Poppy vs Rammus

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Use Poppy's superior early invade resistance and dueling power to contest river and deny Rammus early tempo.
Prioritize controlling terrain near river entrances to maximize (E) wall stuns and (W) dash denial against Rammus's engage.
This is a tempo and objective control matchup where Poppy must leverage anti-dash tools to disrupt Rammus's ganks and scaling.

Jungle Plan

Path for early three-camp into gank or invade focusing on lanes with terrain for reliable (E) wall stuns.
Fight for first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to collapse and secure river control.
Use (R) to disrupt Rammus during objective contests, especially dragon or Rift Herald fights, to deny his engage and smite attempts.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights before your first tank item when Rammus can outduel with (Q) and (E).
Beware of forced smite fights where Rammus's engage and knockup can disrupt your team and steal objectives.
Respect lane states where Rammus's nearby lanes have priority, increasing risk of counter-ganks or collapses if you invade.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear into early river Scuttle to contest vision and deny Rammus easy Scuttle control.
Avoid extended fights early unless near walls to guarantee (E) stun and (W) dash stop effectiveness.
Be ready to counter-invade when Rammus commits to slow clears, using terrain and (W) to punish his mobility reliance.

Power spikes

Level 6: Use (R) to isolate or disengage Rammus before objectives or skirmishes to reset fights in your favor.
First tank item spike: Hold (W) for Rammus's (Q) engage and fight near walls to maximize your dueling advantage.
Respect Rammus's early (Q) rolling engage and (E) taunt as his main threat windows to avoid getting locked down.

Win conditions

Convert early terrain control and (E)/(W) anti-dash pressure into successful counter-jungling and objective steals.
Use (R) to disengage or isolate Rammus during dragon or Rift Herald fights, denying him teamfight impact.
Maintain river vision and track Rammus's pathing to counter-gank his high-mobility ganks and snowball your lanes.
