Coville gave a very solid Rammus analysis. But here's one thing he didn't mention that might blow your mind: Rammus can start with a regrowth pendant.

Doesn't sound great? Well, think about it. Starting regrowth means you can get a philostone on your first back, so around 4 minutes (the majority of times, Rammus really needs to take a B after clearing his path before he can gank). Rammus is an absolute mana-ho. Two of his big jungling weaknesses are that he has no regen in jungle and that he runs out of mana FAST without Blue. Problem solved.

What's more, you can have a philostone AND a HoG up by the 8 minute mark. Easily. Unlike many other junglers, you can get by without buying boots immediately. Two gold items, both of which address key problems with Rammus. I used to think Rammus (my long-time favorite champ) was slightly underpowered. Then I tried out starting regrowth. YEAH, it's that good.
