Rammus vs Viego

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Use Rammus's strong gank threat with (Q) and (E) to punish Viego's moderate early pressure and avoid extended duels.
Prioritize pathing toward overextended AD-heavy lanes and avoid full clears against Viego's medium clear speed and dueling power.
Focus on anti-AD scaling and teamfight lockdown to outscale Viego's reset-based skirmishing style.

Jungle Plan

Use cross-map ganks on overextended lanes where (Q) and (E) can lock down Viego's immobile carries.
Avoid direct fights with Viego early unless lanes can collapse quickly; track his pathing to counter-gank effectively.
Prioritize dragon control after early gank pressure to leverage Rammus's scaling and deny Viego reset opportunities.

Danger windows

Beware early river fights around first Scuttle where (E) camouflage and (W) stun can set up resets.
Avoid low-health jungle clears that invite Viego to duel and capitalize on Rammus's lower invade resistance.
Be cautious contesting objectives without lane priority to prevent Viego from snowballing resets in teamfights.

Early game

Start with a three- or four-camp clear aimed at lanes pushed or vulnerable to ganks to maximize early pressure.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to avoid risky isolated fights against Viego's medium invade resistance.
Ward defensively against early invades from Viego, especially before armor and taunt value ramp up.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) knockup to initiate ganks and disrupt Viego before he can reset.
Exploit Rammus's armor and taunt scaling to outlast Viego's physical damage in mid to late game teamfights.
Respect Viego's first fighter item spike and (R) reset potential by avoiding extended isolated fights without lane support.

Win conditions

Convert gank pressure into dragon and Rift Herald control to limit Viego's reset fights.
Use taunt and knockup crowd control to lock down Viego's carries in teamfights, enabling your team to burst him before resets.
Deny Viego free farm and reset chains by counter-jungling when lanes have priority and punishing his overextensions with fast (Q) engages.
