It's not even funny how archaic his design is and how truly powerless he is compared to his peers. Bruisers build straight tank and outdamage him with similar utility. Tanks outtank him because he has only a single cc (in both senses as the slow is not reliable against anyone near creeps --see everyone) to his name. He cannot kill anything on his own be it buff or enemy (and this is particularly infuriating that after your first round of buffs you either have to buy a razor or ult just to kill the buff before it kills you). He doesn't possess anything in his kit to help him lane.

Hell he doesn't even get the benefit of half of his skills. His w is so bad in the current form that he can neither activate it in hopes of chasing when the enemy is trying to discourage him from coming at them nor can he expect reliable damage from it if not maxed first (55 damage base at max rank means that if the adc has a bt they would sustain minimal to no damage from rammus' w effect even if they hit on him the whole 6 second duration)=math 200*.18=36 hp without accounting for any crit or 41 with a single dblade-> 14 base damage per auto-> worst possible play would be approximately 7 autos during this period->98 damage for hitting rammus with dbc for the entirety of the skill at max rank and that doesn't even factor in any mr which would further negate his output.

Secondly his r hurts him just as bad if not worse than his w. His R requires him to stay deadpan in the middle of the enemy team for 8! seconds in order to dish out full damage but if you compare to every other tank, their ability to 'lockdown" or even "burst" the target/s is substantially higher as rammus neither can afford to sit in the middle of the enemy team for 8 seconds even with dbc up for 75% of that time, nor can he assume the enemies to be so brutally packed as to be able to ensure 3 or more (at the very least) will take this position crippling damage (should he decide he is best fit as a suicide bomber). This doesn't even consider the variety of gap closers capable of simply turning tail over some wall in even his best areas for show: a 1v1 scenario (though even here rammus would be at a distinct disadvantage against everything but a support simply because his kit doesn't have enough damage to kill anything in even the best played combo of skills and autos) or the absolute best possible scenario 2v1 where he can only hope to surprise an enemy and taunt before they simply hop away from both parties laughing along the way. This also is giving his q the benefit of the doubt as creeps and neutral monsters serve all too well as a bodyguard from ever being directly affected by his most damaging non-ult ability and a key "slow".

tl;dr Rammus suffers mightily in his current form, would it be so bad for riot to simply take another look at him (either his numbers or imo a more fitting kit rework)?
