Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize full clears to safely collect orbs and progress toward form without risky early fights.
Use your superior clear speed and wall mobility to avoid Rammus's slower path and punish predictable routes.
This is a mid-paced scaling matchup where you leverage form timing and terrain ganks to outmaneuver Rammus's early gank threat.

Jungle Plan

Path for efficient orb collection and form progress while staying out of Rammus's taunt and engage range.
Contest first Scuttle only if your lanes can move first and you have vision control to avoid his speed ganks.
Use terrain and wall routes to cross-map gank pushed lanes and counter-jungle camps when Rammus shows on the opposite side.

Danger windows

Beware early level 3-4 when Rammus can use (Q) speed and (E) taunt to force fights if you overextend or path predictably.
Avoid isolated river fights without vision as Rammus's engage and knockup can quickly turn skirmishes.
Be cautious contesting objectives if your lanes lack priority, as Rammus's gank threat is highest when he can capitalize on overextensions.

Early game

Start with a full clear to hit form progress before engaging in fights.
Avoid early river fights unless your nearby lanes have priority to contest Scuttle safely.
Use wall paths to evade Rammus's early gank attempts and counter-invade when he commits to three or four camp clears toward overextended lanes.

Power spikes

After form transformation, use your increased dueling and mobility to force fights that capitalize on your chosen win condition.
Respect Rammus's (Q) and (E) combo early when he can quickly engage and taunt, especially near river or lane brushes.
Your mid-game spike post-form allows you to outmaneuver Rammus's slower clear and gank-focused tempo.

Win conditions

Convert your faster clear and form timing into aggressive counter-jungling before Rammus scales armor and taunt effectiveness.
Use wall paths to create unexpected gank angles on pushed lanes, forcing Rammus to respond or lose tempo.
Control dragon and Rift Herald vision to deny Rammus objective setups and force him into unfavorable fights where your mobility and damage excel.
