He runs at you with like 800 movement speed and then locks you down for about 3-4 seconds.

I even bring cleanse to counter him. Not even a perfect cleanse will stop his bullshit because he has multiple long-lasting CC abilities on low cooldowns.

I am stumped. There are other champions i think are OP like zed and leona, but they have SOME forms of counterplay, (zhonyas for zed, sidestep or cleanse for leona).

You cant sidestep anything. You cant dodge anything. You can only cleanse one of his many abilities. You cant zhonyas anything because.. well.. whats the point to zhonyas when hes just going to CC chain you when its over?

Rammus only got two long lasting CC and thats E (which has 12 sec cooldown) and his ult (which got a cooldown of 100-60 sec and is really not all that great in the CC department only a 8-12% slow) , the only other CC he has is a small knock up on Q which he need to use for engaged and got a 16 sec cooldown.

and this is without even going into that he need to slow himself down 30% to do any real damage thanks to W.

His Q interrupts you for 0.75s and then immensely slows you for 1 second. His build will 99% of the time incorporate 40% CDR, so you cant say his E cooldown is 12s, its actually 7.2s for something that hard disables you for about 1/3 the cooldown.

His Q speed lasts either 6 or 8 seconds (idk which but i know its one of them) so again, you cant make a high CD argument.

And wdym his W is his only real damage? He gets a huge amount of damage from his passive and ult.

Boots of swiftness provide slow resistance, or Merc's Treads reduces the taunt duration.

You can use cleanse or quicksilver sash to break the taunt and then if you built boots of swiftness then you will still be able to move relatively well.

These are what I could think of off the top of my head. Best of luck to you against Rammus.
