Embodies the concept that the meager become the mighty through indomitable will, represented the lofty concept of ascension/evolution in LoL's history and overall I /loathe/ that his lore has become nothing but a paragraph. The Hedge Maze was good, even if they couldn't keep the League part of it in. Talk about his quest, his journey and his adventure.
"Ravaged by Rune Wars long past, the lands south of the Great Barrier are wrecked by chaotic magical storms, leaving the grasp of nature's rule tenuous at best. While abnormal flora or fauna are the norm rather than the exception in these ruined areas, perhaps none is more curious than the case of Rammus. While no one is entirely certain why an armadillo from the Shurima Desert crossed the Kumungu Jungle into the Plague Jungles, Rammus made just such a journey. There, amongst the twisted vines and festering rot, he came across an oddity - a healthy evergreen hedge maze, stretching as far as the eye could see. As he explored the maze, something compelled him towards its center - a light, a presence of some kind. As he drew closer, the light surged, blinding him and knocking him unconscious.
When he awoke, Rammus' whole world had changed. The maze had vanished and he felt truly cognizant for the first time in his otherwise unremarkable life. As his predicament dawned on him, Rammus had a moment of panic. As he trembled, the earth around him began to shake, the intensity increasing until he managed to steady himself. As the quake receded, Rammus arose and left the Plague Jungles in search of purpose and meaning behind his gift, a search for another with the same experience as he. Alas, in all his travels south of the Great Barrier, everywhere he went, he was unique. The hardships of this sojourn inspired him to craft the suit of armor that would earn him the title of Armordillo.
"I've seen a lot of things, but this... this is a first."
― Ezreal, the Prodigal Explorer, after first meeting Rammus"
There. I fixed the lore to fit in with the new state of the game. You're welcome, Riot. :P
