Playing As Rammus
- -Powerball can be used as an effective escape mechanism.
- -Using taunt on a champion by your tower can cause the tower to attack your enemy.
- -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.
Playing Against Rammus

- -Rammus often stacks high Armor, leaving him especially vulnerable to caster damage while not in Defensive Ball Curl.
Lore
Idolized by many, dismissed by some, mystifying to all, the curious being Rammus is an enigma. Protected by a spiked shell, he inspires increasingly disparate theories on his origin wherever he goes—from demigod, to sacred oracle, to a mere beast transformed by magic. Whatever the truth may be, Rammus keeps his own counsel and stops for no one as he roams the Shuriman desert.
