Talk:Rammus/@comment-112.205.50.56-20121025173830

Riot went a little overboard on their Rammus nerfs. Scaling taunt duration was perfectly acceptable and Powerball speed is tolerable (sucks but it's not too bad) but nerfing DBC plus the fact that his HP is rather underwhelming for a tank is just wrong. Even with a Giant's Belt, other champions can still reach better max HP values and he can be rather soft outside of DBC.

By himself, his early to mid as a tank and jungler doesn't rank as high anymore but he still does his job once he manages to build some items; Warmogs is a must.

I'd rather have a tank that can perform more consistently, though, like Maokai or Alistar (I know he's ban fodder but I don't play ranked so sue me). Rammus can still do his job (I used to main him until I switched to Alistar though I still play Rammus from time to time for old times' sake) but other tanks are better picks now.
