(RANT) New rammus feels like a buff to ADC's..
I didn't used to play rammus religiously but his main issue before was that he had trouble catching up to his target mainly because Cons
- his powerball ran fast so he often stepped away from the team chasing someone mobile and had to pull out or go all in and he then became vulnerable or not useful until powerball came back up again or if he had flash for the cheese.
- he is easily cock blocked as in just any front line can walk to him and block the powerball or anyone really not to mention he's vulnerable to all CC's while rolling towards someone
pro's
- of-course his powerful taunt made up for that being that it lowered defense and mr and taunted them to attack rammus this almost certain meant the taunted target was going to die.
- Activating his W was rammus main bread and butter defense because it reflected back damage and allowed him to sometimes escape through cautious enemines
The problem with the new rammus
W does't reflect damage back anymore, instead it buffs the damage of his passive which is to auto attack for extra damage. Huge issue with this is that given that new Rammus didn't balance his cons and pro's it just made the cons worse. Before even if you didn't catch up you used to W to reflect damage to at least participate in doing something. Now you can virtually die without doing anything at all. W won't reflect damage back ADC's CAN KITE RAMMUS TO DEATH NOW AND NOT GET HURT BECAUSE HIS W SLOWS HIM AND DOESN'T EVEN REFLECT DAMAGE BACK
But he can now win an auto attack fest with a committed melee target top that's not a bruiser so that's something going for him.. right???? RIGHT???? [slayer-jinx-unamused]
What was the point in changing him? for what reason? what was this supposed to accomplish? Jungle dueling potential? like if rammus will ever catch up to lee sin and graves can kite him to death wts?
