There are over a dozen tanks in this game. Would you like to compare all of them to Malphite? Why Rammus?

Malphite doesn't soak as much damage. His armor is only active in the beginning of any fight or skirmish. Rammus as an on demand steroid. On top of that Rammus has better scaling armor and the same amount of magic resistance scaling than Malphite.

Malphite has one knock up that is unstoppable every 100 seconds at a 1000 range with an AOE of 300.

Rammus knocks up anyone he hits with his powerball every 10 seconds.

Seismic Shard steals up to 26% of the opponents movement speed while Rammus gives himself 40% movement speed that builds up to a 140% increase in mobility.

Malphite's passive doesn't offer him any utility beyond shielding based on his health while Rammus gains attack damage based on armor.

Malphite has an AS reduction to apply on opponents in a 200 range as well as a slow while Rammus taunts one opponent stripping them of 25 armor and can taunt for 2.25 seconds.

And that's still not talking about the usefulness of Tremors.

The only thing Malphite has over Rammus is being better in a solo lane against melee carries and having a good iniation. Rammus has everything else. More on demand mobility, more on demand knock ups, and more lockdown, ontop of that he has seige power.

How many times does it have to be said?
