Rammus vs Nasus

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Use Rammus's gank threat and mobility to punish Nasus before he stacks (Q) and scales into a side-lane threat.
Avoid extended jungle fights early; focus on cross-map pressure and punishing Nasus's slow early clear and low invade resistance.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize early ganks on pushed or immobile lanes to deny Nasus free farm and slow his stack buildup.
Invade Nasus when he shows on side lanes or after a clear, especially before he reaches key stack thresholds.
Use river control and vision to force Nasus into reactive farming and prevent safe side-lane scaling.

Danger windows

Nasus becomes dangerous around 15-20 minutes when (Q) stacks and (R) are active; avoid isolated river fights and forced smite contests then.
Be cautious invading early if Nasus's side lanes have priority and can collapse to counter-gank.
Avoid low-health clears or forced fights when Nasus can slow and kite with (W), especially if your lanes lack priority.

Early game

Start with a three- or four-camp clear aimed at lanes with priority to enable early ganks.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to support and Nasus is pathing away.
Ward defensively against Nasus's slow clear and potential counter-invades from level 3 onward.

Power spikes

Rammus spikes with early (Q) and (E) for fast ganks; use these to punish Nasus before level 6.
Respect Nasus's level 6 (R) spike that grants durability; avoid extended fights during his ultimate duration.
Watch for Nasus's high (Q) stack threshold and increased dueling power; increase map pressure to deny stacks before this.

Win conditions

Convert early gank pressure into objective control by securing dragons and Rift Herald with lane priority.
Use cross-map ganks and counter-jungling to deny Nasus free farm and stacking opportunities.
Leverage Rammus's taunt and engage to lock down key AD carries in teamfights, capitalizing on anti-AD scaling to carry late game.
