Volibear vs Rammus

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Volibear's faster clear and strong early dueling to contest river and invade before Rammus reaches his armor and taunt scaling.
Prioritize early river control and force fights when your lanes have priority to snowball and deny Rammus free farm.

Jungle Plan

Path toward lanes with strong CC or dive follow-up to maximize gank threat and invade Rammus early when his clear speed is low.
Contest dragon and Void Grubs early to leverage your objective control and deny Rammus's scaling.
Track Rammus's gank routes and be ready to counter-gank using your (Q) stun and (E) shield to turn fights in your favor.

Danger windows

Respect Rammus's early (Q) rolling engage and (E) taunt combo when contesting river or isolated camps.
Avoid low-health clears to prevent forced smite fights where Rammus's gank threat is high.
Be cautious contesting objectives without lane priority, as Rammus can set up cross-map ganks with his mobility.

Early game

Start with a full clear to hit level 3 quickly, enabling early invades or counter-ganks against Rammus's slower clear.
Fight for first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to ensure follow-up on river skirmishes.
Avoid extended fights when Rammus approaches with (Q) rolling engage ready, especially before you reach level 3.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks your full combo with stun, shield, and healing, enabling strong early dueling and invade potential.
Level 6 grants (R) for tower dives and durable engages, pressuring Rammus under turret and forcing recalls.
First bruiser or tank item boosts sustain and durability, allowing you to win extended trades and maintain pressure.

Win conditions

Use your faster clear and early dueling to invade and deny Rammus camps before his scaling peaks.
Convert early lane priority into dragon and Rift Herald control to snowball your team advantage.
Leverage your level 6 (R) dive threat to force tower dives or secure kills, increasing map pressure and objective access.
