How to Build Rammus
So I just got Rammus and I did a few practice games with him. Here's what I usually build.
Although I'm not sure how right this build is. Could I get some tips on the best way to build him?

that looks like its vs AD.. but I dont play rammus, but should be able to be switched out with 
. :P looks alright for me.
Well it depends of enemies. If its full AD comp like Riven top, Jungle Rengar, Mid Yasuo, ADC Jinx, you should go for something like:
If enemies have alot of AP, then u cant really rely on your damage return and instead rely on MR. If you wanna try new stuff, u can go full AP Rammus, his Q has 100% AP scaling. But item build depends solely on enemy team comp.
How you are building a champion is actualy pretty situational and varries depending on the situation you are in. Since you mostly will pick Rammus vs heavy AD comps you probaly have this core most games:
After that it all depends on the situation. Again since you normaly will pick him vs heavy AD you build will probaly be based on these items:
- (a must when their are 2 or more crit based champions, build it later when their is a lategame adc with an crit build)
- (a must when their are 2 or more ranged based champions, build it later if you want the cdr)
- (it's a lot weaker and needs time to scale however it can be effective against true damage based champions)
Another direction you can go is the snowball direction:
If AP damage is a problem lategame than:
- (really usefull for the cdr)
(can help if you get stunned before you can get an engage off)
Still note that this is based on a situation against Heavy AD. If you facing a heavy AP team as Rammus it's a little bit harder to win that game honnestly. Finaly as list item their is a item that can be usefull but really situational. I don't see many people build them but they can help in a certain situation if you have a 6th item slot open. But most people will go :
That's one of my favorite bruiser builds since it mixes in a lot of health and armor, some MR, and a fair amount of mixed damage (physical from your passive and dead man's, magic from thornmail, Cinderhulk, Abyssal and your abilities)
The only thing I would say is try to stay away from mobi boots unless you intend to gank almost non-stop very early on, since they are pretty crappy the later the game goes. Merc Treads or Ninja Tabi do a much better job fulfilling his needs once you get later into the game, o if you aren't getting boots as one of your first items, Mobis aren't as worth while.
