Rammus Tips and Tricks
- Powerball is Rammus' bread and butter ability. It can be used to quickly traverse through the map to between jungle camps, initiate ganks & fights, or quickly escape when it gets too dangerous.
- Frenzying Taunt offers Rammus with a lot of potential ways to outplay the opponents. A very popular early-game trick if an enemy is near your turret is to Flash, instantly taunt them and run back. This makes them walk towards your turret while attacking you, making the turret damage them and often result in a free kill.
- Always save Frenzying Taunt for crucial moments during teamfights. See a Volibear running at your team and wanting to cast his ultimate? Taunt him so that he is denied that for a bit while the your allies reposition.
- When you're engaging enemies that have escapes— such as Evelynn, Talon and Shaco; try to save your Frenzying Taunt. Having it available when they're low health denies them ways to escape.
- Flash and Soaring Slam can be used while Rammus is in the Powerball mode in order to jump behind a minion wave and hit the enemy champion instead of risking a hit on the minions or having to go around.

Rammus Jungle Pathing Guide
Jungle Pathing represents the choices jungle players make in regards to when and where to gank, invade or just path towards. It includes how camps and buffs are cleared between ganks, anticipating counterganks, and spotting opportunities for invading. Effective pathing requires deep understanding of your champion's abilities, their interactions, and how both team compositions play into those choices.
Full clear with a lvl 3 gank from a Raptor start
The recommended jungle path for Rammus begins on Raptors with Defensive Ball Curl for bonus armor while also dealing damage to all the mobs. Hitting level two unlocks Frenzying Taunt to speed up your Red Buff clear through bonus attack speed. Krugs are next, granting level three and access to Powerball, Rammus' primary gank tool. At this point you can immediately pressure top or bot (depending on your starting side) before deciding whether to recall for items or rotate through river to gank mid. Once on the Blue side, clear Wolves, Gromp and Blue Sentinel for level four and an upgrade into Powerball, then secure Rift Scuttler and go for another gank.
This route is flexible and can be adjusted depending on matchup and lane states. For example, you can start Red, then go Raptors into Krugs for a fast top/bot gank. Alternatively, Red into Krugs into Raptors sets you up for a mid-lane gank with Scuttle control. Both variations give up some early farm for faster lane pressure, but they play into Rammuses biggest strength: punishing immobile champions with repeated crowd control.
Rammus excels in early aggression once he has Powerball unlocked, as its speed and knockback synergize perfectly with Frenzying Taunt. Look to gank lanes with reliable follow-up CC, such as mid mages with roots or bot duos with engage supports.
