Why do Rammus and Galio need self slows in their kits?

Tanks are already f*cked enough by the itemization and runes this season. Why do they need more counterplay? All of Galio's abilities can be dodged, so he has enough counterplay with that alone, and Rammus's powerball can be blocked by minions or tankier allies. My point is even without the self slows there is more than enough counterplay to these champs. They don't need these self slows.

ye sure Galio charging his taunt while running as fast as you.

Or better, give him Sivir Ult and/or some other movement speed buffs and just let him run into the enemy team charging his taunt without even needing to use flash.

And Rammus was literally just nerfed.

Apart from that, stop pretending that tanks are weak, they aren't and there is literally no reason to overbuff, or buff them in general.

Rammus would feel even more BS against AA based champions than he already does. The slow allows you to disengage and wait out his W before attacking him. Without it, he would all the time wack you with his bonus damage from the armor increase, while you can't hit back because you would hurt yourself more in the process than him. And I am saying this as a Rammus player myself.

And Galios taunt is extremely potent in teamfight situations.


I get the feeling you are underestimating the power these skills have.

^ I agree, the last thing we need is the tank meta back, that was shit for everyone, and absolutely hell for top laners
