Amumu vs Rammus

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize controlled first clears to avoid early pressure from Rammus's faster ganks and pathing.
Focus on using (Q) to set up ganks on lanes with priority and avoid early river fights without lane advantage.
This is a scaling teamfight matchup where Amumu must survive early jungle pressure and leverage (R) for objective control and lockdown.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize securing first Scuttle Crab only when nearby lanes can move first to avoid unfavorable fights.
Path to camps that enable ganks on overextended lanes and use (Q) to punish Rammus's slower clear speed and lower invade resistance.
Use level 6 (R) to force grouped fights around dragon, Rift Herald, or Void Grubs to maximize objective control and scaling advantage.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 when Rammus can engage quickly with (Q) and (E).
Be cautious contesting early Scuttle or camps if your lanes lack priority, as Rammus can punish with fast ganks.
Watch for forced smite fights around dragon or Rift Herald where Rammus's taunt can disrupt your team.

Early game

Start with a full clear or three-camp path toward a lane ready to follow your (Q) engage.
Avoid early river skirmishes unless your lanes have clear priority to prevent being outpaced by Rammus's speed ganks.
Use defensive wards at jungle entrances to spot Rammus's early invades and prepare counter-ganks.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to lockdown multiple enemies and convert ganks into objective control.
Exploit Rammus's low clear speed and early dueling weakness by invading or counter-jungling when lanes have priority.
Respect Rammus's (Q) rolling engage and (E) taunt power spike for early ganks on pushed lanes.

Win conditions

Convert jungle tempo and successful (Q) ganks into dragon and Rift Herald control by grouping with teammates.
Deny Rammus free farm by invading camps when lanes have priority and punish his slower clear speed.
Use (R) to initiate teamfights that lock down carries, enabling your team to secure objectives and scale into late game.
