Ekko vs Rammus

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Ekko's faster clear speed and mobility to avoid early river fights and focus on hitting level 6 safely.
Prioritize covering lanes with setup for (W) stuns and avoid direct early duels with Rammus who relies on ganks and taunts.
This is a snowball vs scale jungle matchup where Ekko must leverage early tempo and objective control to deny Rammus's slower clear and gank impact.

Jungle Plan

Use full clears to maintain tempo and only contest river objectives like dragon or Void Grubs when nearby lanes can move first.
Invade Rammus early only if you have lane priority and vision control, exploiting his slow clear speed.
Focus on counter-ganking Rammus's ganks by tracking his movement and using (W) to zone or stun during skirmishes.

Danger windows

Respect Rammus's early gank threat with (Q) and (E) taunt before Ekko reaches level 6.
Avoid isolated river fights before securing vision and lane priority to prevent forced smite contests.
Be cautious during low-health clears or after aggressive pathing that leaves Ekko vulnerable to counter-invades.

Early game

Start with a full clear or five-camp route to reach level 6 quickly and maintain healthy resources.
Avoid contesting the first Scuttle Crab unless nearby lanes have priority to support a fight.
Track Rammus's pathing to counter-gank his early ganks, especially when he targets overextended lanes.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks (Q)-(W)-(E) combo giving Ekko reliable burst and mobility; use this to punish Rammus before he builds armor.
Level 6 (R) provides Ekko with a safety net and reset potential; look for all-in or pick opportunities when available.
First completed AP burst item significantly boosts Ekko's damage, enabling more confident objective pressure and fights.

Win conditions

Convert faster clears and level 6 power spike into aggressive counter-ganks and pick attempts using (W) stuns.
Deny Rammus free farm and objective control by invading when lanes have priority and contesting Scuttle and dragon setups.
Use Ekko's mobility and burst to pressure side lanes and force resets, leveraging scaling to outpace Rammus's tankiness and teamfight impact.
