What the fuck are these Rammus changes though?

Packun Flower··3 votes·926 views

Why the hell would Rammus. A tank. Need to have a 40% attack speed steroid. What the hell does that actually do for him? What? That change makes no sense.

He now he slows himself when using defensive curl? Why? So i cant run away if things go bad and i cant catch anyone when tanking. Instead i have to stand there and look scary while im ignored?

This is just stupid..

The attack speed is for his new passive. Can you read?

issue is that rammus isn't supposed to deal damage

which is why his ult is nerfed and is getting an aoe slow so idk why he's getting an attack speed steroid instead of an armor shred that helps his team

I agree, the personal attack speed steroid is questionable, but I think most of the other changes are quite good. The self-slow on Defensive Ball Curl makes him surprisingly a bit more interactive than he used to be (you can run away from him now), and he can still use Q to make a run for it. I do think he still needs a full VGU eventually, but these changes will improve him a fair bit, imo.

Mab this is bs. You can now run away from him. Man that is wack. LOL supposed to be challenging not easy.

yup i agree with that of course, i however don't like the W armor/mr changes, because rammus doesn't stack mr which means hiw W will go from 120 bonus mr to 20

This is true, and I think this might be an opportunity to make his W steroid an armor version of Galio's protection, where he'd gain damage reduction that would scale with his armor. It would also allow the reflected damage to be indicated in a single effect, as on PBE it's currently triple-dipping (armor increases his passive damage, which is then increased by the armor steroid, but is also increased on top of that by the new passive amp). However, it is at least good that his armor steroid scales with the armor he built, even if he doesn't really need to suffer such a drastic loss in MR.

#Can we please fire/downgrade whomever at Riot comes up with these ridiculous champion changes?

It gives him a reason to actually basic attack while in combat.

Malphite has his empowered attacks.

Galio has his passive boosted attack.

Sejuani stacks her Frost.

Maokai activates Sap Magic.

Most tanks have a basic attack-thing. Rammus' is now this AS steroid.

Rammus never needed to attack to do damage his gimmik was having enemies attack him while having decent sticking power to them. He is a tank, not a fighter.

I didn't mention any Fighters, they're all tanks with built in basic attack synergy.

Hell, Maokai has been known to use AS quints in the past for more Sap Magic procs.

Thing is now you just flat out can't chase people with him if your W is up and he is officially the easiest champ in the game to kite. His early was also nerfed to shit as a jungler with below average clears anyway. I approve of his R changes but I'm not the first person to say its feast or famine with that ability. He either catches you out (And you flash away anyway) and chases you to oblivion or he doesn't get the slow to stack in time for one reason or another and the target is half way back to his nexus before you can say "Rito pls". He runs up to a lucian with his Q, uses E and activates W proceeded by R. The taunt duration is finished and Lucian proceeds to E out of the ult. You then have a 60% movement speed slow while trying to keep up with him and he gets away because "60% movement speed slow". Playing him feels like you are constantly under a Nasus W now.
