Nasus vs Rammus

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Prioritize safe jungle clears and avoid early fights to survive Rammus's high gank threat and mobility.
Focus on controlling river vision and contest Scuttle only when side lanes have priority to limit Rammus's early pressure.

Jungle Plan

Full clear efficiently and track Rammus’s path to anticipate his ganks and set up counter-ganks.
Contest Scuttle and river vision only when nearby lanes have priority to deny Rammus early tempo.
Avoid early invades; focus on stacking (Q) safely and look for counter-jungle opportunities when Rammus is on the opposite side.

Danger windows

Early level 3 invades when Rammus can use (Q) engage and (E) taunt to punish isolated clears.
Isolated river fights without lane priority expose Nasus to Rammus’s strong gank threat.
Forced smite fights on dragon or Rift Herald when Rammus’s team has better early objective control.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear to reach level 3 quickly while minimizing risk of early invade.
Avoid river skirmishes without lane priority to prevent getting punished by Rammus's engage and taunt.
Secure first Scuttle only if your lanes can assist or have priority to safely contest vision and tempo.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) grants durability and extended fight potential to punish Rammus's engage.
High (Q) stacks combined with (W) slow create a dueling threshold to force side-lane fights.
First defensive or sheen-style item boosts damage and survivability, improving objective control and skirmishes.

Win conditions

Convert safe jungle tempo into stacking (Q) and reach side-lane pressure windows to outscale Rammus.
Use vision control around dragon and river to deny Rammus early objectives and force unfavorable skirmishes.
Leverage (R) durability and high (Q) stacks to win extended fights and secure Rift Herald and dragon for team advantage.
