Rammus Comp tierlist. these are all 3 cost Re-roll. so roll on 7/8 (can roll duelists on 6)
Why play?
If you hit early rammus(before 3-3), he's a great tank for high-damage comps that don't conventially breed super tanks.
Itemization is just resistances+crownguard, then durability modifiers like spirit visage and steadfast try not to make warmogs and , save belts for strikers, morello, nashors etc for super offensive carries. He doesn't do well with most emblems, but if you have no one else to hold them like in duelist, then just put it on him.
- Adaptive good in prodigies,
The catch is you should only be playing him with comps that only have a defensive trait web of (2) and below or its just better to itemize your strongest in-trait tank, especially before 3 star. You cannot play him in defensive verticals, only offensive verticals.
Rammus is still on the weak side right now so i'd only recommend to play Prodigy and Duelists with him, but u can flex him into several comps that only have 7/8 important units like Crew.
Another thing is if juggernauts or protector verticals are at most 1 way contested and you have early smolder items;
- Strikers
- Infinity Edge
- Shojin/Guinsoo
It's probably way better to just play smolder instead, My reasoning is that in the current 15.1B meta, Prodigy is a very contested fast 8 comp and you'll need to hit multiple 3 stars with duelists so it isn't so reliable.
Remember that these rammus comps require good economy and only come online after you have 3 starred rammus and a relevant itemzied carry in your veritcal trait.
Stage 4 is pretty rough, You'll only win stage 4 fights if u have a fully itemized rammus 2 star carry and a fully itemized 2 star(2-4) cost carry.
If you do not hit rammus early do not force him, he isn't worth it. he must be 3 starred to be viable and 3 starring a 3 cost is very expensive, aswell as requiring you to stay on 7/8. While he's relatively easy to 3 star, due to the monster stacking system, he's balanced around being an early pick-up.
**Remember all the monsters are interchangeable(even at 3 star), but of course pivoting the monster late-game isn't so advised due to EXP. **
Rare Treat is his best, Power-Up however in comps like duelists the charging one is quite good as that comp is designed to run over comps from one side to the other.
In my comp modules, ignore item economy i'm only showing BiS or close to BiS items.
Rammus Prodigies.
Rammus Duelists
Rammus Executioners
Rammus Sorcerors.
Will update....
I'm one tricking him right now trying to find the best ways to play him.
Notes..
Duelists, Executioners and Sorcs are extremely reliant on hitting 3 stars. If you do not hit the 3 stars you will bot 4 surely, do not take combat augments. it's only item augments and preferably gold/econ augments or you will not succeed.
