Rammus vs Shyvana

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Rammus must leverage his early gank threat and taunt CC to punish Shyvana's slower early jungle pressure and deny her free farm.
Prioritize avoiding extended early river fights where Shyvana's fast clear and dragon form spike can overwhelm Rammus.

Jungle Plan

Path for early ganks on overextended AD-heavy lanes to capitalize on (Q) speed and (E) taunt lockdown.
Use cross-map ganks and counter-ganks to exploit Shyvana's weaker pre-6 gank threat and slower clear speed.
Prioritize river control and vision around dragon to deny Shyvana's objective setup and scaling advantage.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 where Shyvana's mobility and (R) displacement can outmaneuver Rammus.
Be cautious contesting dragon early without lane priority or vision control, as Shyvana excels in objective fights.
Watch for Shyvana's fast clears that can lead to counter-invades when Rammus is low on health or cooldowns.

Early game

Start with a three or four camp clear targeting lanes with priority to set up early ganks using (Q) and (E).
Contest the first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to support and prevent Shyvana from securing early dragon control.
Avoid direct early invades unless Shyvana is tracked on the opposite side of the map and a lane is overextended.

Power spikes

Rammus spikes on early gank attempts with (Q) and (E); use these to force Shyvana off camps and lanes before her dragon form.
Respect Shyvana's mid-game spike when she gains dragon form and item power; avoid isolated fights during this window.
Rammus's late-game armor and taunt scaling become crucial to lockdown and peel for carries against Shyvana's mixed damage.

Win conditions

Convert early gank pressure into denied farm and lane priority to set up safe dragon control and objective trades.
Use Rammus's taunt and engage to lock down key AD carries in mid to late game teamfights, leveraging anti-AD scaling.
Maintain river vision and track Shyvana's pathing to counter-jungle and force her into unfavorable fights, delaying her scaling.
