User blog comment:Mineko Charat Lucky/Stop Telling Me What to Build, Thanks/@comment-1985493-20131013125154

I'll often ask my team to buy certain items, or coordinate with them to make sure we cover as much ground with our auras as possible (junglers and supports unite!) and on occation I will ask a teammate to pick up a certain item because it will greatly benefit our team. As in, in one game as Graves I noticed our entire team was getting blown up the moment the enemy team got in range of us, and they didn't scale well (the scariest member of the enemy team was a glass cannon Garen,) so rather than surrender to the enemy team pounding on our front door, I told our 100% damage items Irelia to build tanky so that we could have a fight without any unnessecary casualties beforehand and voila! we started to win fights from there on with our tanky frontlining Irelia and won the game. I often tell people what to buy because for the most part, they don't know what to buy (the Irelia admitted as the enemy nexus exploded that this was them playing her for the first time) and it generally leads to great success. Something I won't do is what you guys are talking about how people will flame because they don't like your build. In general, I'm cool with mostly any build, because it's been proven time and time again that just about anything can work; but of course there are exceptions to this rule (AP Riven.)

(BTW, Minero, probably the easiest way to increase your dmg output as Rammus is to have items like sunfire and thornmail or just stack mpen. I've noticed just becoming more tanky as Rammus in general seems to strike fear in my oppenent, because they know they can't kill me but I can kill them :>)
