• Defensive Ball Curl: Rammus will change into a defensive stance, increasing his Armor and Magic Resistance and dealing bonus magic damage thanks to his Spiked Shell. Additionally, he will return damage to enemies that basic attack him, but will also slow him down.

• Frenzying Taunt: Rammus taunts an enemy monster or champion into a reckless assault at him. Additionally, he gains increased Attack Speed for a short moment that is extended if any of his other spells are active.

• NEW Ultimate - Soaring Slam: Rammus will hop into the air and slam down, dealing magic damage and creating aftershocks for four seconds. Aftershocks deal magic damage every second and slow enemies incrementally by 12%, stacking up to 60%.

Rammus is known to be a highly resilient self-harassment champion, meaning that if anyone dares to target him in a fight, his enemies could end up badly or defenceless before they know the Armordillo passed over them. All this thanks to his tremendous resistance.

• Aftershock: Immobilizing an enemy champion grants additional armour and magic resistance, as well as unleashing a barrage of magic damage to nearby enemies.
• Weakness: Increases your team's damage to opponents slowed or with crowd control effects.
• Hunter - Titan: Grants bonus health and tenacity with unique takedowns.
• Pathfinder: Grants bonus movement speed when walking through the jungle, bushes, or the river.

Being exclusively a jungle, his summoner spells options are more than obvious:

• Flash: Allows you to have more offensive options when entering combat, in addition to serving as an escape tool.
• Smite: The Jungler's default spell. You can use its blue variation to slow down enemies and ensure kills, or its red variation in the case of going against jungles with good offence.

Tips for Rammus’ playstyle

Rammus has roamed the Summoner's Rift since its launch in 2009, being one of the most loved champions by the entire community for his style and charisma, but being hated by others for his ease he can counter any enemy with his stuns, distractions, and crowd control skills.

Part of this is thanks to his great mobility, which allows him to make ambushes enemies can hardly respond, so it is advisable to always be aware of the environment to take the best opportunity to find a misplaced enemy and gank them.

When trying this, or also to eliminate jungle camps, always start your offence by going towards your objective with the speed increase of your Powerball. When you hit the enemy, activate your Frenzying Taunt and then your Defensive Ball Curl, to force them to attack you so they can take damage from your passives.

His new ultimate, Soaring Slam, will bring a very fresh twist to the Rammus matchup, as it allows him to turn into a cannonball and directly attack enemies in an area in case your allies are in a tight spot or just have the initiative to start a confrontation.

Rammus is very dependent on teamwork, so always try to keep in touch with your teammates for any ambush attempt or combat, so they will know when it is time to attack with everything and that your skills are not wasted.

Thanks to his durability and tenacity in combat, Rammus can be a very useful piece for any team, thanks to all the possibilities you can have to assist in any fight, in addition to his flexibility in his composition and his ease of use even in early levels, so if you want to enter the jungle for the first time, it is a highly recommended option for all types of players.
