Playing against Rammus
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
1
Magic damage counters him: Rammus stacks armor but is vulnerable to AP.
2
Do NOT auto-attack him when his W is active: every auto reflects massive damage back to you.
3
His Q can be blocked by minions or any unit — position yourself behind minions.
4
The taunt is targeted but short range: kite him and stay out of E range.
