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 Qiyana

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Check her weapon's element

    Before a trade, check her weapon's element: with Ice, Elemental Wrath (Q) roots you, and with Wild, the brush element, its trail makes her invisible.

  2. Back off when she changes element

    Back off when she casts Terrashape (W): the spell resets Elemental Wrath (Q), so she can hit you twice in a row.

  3. Stay away from walls and the river

    Don't fight right next to a wall, the river or brush: Supreme Display of Talent (R) explodes along them and stuns enemies there.
