rammus

Rammus got his q nerfed long time ago, they increased the cooldown on early levels q cooldown at like 20 second it use to be almost half this. I think the nerf should be reverted because the nerf was applied in the old jungle with the old spirit stone that gave a really fast clearspeed and regen for just 700 gold. The problem with cinderhulk for rammus is he would need to build bamicinder+the jungle enchantment(1700 gold) to get a decent clear which is completely different from the old jungle were you buy spirit stone for 700 gold and your clear is decent. My point is rammus's early game is horrible probably one of the worst from other junglers so why not make it a little better by reverting that early game q nerf. Season 4 he was a dominating jungler with a 51 - 54% winrate now he is at 44 - 47% winrate. I understand why they nerfed him in season 4, Spirit stone made almost every tank jungler viable in wave clear, but season 5 is different and I dont think the right path is to nerf rammus's early game. Nerf: Q - Powerball: COOLDOWN10/10/10/10/10 seconds ⇒ 16/14.5/13/11.5/10 seconds TLDR: The rammus q nerf should be reverted

item 3070 Rammus item 3070 Ok

Rammus really needs some help. He was my 3rd most played champ in ranked last season, now I don't play him at all. Unfortunately, it seems like he's forgotten about unless he's too strong.

Have you ever tried taking scuttle crab with Rammus? I can't think of a single champion that takes longer to kill it. And once their support buys item 3222 , you're pretty much useless.

Right now, if you're looking for a useful armor stacking jungler, Malphite is the way to go.

Also his playrate decreased alot after the new jungle, and the people making it remain at the 44-47% winrates are probably the few rammus mains

I can imagine that'd be true.

All of this said though, right now Rammus can actually be a reasonable top laner if you're countering Riven Fiora Tryndamere . Much like Hecarim , you can rush item 3260 and get back to lane super fast after recalling. I actually think that, if Rammus wasn't so completely dependent on summoner 4 to get his taunt off on the ADC (looking at you, Kalista ) , the summoner 11 summoner 12 top lane meta of last patch could've been pretty good to him.

Regardless, even if Riot wants him to be a top laner, I think he could use some buffs so that he can survive matchups other than the ones I mentioned above.

Well the con of being a rammus top laner you would have to rush w which lowers your kill potential and its hard to deny them

They also dropped his Taunt down to 2.25 sec, simply because Fiddle's longer-range-and-attached-to-a-teleporting-ultimate Fear of the same duration was deemed overbearing. I guess a completely avoidable melee range taunt with his only mobility being an interceptable Powerball is equally abusive. Rito >_>.

Rammus was my main jungler s3 and s4 i kept playing him through all the meta shit and always did will on him,i had 67% win ratio on him for two season sadly the last nerf hurt him badly that as a rammus main player for 2 year, i had at season 5 a 44% win ratio i stopped playing him at rank he is nothing but a meat shield now every other tank jungler do more damage and better cc jungle clear better early ganks and more saf,e they took what rammus was about when the nerfed the q cd so hard and the new junglr item gives no cdr so y are stuck with that 16 q cd most of the game cause you know the other skills are bettter to level up, they nerfed him hard and forgot him left him to the dead as they always do with less popular champ, fuuny thing in ranked i played sej with 68% win ratio i think abd got my first penta on him talk about riot balance, for me i never stooped playing him i still go for him in normal, and yah even the buff thry gave him i consider it a nerf a 1 sec delay bettween w and q i mean wtf rito , i am so sad and salty i hopr they see the post and explain why he is left like that
