Rammus vs Ivern

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Rammus is a speed ganker and anti-AD tank who must leverage early gank pressure to compensate for modest clear speed against Ivern.
Focus on punishing Ivern's slower clears and low invade resistance by targeting overextended lanes and denying camps.

Jungle Plan

Use cross-map ganks to punish Ivern's slow clear and limited dueling, especially targeting his marked camps before he can pick them up.
Invade Ivern's jungle early when lanes have priority to deny camps and force him off his route.
Prioritize dragon and Rift Herald control after establishing river vision and winning early skirmishes to leverage your anti-AD scaling.

Danger windows

Beware of Ivern's early invade attempts when he uses buff-sharing paths; avoid isolated river fights without lane support.
Avoid forced smite fights early as Ivern can use Daisy and shields to turn skirmishes.
Be cautious clearing low-health camps alone early, as Ivern's counter-jungle paths can punish slow clears.

Early game

Start with a three or four-camp clear aimed at lanes with priority to set up early ganks using (Q).
Fight for first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to secure river control and vision.
Avoid direct fights early unless you have lane priority or can catch Ivern isolated due to his low dueling strength.

Power spikes

Rammus spikes with early (Q) and (E) for gank pressure; use these to punish Ivern before he scales.
Respect Ivern's (Q) root and (R) knockup during grouped objective fights as they enable strong ally follow-up.
Rammus's armor and taunt scaling become crucial later to lock down AD carries protected by Ivern's utility.

Win conditions

Convert early gank pressure and camp denial into dragon and Rift Herald control to snowball lanes.
Use superior mobility and taunt lockdown to punish overextended AD carries before Ivern's utility scales.
Track Ivern's pathing to counter-gank effectively and deny him safe camp pickups, limiting his late-game utility impact.
