I was perfectly fine with Rammus before the rework, and now everyone is already saying how OP he will be now. TBH Rammus W shouldn't have ever had a self slow to begin with. This is what happens when you mettle with a champ that is fine. Should have just reverted the rework Riot in my opinion, but here we are.

it's a step in the right direction, now for riot to remove the remaining 30% and all is well, and if that makes him OP as someone who loves rammus I'd rather him get a nerf to something then because it feels bad even using his W even if it is powerful because that slow is just bleh

His winrate went after the rework Even if you think he wasn't "fun", he was objectively stronger after it

And now he's going to get even stronger

Oh thank you so much RIOT!! -

Patch 7.14 due to be released on the 12th of July will buff Rammus - ( Not so much a buff but something that makes him less bad )

Defensive Ball Curl (W)
    Self slow decreased to 30% from 60%  
  • Add -15% (4.5% of 30%) self slows from swiftness mastery makes it 25.5 PLUS
  • Add -25% (7.5% of 30%) self slows from swiftness boots and you end up with only 18% self slow when using W.

Not taking into account the added 10 movement speed on swiftness boots or extra 10 to 7% increased movement speed from 1 speed item + 4.5% from runes you can pretty much reduce the Defensive Ball Curl (W) self slow effect to 0% or to feel like normal base game movement speed again. YEY

Personally I'm more then happy with 25.5% self slow by using only the swiftness mastery and would much rather have extra armor - magic resist from Ninja Tabi or Mercury's Treads along with the reduced damage - stun duration bonus's they come with
