I really REALLY dislike what happened to Rammus.

I just read Patch Notes and i already dislike Rammus.

Yes i havent played him however i think these changes are more harmful than good.

I have a fair amount of experience on Rammus, i am M5 after all. And by far the worst thing about him is his fight.

Riot said they didnt like the lack of choice in wether or not he uses his abilities. And while he did use his whole kit every fight, so do most champions with the exception of R. Its called a Combo or a Rotation. Rammus is no exception.

Rammus was really good at long fights. Once his W ran out he got squishier and did less damage yes thats true. But with the new slow on W his dualing capabilities will be limited to as long as his E lasts.

They also made more "choices" by making it more rewarding to ult towers. But i personally dont see why that would be a good choice design wise. Since now he will ONLY ult towers since its damage is lowered too. Albiet this means that he will have the ability to actually TAKE towers (which he didnt before honestly) but that isnt adding more choices.

But my biggest problem with the Rammus changes is the fact that he is now an AA CHAMPION. My biggest problem with Rammus when i played him was not the fact that he was boring because he had no decision making. My biggest problem with Rammus was the fact that you press all buttons, then just right click and wait. IT WAS INCREDIBLY UNDERWHELMING.

But they made Rammus better at that. WHY. People picked Rammus because he was the Galio of AD teamcomps (along with Malphite . Not because of the bonus AD from his armor passive. He was picked because he was unkiteable.

Old Rammus was by far one of the greatest champions for dealing with ADCs as it doesnt matter if they can outrun his autos, they are what are killing themselves.

With the removal of his built in thornmail, while you are adding counterplay for ADCs (that isnt lifesteal remind you, and since they removed GW on thornmail its a counter again) you are removing the only champion that had REAL synergy WITH thornmail. You are also making Rammus EASILY kiteable since he slows himself with his W. AND his W nows main benefit is AA damage, plus Es attack speed.

NO ONE LIKES THE FACT THAT RAMMUS' ONLY GAMEPLAY IS RIGHT CLICKING THINGS UNTIL THEY DIE. BUT YOU MADE HIM BETTER AT THAT.

Im not a Rammus main, or fanatic. But this actually upset me.

Honestly i dont need to. I understand with a lot of changes you have to play them to understand.

But i think anyone who enjoys Rammus even a little-bit. Is just killing what made Rammus Rammus.

Guess Riot had to bring more appeal to him, I feel you, but I guess it has to be this way. Besides, our boy Rammus would say "Okay"

Skorch2 votes

What appeal does this bring? I dont understand.

It appeals enemy ADCs i guess. But Rammus was the only tank i feel that was even remotely "Okay" VS them. And even then they could still fight him depending on LS.

It CERTAINLY doesnt add more appeal to people that play him. He is now a more Right-Click bot than god damn Tryndamere and god knows how fun Right-Clicking is.

I coulnt agree with you more, can anyone honestly think of a scenario in which his W is worth using after the taunt duration is down? The slow on his W is so immense that you cant stick to any target even with the slow from his ultie and you cant use it to retreat at low health as the enemy runs you down since you are so damn slow with W up.

Rammus' Built in thornmail wasn't removed. Reread his W. When activated, it deals his passive's damage to anyone who autos him.
