The Rammus Rework

So, I used to play a lot of Rammus. He was the first champ I ever bought and I played him all throughout Seasons 3 and 4. Over time he's been replaced as my most-used champ by Darius, but he's still my little ball of murder. I'm going to try to avoid jumping the gun here. I know the rework has only been out for a day, it might take some time to get used to.

But the slow on his shield needs to go.

Or be changed, or reduced, something. As of right now, playing Rammus top lane went from an okay-at-best lane to almost impossible. It's hard to last-hit when the _minions _ outrun you. And you might as well forget about trading. To put the slow in perspective, I need to land 6 of the 8 pulses from my ultimate just to slow someone so that they're the same speed as I am. That's assuming they don't flash, dash, or in some cases, literally walk out of it before that happens.

It's a shame because I like so much of this rework. The speed on pb feels great, and gives you a reason to spec into it, the Attack Speed on his e makes his clears much faster, and his ult would be really powerful if not for the aforementioned problems. But his W went from his strongest ability to his weakest in this patch. Maybe the slow would be okay if I was tankier than before, but since it scales off of your items now, you won' hit that higher level of tank until late, when before you could hit that level at level 9.

All balance aside, it just feels awful. Even if it was powerful, moving that slowly is just a terrible experience. Maybe it's just me, but I find the new w weak, disappointing, and not fun at all to use. Hoping for some kind of change as soon as possible.
