Might be something you want to try before Season 2.
I usually just steal builds from http://www.mobafire.com/ and then see how they work in-game and change them if necessary.

I use http://www.solomid.net/ as my main LoL resource
There seems to be more of a quality control for guides featured on the site
Mobafire is cool when you're starting out though,(not everychamp has a guide up on solomid) but as you play more you'll notice alot of the guides are insanely expensive/impractical/the same

No wonder I see the Level 6 boots on him a lot. I still think Rammus is an excellent roaming tank, though.
Alistar and Taric are the best roamers because they can disrupt lanes and don't require as much farm that Rammus would need. Hiding in the brush at top to zone the enemy solo out so your solo gets an exp advantage is enough damage done. Then you repeat this disruption at mid and enemy jungle. Gank orientated roaming whilst effective can be easily countered by good warding and playing passively. For better or worse, in solo queue people don't do this which is why its the prominent metagame currently. 
It's actually a bit harder to pull off in solo sometimes because of the lack of communication and teamwork. Sure it can be countered by good ward placement and playing passively but that pretty much counters everything.caromelo said:Alistar and Taric are the best roamers because they can disrupt lanes and don't require as much farm that Rammus would need.

In my opinion, the best counter is actually another roamer or rather a 'better' roamer.This was such a satisfying game that I had to post. I felt I played well throughout the entire game and managed put the team in a good position mid game. What would have been an easy win became more interesting when our lack of warding came to bite us in the butt with the enemy taking baron and winning the subsequent team fights. Towards the late game, we managed to play more as a team and make a few good picks, one of which was a baron steal with my ultimate. Eventually we crawled our way back and won it with perseverance.
AP Miss Fortune is so fun. =)

Yeah I know. It sucks that you can still get these sort of players at lvl 30 though.
Also anyone feel that Rammus is in need of a nerf? Countless times with friends we've been dominating a team but all it takes for them is Rammus to spin, taunt and ulti to destroy your carry and then the rest of the team.

Played with one tank that at the start of the game killed himself over and over at the tower, what's funny is that when we started getting into team fights he'd always die, but was worth virtually nothing to the other team, and since no one gets money from a turret kill he pretty much starved the team of gold in the late game.

It comes down to who they are facing. Some heroes counter others fairly easily. In general I think the strongest mids are Ugot, Ashe, Nidalee, Anivia, Corki, Karthus, Irelia (if good), Leblanc, Kassadin, Ryze, and Teemo. If you have one of them, you should have a strong mid. Some heroes counter the other mid picks really well though. Like Kassadin vs. anyone who doesn't have equal harass or healing power is screwed come lvl 6.

have your carry build banshees and/or tanks block powerball
GG ram
His skillset just lends itself to pubstomping and taking advantage of disorganization
but once team fights start he's nowhere near as effective as shen and amumu. This was true for a while even before his recent nerfs
He used to be good early game at ganking, but I don't think that's true anymore after his nerfs and buffs to towers

Love wasting my games with trolls. Worse that it was a premade.

I just did really well as Rammus in a Ranked game. I'd say he really thrives in the team fight environment late game. Powerball + Flash is the perfect initiation. Hits all of them, go for the carries/scare them off while the tanks run after you trying to stop and the rest of your team rapes them.

Eh. I have never had problems with Swain mid, and I'm really not big on his character overall. He is easy to deal with as either of my mains that I go mid with (Ashe and Nidalee). The only champs that always give me trouble are Leblanc and Kassadin. Urgot also can be a bitch.
thestopsign said:
Ashe and nidalee, along with annie, vlad, irelia and ryze are easiest for me to kill in mid when im swain
So far i've failed to mid against warwicks and some malzahars
Urgots, leblancs and kassadins can be irritating. Urgot because his quite of a tank early game, leblanc because of her flash skill and kass because of his silence (but his not overtly hard to lane against unless he is good)
Archie said:I played with two friends who have never ever played a DotA game before. It was pretty fucking fun and hilarious to see them go 0-10 against beginner CPU. I was trying my best to give them advise and coaching but I guess I didn't reach them.
Oh, my friends totally laughed at me when I first started dota. I never really had experience to RTS let alone PC games so this format was totally foreign to me. I forgot how bad I did lol but it took me forever to get decent at it.
Haha yea, I vaguely remember playing DotA with a few friends and we must have ruined quite a few games with are terrible play. Gave Karthus a chance and not sure if I like him all that much his Q feels like a pain to use, it was hilarious at the end running around with 800+ AP and Ulting people.

What's your setup with Swain? I've done ok with him, but never really well unless I get fed early on.
Anyone have any frustrations with the game at the moment? Nothing related to server stability. I mean like, are there any champions you guys despite playing? Is there any roles you find really boring because of how the champions are designed? Feel free to vent in this direction about anything in game related.
Certain champions have one super build that just shits all over other builds.
For example, rushing catalyst on every AP hero. It's just plain better than any other early game option, and then later, you build it into an RoA. After that you go for Cap.
It's kind of annoying that Cap is so efficient it's a must on any AP hero. If you want to break 400 before 30 minutes, you have to get Cap. And if you don't, people will yell at you when you're not burning a path through their team with Brand/Lux/Morgan/whatever.

Yuuuurp. I dispise Swain. If I haven't got a silence I find it incredibly hard to go on the assault against him.
Not looking forward to this week: People playing Brand badly, Nunu and his ult. Though it finally gives me a chance to try Irelia, Singed and Taric.
But mentioning Champs makes me want to give HoN a go. I'm sick of having to spend money on them. Sick of summoner spells. Getting someone incredibly low only for them to pop a heal and go back to half, chain snares or people blinking away. Then there is the whole issues with runes!
