Elise into Rammusmedium

Overview

Use Elise's very high early gank threat and dueling power to pressure lanes and invade before Rammus scales.
Prioritize early tempo and river control to deny Rammus farm and objective access due to his slower clear.
Focus on snowballing lanes with early dives and punishing Rammus's weak early invade resistance.

Invade pre-reset to punish Rammus's slow clear and low invade resistance.
Use early wards to track Rammus and counter-gank his speed ganks on pushed or overextended lanes.
Secure early dragon and Rift Herald after successful ganks to convert tempo into objectives and deny Rammus scaling.

Avoid fights when Rammus has rolling engage available and lanes lack priority.
Be cautious contesting isolated river fights or Scuttle when low on health or without vision control.
Respect forced smite fights around early dragon or Rift Herald if Rammus's team can collapse with lane priority.

Start with a three-camp clear into early gank or invade to leverage Elise's level 3 power spike.
Contest first Scuttle Crab only when nearby lanes have priority to collapse on Rammus.
Avoid extended fights if Rammus has rolling engage ready; track his pathing for counter-ganks.

Elise's level 3 with cocoon and rappel enables lethal early ganks; force lane leads.
Respect Rammus's rolling engage and taunt during early ganks to avoid all-ins.
Capitalize on early kills to snowball before Rammus reaches his late-game anti-AD tank scaling.

Convert early gank pressure and successful invades into lane leads that snowball your team.
Deny Rammus free farm by invading pre-reset and controlling river vision to limit his gank angles.
Use Elise's early burst and dive to secure objectives quickly before Rammus reaches his anti-AD scaling power spike.
