Ivern vs Rammus

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Ivern's unique camp marking and buff-share paths to deny Rammus camps without taking direct fights.
Focus on utility scaling and protecting carries with shields and Daisy rather than early dueling.
Avoid early isolated fights; instead, leverage lane priority to enable safe counter-jungling and objective setups.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize marking and delaying camps to deny Rammus farm while relying on teammates to collapse on counter-jungle attempts.
Use lane priority to support dragon and Rift Herald setups, trading objectives cross-map when Rammus commits to ganks.
Track Rammus's pathing to counter-gank early pressure on pushed lanes and avoid direct duels unless allies can assist quickly.

Danger windows

Beware early river fights before level 6 where Rammus's mobility and taunt can isolate and kill Ivern.
Avoid low-health clears or isolated camps where Rammus can force smite fights and punish Ivern's weak dueling.
Respect lanes pushed by Rammus's gank pressure, as it increases counter-gank risk and reduces safe jungle access.

Early game

Start with a safe full clear and mark camps to enable flexible routing that avoids Rammus's early gank threat.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to support and prevent Rammus's fast engage.
Avoid early river invades without lane priority as Rammus's mobility and taunt can punish isolated Ivern.

Power spikes

Ivern's power spikes come from level 6 (R) for Daisy knockup and shield (E) slow enabling strong ganks; use these to set up plays with teammates.
Respect Rammus's early (Q) rolling engage and (E) taunt as windows where he can punish overextended lanes.
Rammus's armor scaling peaks mid to late game; maintain utility and objective control to offset his tankiness.

Win conditions

Use creative routing and camp marking to deny Rammus farm and force him into risky pathing.
Leverage shields, roots (Q), and Daisy (R) to protect carries and secure objectives with teammate follow-up.
Convert lane priority and vision control into safe objective setups, counter-jungling, and scaling denial against Rammus.
