Tips for Playing as Varus with Rammus
Try to take advantage of Piercing Arrow's very long range to snipe at enemy champions before a fight or as they're trying to flee.
An early point in Blighted Quiver helps harass enemy champions and get killing blows on minions.
During short range fights it's sometimes best to fire Piercing Arrow quickly, rather than charging it to full power.
Advice to Understand How Rammus Will Play
Powerball can be used as an effective escape mechanism.
Tremors and Defensive Ball Curl can be used late in the game to obliterate towers. If you're bogged down in a team fight, it is often valuable to break off and attack the buildings.
Using taunt on a champion by your tower can cause the tower to attack your enemy.

Playing alongside, you should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to tank a lot of damage. Combined, these champions will be able to tank for the rest of their team.
In contrast, by grouping Varus and Rammus together, you probably will not be granting your other allies enough magical damage output. We recommend you bring other champs on your team that nullifies this hole in this pairing's capabilities.
Regardless of your Rammus ally's ability, you should focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
