And yes, the 1v1 chases are a rare scenario. But he's still effective even when there's other guys around. Plus, he makes a good straggler catcher if he has some spare durability left (which can happen since people are taught not to focus tanks in the first place).
There's more to the game than just laning you know. It's just that people began to slowly realize that Rammus is god at ganking while filling the tank role, needing little reliance on summoner spells and whatnot. Demographics, playstyles, blah blah blah.
Hell, when I picked up on Anivia, she was just a champion in the recesses of people's minds, and she was a rare sighting (helped making Qs land much easier since they thought it was just another auto-attack snowflake). Then over the months, Riot gave her a slight buff in one area, then another, and no one really paid much attention. Then suddenly out of nowhere she becomes a focus of QQing. Granted, Elementz had a hand in that. But when the smoke cleared and the facts were examined, it turned out the real source of grievance was R+E (anyone complaining about Q is a baddie imo, it's slow for a skillshot), which was untouched since Anivia's creation afaik. Yes, even during the patch when CCs were supposedly made separate from other effects for the purposes of Mercury Treads and Cleanse.
I know. But no one even thought he was that good compared to other tanks like shen and amumu until people started jungling with him. It's stupid because it's not even hard to avoid getting ganked. If you play it smart in a lane and get wards and whatnot you will almost never die to jungle ganks. It's just easier to get a gank as rammus compared to junglers like udyr or warwick that come out of bushes much more slowly.
It's the same thing as other junglers just faster.
