Rammus nerfed on PBE.

Hey everyone, I'm a bronzie scrub who mains jungle. Jungle Rammus, to be specific. Rammus got nerfed on the PBE recently, which surprised me, because he's not an often played champion, nor is he usually considered OP. For those of you who don't know, the nerf reduced the duration of his taunt from 3 seconds to 2.25 seconds at max rank (Fiddlestick's fear duration was also reduced).

For Fiddlestick's fear, I feel like it was justified, because the range on it is massive, and fiddlesticks is capable of doing much more damage over time than Rammus is. I feel like with the reduction in Rammus's taunt, however, he will no longer be able to do his job of shutting down the AD carry.

He already has difficulty doing it, mainly because of the increased peeling ability that supports have received in S4, plus the addition of Thresh, PLUS the fact that he has to get into melee range to use his taunt. I feel like Rammus is going to cease to be viable if his ONLY cc effect is weakened. It would be one thing if it was reduced by a half-second or less, because that's still quite a chunk of time. But .75 seconds? Almost an entire second gone? AND no CD reduction to make up for it?

Please Riot. I really love playing this guy. He was the first champion I ever bought, and my favorite champ to this day. If the nerf goes through, I'll have to stop playing him in ranked, and I really dont want to do that. So please, pull back the nerf, and everything will be ok.

Sincerely,

One of many Rammus fans
