Rammus vs Rek'Sai

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Rammus should leverage his anti-AD scaling and high gank threat to punish Rek'Sai's early aggressive tempo before she snowballs.
Avoid extended farming trades against Rek'Sai's faster clears; focus on cross-map ganks and targeting overextended AD-heavy lanes.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize early ganks on pushed or flashless AD lanes using (Q) engage and (E) taunt to capitalize on Rek'Sai's mid-clear window.
Avoid direct early fights or full clears near Rek'Sai without lane priority; instead, focus on counter-ganking when Rek'Sai commits to invades.
Use vision control around dragon and Rift Herald to deny Rek'Sai early objective setups and force her into reactive plays.

Danger windows

Rek'Sai's early level 3 to 6 tunnel ganks and invades create high-risk windows; avoid isolated jungle fights without lane support.
Be cautious contesting Scuttle Crab or river objectives when Rek'Sai has lane priority and vision control.
Low-health clears or forced smite fights early can be lethal; back off if Rek'Sai shows on the map with aggressive posture.

Early game

Start with a three or four-camp clear aimed at lanes showing overextension to maximize early gank impact.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to avoid Rek'Sai's strong early invade and counter-gank potential.
Ward defensively against Rek'Sai's early tunnel invades and prioritize safe pathing to avoid losing tempo.

Power spikes

Rammus spikes after completing key armor and taunt items; use this to force all-ins on AD carries before Rek'Sai scales.
Rek'Sai's major early power spike is her level 3 tunnel gank; respect this by avoiding isolated river fights before your team can respond.
Rammus's (Q) and (E) combo creates strong gank pressure; look for windows when Rek'Sai's (W) knockup is on cooldown to engage safely.

Win conditions

Convert early gank pressure into dragon and Rift Herald control by coordinating with lanes that can follow your engages.
Use Rammus's scaling armor and taunt to deny Rek'Sai's carry damage in mid to late game teamfights.
Exploit Rek'Sai's lower scaling by denying her jungle camps post-level 6 and forcing her into reactive farming under vision pressure.
