Tank
Beginner Rule
Be careful attacking Rammus while Defensive Ball Curl (W) is active — you'll often hurt yourself.
Rammus is a tank jungler who excels at punishing physical damage champions and forcing engages. He wants to use Powerball (Q) to rapidly close the distance before locking enemies down with crowd control. Many beginners underestimate how dangerous attacking Rammus can be.

Dodge the ball — it builds speed. Once he hits you the slow enables his full W-E combo.
WWhat it does
Goes into defensive curl greatly increasing Armor and MR. Returns damage to attackers.
