Nidalee into Rammusmedium

Overview

Use Nidalee's faster clear and ranged poke to invade Rammus's slower jungle early.
Focus on early camp denial and river control to keep Rammus reactive.
Avoid extended fights where Rammus's taunt and engage overpower you.

Prioritize invading Rammus early to steal camps and exploit his slower clear speed.
Use traps and spears to control river entrances before contesting Dragon or Rift Herald.
Track Rammus's pathing to counter-gank his early ganks, especially on overextended AD-heavy lanes.

Beware Rammus's level 3-6 window when he can engage with rolling and taunt near pushed lanes.
Avoid isolated river fights without vision as Rammus's engage and knockups can collapse quickly.
Do not contest objectives without lane priority or health advantage to prevent forced smite fights favoring Rammus.

Clear to level 3 quickly and look to invade Rammus's jungle before his first full clear.
Contest the first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority and you can land spears to gain health advantage.
Avoid river fights if Rammus has lane priority or is near full health to prevent getting caught by engage.

Spike strongly at level 3 with fast clears and poke to invade and force Rammus off camps.
Respect Rammus's level 6 power spike when he gains and taunt for strong engages.
Use Nidalee's mobility and ranged poke advantage before Rammus builds armor and becomes tankier later.

Convert early camp steals and poke pressure into Dragon and Rift Herald control before Rammus scales.
Use Nidalee's mobility and spear range to counter-gank and punish Rammus's ganks on overextended lanes.
Deny Rammus free farm and force him into reactive play to delay his armor scaling and teamfight impact.
