Rammus FAQs

Q: What are the strengths and weaknesses of Rammus in League of Legends?

A: Rammus is a very mobile champion when he is in his Powerball form. When he is further augmented with a good Rammus build, he is likely the fastest and most mobile champion in the match. Additionally, Rammus has a powerful and long duration taunt. Not only can he taunt enemies, but he can also reflect damage back to his target with each hit. This reflected damage scales with armor, so add extra armor into your Rammus build to maximize the effect. Rammus' greatest weakness is that it's relatively easy to hide or dodge his Powerball. If Rammus misses, he'll need to reset, assuming he lives to do so.

Q: Why do most people think Rammus is a bad support?

A: While Rammus builds tanky items and has good CC like many other supports, he has no range and his engage can easily be blocked by minions in lane. Due to his mobility, he's much better when played as a jungle champion.

Additional Rammus Build Insights

LoL Rammus players will likely find him to be a difficult champ to build out properly. You'll notice that his build varies when he is fighting either generic or highly focused team compositions, meaning you shouldn't take the same Rammus build every game of League of Legends

The best items to include in your champion's build are: Jak'Sho, The Protean, Sunfire Aegis, and Abyssal Mask. Those who added these items in their setups had a significantly better winrate than those who went for other item builds for Rammus. Similarly, if you are playing a mixed enemy team comp, you should strongly consider getting Rammus the Resolve, and Precision runes. In recent games, he won the greatest percentage of his rounds when using these runes.

We established our Rammus build guidance by examining 36,087 recently ranked League of Legends matches with him in them. We only propose the best winrate Rammus builds that have been used by ranked players enough times for us to suggest them. With so many matches in our dataset, we are quite confident in our recommended builds.
