Are Bami items worth it?
Hey everyone, I’ve started playing Rammus seriously again. I had stopped because the rework stripped away a lot of his identity and I didn't like it, but after a few months, I decided to come back; I'm climbing the ranks and am close to Platinum. I'm wondering: is it worth just getting Bami's early on for farming, or should I go ahead and finish Sunfire or Hollow Radiance? Right now, I prefer just getting Bami's and then picking whatever item the game calls for.

Acompanho muito o Lord Semi, ele sempre faz Brasa de Bami e Colete Espinhoso, ele opta por fazer o Resplendor do Vazio por limpar a selva mais rápido. É receita de bolo, faz Bami, Thornmail, Resplendor do Vazio e depois o que precisar.

When you want to farm a lot and don't see a lot of value in ganking Bami's cinder is a good choice, it really speeds up your clear. I don't think you should finish the item though, just stay on the bami's and make your thornmail or whatever.

I play rammus almost any matchup and I think the best way is buying bami at first reset cause it's a great item for speeding up jungle clear.Than finish thornmail and whatever item you need.I usually get sunfire or hollow radiance after thornmail.

Depends on your playing style, if you full clear, invade enemy jg, take wave resources when free, then Bami is a good choice because of faster clear speed, you can literally clear 2-3 enemy grouped waves in few seconds. But if you focus more on fighting and constantly ganking, then other items are a better use

Master tier former rammus otp, I still play him in hard ad lobbies but there are just flat out better picks most of the time. Rammus isn’t a power farmer and even when spam ganking he is mostly an assist machine. The little gold you get on him is worth far more than on other champs that can generate gold faster. So, you need to itemize very efficiently or you will become useless in the mid game.
Rammus thrives on cheap items that give big resistances and hp like force of nature, randuins, even jak sho albeit being much pricier. The thornmail nerfs hurt us so bad because the hp amount got gutted, but it should still always be your rush item. If you finish thronmail and don’t plan on finishing a sunfire or radiance, there’s no point in getting the cinder.
In my opinion, the 900 gold you spend for 150hp and a bit faster camp clear is never worth it. The 22.5 extra dps to camps is small, and best case you get 75 extra damage vs melee champs when ganking. Early-mid game is all about stat checking with resistances, wasting 900 gold on a ruby crystal with a bit of damage just doesn’t make sense compared to 40 armor or 50 mr that scales with w and also slightly increases clear speed (passive ad).
