Rammus Rework

simple rework for rammus. give his abilities more damage but make them scale less from AP.

why? because 1 shot rammus is stupid. ya u can counter him if u focus him and waste all cc on him but then he either picks up at least a kill or 2 or the adc cleans almost always.

its a simple rework that would not in any way make him less viable it would only make him to where he can be played as he was meant to and not as a 1 shot cannon ball.

10% increase on damage for his Q/only 25% scaling from AP on his Q.

his q is already very strong with 100 base damage at lvl 1, the 10% increase will give it 110 at lvl 1 and 330 maxed. that is reasonable in my honest opinion. and if someone decided to go full AP rammus it would make the damage manageable rather than being nuked every time. instead of getting double and triple kills with little to no effort. (q + e + r + zhonyas instant double kill or more)

another possibility is to make his q single target only but then that would drastically slow his jungle clear speed. if anyone disagrees keep the discussion clean and no trolling or flaming.

So your problem is AP rammus ?

I have done it for shits and giggles, but I don't really feel like AP rammus is a viable strategy in ranked games.

So he builds 100% damage... His Q is on a long cooldown and hard to hit the target of choice in a teamfight. Avoid getting taunted and you won't die so fast, but again with that build his W won't be dishing out as much damage. His AOE is big damage, but there is a lot of room to outplay. He is not tanky at all with that build, especially once his W is down.

I don't see a problem, there is a severe tradeoff in survivablity and usefulness when you build that way, and his oportunity to dish out damage dies when his 8 sec ult is on CD.

...So, you want to add a max of 30 damage to his Q in return for taking away 75% AP scaling? Let's say rammus got an abyssal (not unreasonable; all his damage except autos is magical). He loses 52.5 damage on Q in scaling. With this, just getting an abyssal provides 22.5 less damage on his Q (which already nerfs every rammus except literal full tank rammus).

wait you're upset about rammus that builds damage?

but...

the reason he is so strong in soloqueue is because he has massive crowd control and resistances against carries and he's really hard to ignore...

also he's super fast and can gank 3 lanes at the same time.

well I think that he abilities should scale with AD rather then AP because right now hes is kind of a hybrid-y dps. powerball should have a lower mana cost and the there should also be a damage penalty greather then the cd to stop him form abusing it. everything about him is cool atm. (could also use a base movement speed buff)

What, nooooooo , this is a useless rework , in LOL are so many champs who need a rework , but nooooo , we are Riot , why we should not do a rework for a normal champ . You have Yasuo , Vayne , Darius etc , but you rework Rammus ... just stupid and useless . And if you don't play a champ please don't suggest rework mechanics, because you don't understand how the champ works ... #PlsDon'tReworkRammus pls ;((( This is a nerf

Ps: Sorry for my English ...
