How Rammus plays
Editorial Reading of the kit above, not a sourced claim - the numbers inside it were checked against the client before publishing.
Rammus exists to make one specific person's life miserable: whoever's fed on the enemy team. Puncturing Taunt forces a target to attack him and nothing else for a few seconds while also shredding their armor, which is brutal against a carry who just wanted to keep hitting someone else. Powerball is both his engage and his escape, a rolling charge that gains speed the longer it's held and slows on impact. Defensive Ball Curl adds a big chunk of resistances along with damage reflected back at anyone attacking him, making trading into him during that window actively bad. Spiked Shell converts a quarter of his armor into attack damage, so a heavily defensive build still keeps him relevant offensively. Tremors closes fights out with a wide area damage tick that also hits structures, useful for both teamfights and pushing down a tower afterward. He has very little burst of his own, so his value comes entirely from disrupting someone more dangerous than him.

Plays well with
28.8 base armor plus Defensive Ball Curl makes AD compositions unable to kill him; magic damage ignores all of it.
"In lane" means both champions are played in the same role in Classic; "across the map" represents cross-lane dynamics (e.g. jungler ganks, roaming supports). All matchups evaluated strictly within the 63 Classic launch champions.
