Rammus Build Guide (Jungle)

Rammus is the armor answer: Powerball ganks arrive at absurd speed, Defensive Ball Curl makes autoattackers kill themselves, and Puncturing Taunt forces carries to do exactly that. Into physical teams he is close to unfair.

Magic penetration feeds the surprising magic damage in his kit, armor seals stack with Spiked Shell, health quints round out the early clear.
