Why rammus sucks now

I've been playing Rammus a lot. I've known his CD, his stats, and his combos. After patch 7.10 he sucks. He just really sucks. Riot can we get a ROLL back on rammus? Why does a tank need attack speed? why does a tank who was just randomly given attack speed given a 60% slow on his W the only form he'd be in when up close and personal? Everything except for his ult is now awful.

I agree that latest patch that gives Rammus slow really made him useless. Playing a champion with 60% self slow all the game time is just unplayable and nonsense. Did they even tried to play him in real match to see how bad they made him?

LOL personally I'm just having trouble with the new W. that built in slow rammus is effected by really screws with me. I'm so use to q w e now its q e w which is not as efficient but you're not going to get a gank off if you w before e in many cases.

I need to try the new rammus. Haven't had the chance yet. The old rammus had issues with the jungle changes over the years and once they changed his q to have collision when going past minions he fell off completely. A lot of the tanks feel bad right now except Galio and Sion.

I just played a game as rammus and OH. MY. GOD. was that w thing annoying. I didn't realize what had happened till I wondered "why the hell am I so slow?". What justifies a 60% slow? It doesn't even reduce when you level up, i can't walk up to people anymore at all without A being blasted or B never catching them because of how slow I am and my w is over before I can get close and on top of it I'm pretty sure it doesn't even make me immune to other slows so I can just be slower and slower with everyone else's abilities. I will never be playing rammus again until they fix him. I have no idea why you have so many down votes. People should play him before they think he's like him old self of being able to be annoying. Hes gimped and I mean that figuratively and literally.

I started main'ing Rammus back in Season 3 Week 30 I'd started the week before and loved Nasus and the next free week comes up and liking tanks I pick up Rammus and roll with him from then on. He was great, get decently ahead and you could solo an adc or a weakened ad bruiser.

Then they nerfed him and fiddle, 3 second taunt is too much, okay I suppose I can understand that.

Then they nerf him again, needs longer cool-downs on one of his abilities, Okay I guess. Can't really solo anyone anymore except a wounded adc

Then they buff the jungle, Um I need a little help here now I can barely solo my first clear now, they invade I either die or give up the buff 100% of the time.

Later they buff jungle items making it so I can breath a bit again.

Then they nerf him again, needs even more longer cool-downs on his other two abilities, Well, I mean there goes alot of my early ganking potential, I can still get people who are pushed way too far but once I cast my abilities I'm pretty much done in any early ganks.

Then... wait are they really? They're going to buff him finally?!... oh, no, now he can just switch cast q and w for a half a second whoo...

Then they nerfed him again, w's too strong less tank, whatever, at this point playing Rammus means I'm entirely relying on my team to do damage and provide their own cc to complement mine, I'll just main Vi at least she can do something.

Main Vi for awhile only play Rammus here or there.

Then I stop playing for awhile and come back Rammus's w now slows him for 60% and his e taunts for another 0.25 seconds less.

Like what the hell is his purpose anymore? He used to lock down and kill the adc or lock down and wound an apc. Now he's lucky to get auto'd twice before the taunt wears off and that's only IF it doesn't glitch out and let them run away for the first second of the taunt. He's got zero mobility in combat and feels half as tanky as before. He can't turtle up and tank a tower unless he's standing just in turret range so he doesn't suicide, can't take out the adc, can't even adequately lock down any carry cause he either get's squished going in without w or kite's himself by using w, he was never much of an objective taker to begin with and his counter objective skills are just as gone as his lock down abilities and solo fighting (stop hitting yourself) skills. Rammus is my favorite champ and it sucks to see him nerfed continuously like he was, it really feels like it's gone too far at this point though.

Riot gutted rammus, they need to revert it back. It's just total non sense.

Ah so THAT'S why I had such an easy time kiting a Rammus the other day with my Ashe.

I was wondering why he seemed so slow and clunky. Add a couple of Ashe slows and he never reached me.

You're probably maxing the wrong spell.

I am completely in agreement with this post. RIOT RUINED Rammus Rammus in 7.10! Please Revert! I used to have a 87% win rate with Rammus (I main Rammus) and now I can barely win half of my games. The 60% slow on his W is absolutely absurd! If you are going to slow him that much, therefore making his ganking much worse, you need to have waaaaay more Armor & MR. I always get shredded now. Also his E/taunt does not last long enough, so his passive/W does not have enough time to reflect any decent amount of damage. Basically, everything that made Rammus great has now been shot. Until late game he cant even function as a tank. Albeit, his E & R are better, and the slow on his R is great, HOWEVER, the slow added to his R is mitigated by the fact that his W makes him too slow to stack more than 1-2 hits on the enemy... They can easily run away.

RIOT PLEASE REVERT RAMMUSRammus !

Would you mind linking the match history?

I would like to see the runes, masteries, build order and ability order you used.
