Rammus vs Kayn

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Prioritize early ganks using (Q) and (E) to punish Kayn before he completes form transformation.
Avoid extended farming races; focus on disrupting Kayn's form progress and camp tempo.
This is a scaling vs scaling jungle matchup where Rammus must leverage early pressure and anti-AD scaling to control objectives and teamfights.

Jungle Plan

Path toward overextended AD-heavy lanes for early ganks using (Q) speed and (E) taunt to lock down targets.
Fight for river control and Scuttle when allied lanes can pressure to deny Kayn safe form progression.
Counter-jungle Kayn when he commits to full clears away from walls, leveraging slower clear speed and lower invade resistance.

Danger windows

Avoid river fights and invades before level 6 when Kayn's mobility and wall-walk allow easy escapes and counter-ganks.
Beware forced smite fights early as Kayn's faster clear speed can outpace Rammus.
Watch for Kayn's post-transformation roaming and gank angles that can isolate Rammus or his lanes.

Early game

Start with a three or four-camp clear aimed at lanes showing overextension to enable early ganks.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to support river fights.
Ward defensively against Kayn's fast clear and wall-path mobility to avoid early counter-invades.

Power spikes

Rammus spikes early with (Q) and (E) for ganks before Kayn's form transformation; use this to force Kayn off camps.
Kayn's major spike is after form transformation; respect his increased mobility and damage by avoiding isolated fights.
Rammus's scaling armor and taunt become game-changing against Kayn's physical damage in mid to late game teamfights.

Win conditions

Convert early gank pressure into dragon and Rift Herald control by coordinating with lanes holding priority.
Use taunt lockdown and armor scaling in teamfights to neutralize Kayn's carry potential.
Deny Kayn's form progress and camps through timely counter-jungling and river vision control to delay his mid-game power spike.
