Playing as Rammus

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Engage with Powerball

    Engage with Powerball (Q): your speed builds while you roll, and the impact knocks back and slows enemies around your target.

  2. Defensive Ball Curl against autos

    Cast Defensive Ball Curl (W) when you're being hit by autos: you gain armor and magic resist, and each attack returns magic damage to its attacker.

  3. Taunt during Defensive Ball Curl

    Cast Frenzying Taunt (E) during Defensive Ball Curl (W): forced to attack you, your target takes damage with every auto.

  4. Soaring Slam while rolling

    Cast Soaring Slam (R) during Powerball (Q): enemies in the center of the area also take a knock-up, and your speed extends the leap's range.

Playing against Nocturne

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Break his tether

    Move away as soon as Unspeakable Horror (E) tethers you to him: if you get out of range before the tether ends, you aren't feared.

  2. Pop his barrier first

    If you have CC, cast a cheap spell first: Shroud of Darkness (W) only blocks one ability, for 1.5 seconds.

  3. Move closer to your allies

    When Paranoia (R) darkens your vision, move closer to your allies: you can't see them anymore, and he can launch himself at an isolated champion.

  4. Ward your flanks

    Ward your jungle and your flanks: Paranoia (R) lets him launch himself at you from long range, and vision helps you see him coming.
