Rammus vs Nunu & Willump

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Use Rammus's high gank threat and mobility to punish Nunu's slower clear and weaker isolated dueling early game.
Avoid extended isolated fights; rely on cross-map ganks and lane priority to leverage your anti-AD scaling and taunt lockdown.
Manage tempo by focusing on lanes with overextended AD carries and use defensive wards to mitigate Nunu's early invade attempts.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize pathing through camps near overextended AD-heavy lanes to maximize gank pressure before Nunu can secure objectives.
Fight for river control and Scuttle Crab only when your lanes can move first and deny Nunu's early objective starts.
Use cross-map ganks on opposite side of Nunu's position to force him into reactive plays and deny his tempo.

Danger windows

Beware of Nunu's early (W) engage from fog; avoid overextending without vision to prevent surprise ganks.
Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 where Nunu can chain CC and zone with (R).
Be cautious contesting objectives when Nunu has lane priority or when his (Q) sustain and Smite secure are up.

Early game

Start with a three or four camp clear aimed at lanes that are pushed or vulnerable to ganks.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to prevent Nunu from snowballing early objectives.
Avoid fighting Nunu in isolated river skirmishes early; instead, track his pathing to counter-gank when his (W) gank engage is used.

Power spikes

At first dragon or Rift Herald spawn, convert successful ganks into immediate objective attempts to punish Nunu's reliance on (Q) plus Smite.
Respect Nunu's level 6 (R) zone control; layer your (R) knockup and (E) taunt after his engage to prevent being locked down.
Leverage your scaling armor and taunt value mid to late game to outlast Nunu's mid-tier utility and magic damage.

Win conditions

Use your superior gank threat and mobility to snowball lanes with overextended AD carries and deny Nunu free farm.
Control river vision to prevent Nunu's surprise (W) engages and secure early dragons and Rift Heralds.
Scale into late game as a tanky anti-AD frontline; use your taunt and knockups to lock down carries and enable teamfight wins.
