Rammus vs Rengar

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Prioritize ganks with (Q) and (E) to leverage Rammus's high gank threat against Rengar's early invade strength.
Avoid extended early jungle fights; focus on defensive wards and pathing around overextended lanes to punish Rengar's invade attempts.

Jungle Plan

Path toward AD-heavy lanes for ganks using (Q) speed and (E) taunt to punish immobile carries.
Avoid full clears against Rengar's faster clear speed; instead, use cross-map ganks to apply pressure and deny his tempo.
Prioritize river control and contest Scuttle when nearby lanes can assist, then leverage taunt ganks to secure dragon or Rift Herald setups.

Danger windows

Avoid river skirmishes early when Rengar has brush control and can leverage his empowered (E) root.
Be cautious contesting objectives without lane priority, as Rengar excels at punishing isolated fights with (R).
Low-health clears are risky; do not force smite fights against Rengar's high dueling and invade resistance.

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 allied lanes have priority to avoid Rengar's brush ambushes.
Ward defensively near jungle entrances to detect Rengar's early invades and prepare counter-ganks.

Power spikes

Rammus spikes with (Q) engage and (E) taunt; use these to force picks before Rengar can react.
Respect Rengar's empowered (E) root and stealth (R) for pick potential; avoid isolated river fights without vision.
Rammus's armor scaling becomes crucial mid-late game against Rengar's physical damage; play toward that timing to absorb pressure.

Win conditions

Convert early gank pressure into dragon control by coordinating taunt engages with lane priority.
Use vision and tracking to counter-gank Rengar's invades and deny him camps, slowing his scaling.
Scale into late game armor and taunt lockdown to neutralize Rengar's damage and enable teamfight dominance.
