Kayn into Rammusmedium

Overview

Prioritize full clears to safely collect orbs and progress toward form without risky early fights.
Use your superior clear speed and wall mobility to avoid Rammus's slower path and punish predictable routes.
Leverage form timing and terrain ganks to outmaneuver Rammus's early gank threat.

Path for efficient orb collection and form progress while staying out of Rammus's taunt and engage range.
Contest first Scuttle only if your lanes can move first and you have vision control to avoid his speed ganks.
Use terrain and wall routes to cross-map gank pushed lanes and counter-jungle camps when Rammus shows on the opposite side.

Beware early level 3-4 when Rammus can use speed and taunt to force fights.
Avoid isolated river fights without vision as Rammus's engage and knockup can quickly turn skirmishes.
Be cautious contesting objectives if your lanes lack priority, as Rammus can capitalize on overextensions.

Start with a full clear to hit form progress before engaging in fights.
Avoid early river fights unless nearby lanes have priority to contest Scuttle safely.
Use wall paths to evade Rammus's early gank attempts and counter-invade when he commits to slow clears.

After form transformation, use increased dueling and mobility to force fights matching your win condition.
Respect Rammus's and combo early when he can quickly engage and taunt.
Your mid-game spike post-form lets you outmaneuver Rammus's slower clear and gank tempo.

Convert faster clear and form timing into aggressive counter-jungling before Rammus scales armor and taunt.
Use wall paths to create unexpected gank angles on pushed lanes, forcing Rammus to respond or lose tempo.
Control dragon and Rift Herald vision to deny Rammus objective setups and force unfavorable fights.
