especially vulnerable to caster damage while not in Defensive Ball Curl.
