Rammus vs Master Yi

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Rammus should leverage his early gank threat and taunt CC to punish Master Yi's weak early pressure and slow clear speed advantage.
Prioritize invading or counter-invading camps near overextended AD-heavy lanes to disrupt Master Yi's farming and delay his scaling.

Jungle Plan

Path aggressively toward camps near pushed lanes to enable fast ganks and force Master Yi off his jungle.
Invade Master Yi when he shows on the opposite side or after he uses key cooldowns, focusing on denying his farm and forcing resets.
Prioritize early dragon control with lane priority to prevent Master Yi from safely scaling through objectives.

Danger windows

Beware early invade windows where Master Yi can use (Q) to dodge CC and (W) to reduce damage, especially if lanes cannot assist.
Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 when Master Yi's reset potential is low but his mobility and sustain can still punish mistakes.
Be cautious contesting objectives if Master Yi has vision and can enter after your CC is down to start reset chains.

Early game

Start with a three- or four-camp clear aimed at lanes with priority to set up early ganks using (Q) for fast engages.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority and can assist to avoid being countered by Master Yi's faster clear.
Avoid prolonged river fights early since (W) damage reduction and (Q) untargetability make him hard to punish without lane support.

Power spikes

Rammus spikes with (Q) and (E) early for strong ganks; use these to force Master Yi off camps before he hits level 6.
Respect Master Yi's level 6 (R) spike that enables reset fights; avoid engaging first and wait for CC commitment.
Keep tempo high to deny Master Yi his first item spike that boosts his sustained damage and objective control.

Win conditions

Use fast cross-map ganks with (Q) and (E) to punish Master Yi's slower early clear and deny him jungle tempo.
Control river vision and secure early Scuttle and dragons with lane priority to limit Master Yi's scaling opportunities.
Leverage Rammus's anti-AD scaling and taunt lockdown in teamfights to neutralize Master Yi's reset potential and carry threat.
