Taliyah vs Rammus

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Taliyah's faster clear and ranged poke to secure early river control and contest Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority.
Prioritize pathing through jungle choke points to leverage (W) and (E) for punishing Rammus's slower clear and limited invade resistance.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize early river control and contest Scuttle when lanes can support to deny Rammus tempo and vision.
Use worked ground to sequence camps efficiently, enabling faster rotations to side lanes for ganks or objective setups.
Track Rammus's pathing to counter-gank his early gank attempts, especially near lanes vulnerable to his (Q) engage and (E) taunt.

Danger windows

Be cautious during low-health clears as Rammus can punish with high mobility and taunt engage.
Avoid isolated river fights without lane priority, as Rammus's (Q) engage and (E) taunt can force unfavorable skirmishes.
Respect Rammus's early gank timing post-level 3, especially when lanes are overextended or lack vision.

Early game

Start with a full clear to reach level 3 quickly and maintain tempo over Rammus's slower three or four camp clears.
Contest first Scuttle only if mid or bot lane have priority to avoid Rammus's early gank angles.
Avoid extended early invades; instead, use vision and positioning near river choke points to deter Rammus and prepare for counter-ganks.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R), greatly increasing map pressure and enabling long-range plays to create numbers advantages before objectives.
First completed mage item boosts poke and wave control, allowing more confident pressure on camps and lanes to deny Rammus's scaling.
Level 3 provides the full (Q)-(W)-(E) combo to punish Rammus's predictable engages through displacement and zone control.

Win conditions

Convert faster clear tempo into early river control and Scuttle dominance to limit Rammus's gank threat.
Use (R) to create numbers advantages around dragon and Rift Herald, enabling safer objective takes and denying Rammus's scaling.
Leverage (W) and (E) displacement and zone control to punish Rammus's engages and protect priority lanes for snowballing leads.
