Kindred vs Rammus

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Kindred's ranged mobility and mark control to outpace Rammus's slower clear and invade resistance.
Prioritize river control and contest early marks only when nearby lanes have priority to avoid Rammus's strong early ganks.
This is a scaling skirmisher versus tank ganker matchup; focus on tempo and objective pressure rather than direct early fights.

Jungle Plan

Path with mark spawns and lane priority in mind, focusing on early marks and safe counter-jungling when Rammus commits to ganking.
Fight for first Scuttle only if nearby lanes can move first to leverage ranged kiting against Rammus's melee engage.
Use vision to track Rammus's three or four camp path and counter-gank his early pressure before he can punish overextended carries.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights pre-level 6 where Rammus can engage with (Q) and lock down with (E).
Be cautious contesting objectives without lane priority due to Rammus's high gank threat and taunt lockdown.
Low-health clears or forced smite fights near Rammus's likely position increase risk; prioritize vision and safe pathing.

Early game

Start on your strong side to secure marks and maintain tempo before Rammus can reach level 3 gank power.
Contest first Scuttle when your lanes have priority to deny Rammus river control and early objective vision.
Avoid fighting Rammus early without lane support since his (Q) engage and (E) taunt create dangerous gank windows.

Power spikes

Kindred spikes at marks and item breakpoints; use these to pressure camps and contest objectives aggressively.
Respect Rammus's early gank power from (Q) and (E) before level 6, avoiding isolated river fights.
Kindred's (R) fight reset enables extended objective control; leverage this against Rammus's lower objective speed.

Win conditions

Convert lane priority into securing marks and controlling river vision to deny Rammus's gank setups.
Use ranged dueling and mobility to kite Rammus in river fights and force him out before objectives.
Scale into late game by leveraging marks and (R) for objective DPS and teamfight presence, denying Rammus effective lockdown on carries.
