Rammus vs Amumu

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Use Rammus's high mobility and taunt to punish Amumu's slower pathing and less aggressive early clears.
Prioritize ganking lanes with strong follow-up to capitalize on Rammus's early (Q) engage and (E) taunt crowd control.
Avoid extended early jungle fights; focus on tempo through targeted ganks and counter-ganks rather than full clears.

Jungle Plan

Path for early ganks on pushed or immobile lanes using (Q) to close distance and (E) to lock down targets before Amumu arrives.
Avoid direct river fights unless you have superior lane priority or numbers advantage, as Amumu's (Q) and (R) can turn grouped fights.
Use cross-map pressure and counter-jungle camps when Amumu commits to full clears or grouped objective setups to deny his scaling.

Danger windows

Avoid river skirmishes around level 3 when Amumu can surprise with (Q) engage and teammates can collapse.
Be cautious contesting dragon or Rift Herald if Amumu's team has lane priority or vision control, as his (R) secures objective fights.
Watch for low-health clears where Amumu can force smite fights; avoid committing without lane or vision advantage.

Early game

Start with a three or four-camp clear toward an overextended lane to set up early ganks before Amumu completes his full clear.
Contest first Scuttle Crab only if nearby lanes have priority to avoid risky river fights against Amumu's (Q) engage.
Ward defensively against Amumu's level 3 invade attempts and be ready to counter-gank if lanes can respond quickly.

Power spikes

Rammus's early (Q) and (E) combo creates strong gank threat; use it to force enemy summoners and gain lane priority.
Amumu becomes more dangerous post-level 6 with (R); respect his area lockdown by avoiding isolated fights and favoring counter-ganks.
Rammus's scaling into armor and taunt value outpaces Amumu's tankiness against AD-heavy teams; focus on early tempo to reach this advantage.

Win conditions

Convert early ganks and lane priority into dragon and Rift Herald control by coordinating with lanes before Amumu groups.
Use Rammus's mobility and taunt to isolate and lockdown key AD carries before Amumu can engage teamfights.
Deny Amumu free farm by invading camps when he commits to grouped objective plays and force him into unfavorable fights.
