Rammus into Vimedium

Overview

Use your high gank threat and taunt to punish Vi's early jungle pressure on overextended lanes.
Avoid direct fights early since Vi clears faster and duels stronger until your armor scaling kicks in.
Focus on disrupting Vi's tempo by targeting AD-heavy lanes and leveraging your engage speed.

Path aggressively toward overextended AD-heavy lanes to maximize taunt gank potential before Vi reacts.
Avoid full clears if Vi shows early river presence; prioritize opportunistic ganks and counter-jungling with lane priority.
Use cross-map ganks to punish Vi's medium mobility when she commits to one side without lane support.

Avoid river fights when Vi has dash and knockup available to prevent forced skirmishes.
Be cautious contesting early objectives without lane priority due to Vi's strong objective control and lockdown.
Avoid overextending on low-health clears or post-gank resets without vision or lane support.

Start with a three or four-camp clear aimed at lanes that are overextended for early ganks.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to avoid being outpaced by Vi's clear.
Ward defensively against Vi's early river pressure and prepare to counter-gank when Vi commits.

Spike after completing armor items and gaining reliable taunt lockdown to counter Vi's physical damage.
Respect Vi's level 3 and 6 power spikes with and to avoid her lockdown and burst.
Use rolling engage early to initiate ganks before Vi can fully engage or escape.

Convert early taunt ganks into dragon and Rift Herald control by leveraging lane priority.
Deny Vi free farm by invading camps when lanes are pushed and Vi is on the opposite side.
Scale into late game armor and taunt value to become frontline lockdown that punishes Vi's physical damage reliance.
