Rammus is considered to be "broken" because he outweighs the current meta-ideas people are trying to force onto Dominion. People seem to think auto-attackers are the way to go for the majority of the team's composition, leaving the one mage to hit bottom lane who will have little to no interaction with Rammus. Here's the thing; Rammus will ALWAYS dominate auto-attack champions. I've 5v1 as him and lived because the other team had 4 AD champions, all of whom died due to proper item purchases and some feeding. And that was on Summoner's Rift.

His speed with Powerball is impressive on Dominion, but this has more to do with the speed-boosts on Dominion than the ability itself. The only movement speed item he should buy is Force of Nature; anything else, especially speed boots, takes away his potential as a tank.

On the note of building him, here's something I've noticed; in the last five games I've played with a Rammus, one actually built him correctly for the enemy team. One of them literally bought five Zeals. While he was able to capture points and take on the AD champs, the AP champs on the enemy team slaughtered him quickly. Had they acted on his death more effectively, they could have easily taken a point due to his absence.

I'll end with this. Most of the people playing Rammus don't know how to play him effectively. Most people playing against Rammus don't know how to build a team comp or champion to counter him. Most people playing Dominion are playing AD champions, which even a terrible Rammus can destroy.

TL;DR - Throw a Morgana at an MR-less Rammus and see how well he does.

...actually almost every single rammus ive encountered prioritizes FoN, as soon as they have their boots and sunfire/thornmail. most players know how to cover his "weakness" to magic damage. but if people are tired of losing to rammus in blind pick every game, usually a single counter to him is enough to balance the odds. the only thing that sickens me about rammus/shaco is the number of people that pick these champs when theyre undoubtably the strongest for the mode which FORCES others to choose counters. at least the 5 zeal rammus players are trying something unusual and fun. leave the tryharding meta game strategies in SR and keep dominion fun kthx

AP Shaco laughs when armor rammus powerballs into four jack in the boxes and explodes.

When was the last time someone built QSS as a hard counter to Rammus? Too many just want to build glass cannon, and then complain that any champion does 'tons of damage'.

Powerball, DBC, and Tremors all deal Magic Damage. QSS removes taunt and gives MR. Rammus countered. Kill squishies and proceed to victory.

The only reason I ban Rammus is because I can't rely on my teammates to counter him.

As for Pantheon and Wukong... build armor. Use CC. Same as any other AD. Pantheon specifically is pathetic if you stun him immediately after he uses HSS. But who uses CC on Dominion anyway?

If you nerf Rammus, you gimp him for Summoner's Rift. If you disable him, no one will actually learn how to use their brains when they build items. It's a lose/lose. Better stop playing Dominion.

I really enjoy reading all the posts that try to explain how you can easily defeat Rammus in Dominion by not being stupid. Imagine now that you are playing against a Rammus that is not playing stupid. Now what?

There is a reason that Rammus is banned in every draft game, and it isn't because nobody plays magic damage champions.
