Champions Rammus beats
- Bel'Vethjungle
Spiked Shell passive thorns and Defensive Ball Curl (W) attack-speed slow punish Bel'Veth's sustained auto-attacks — she damages herself trying to DPS him. Frenzying Taunt (E) locks her into the thorns and Soaring Slam (R) holds objective control.
- Briarjungle
Defensive Ball Curl (W) reflects Frenzy auto-attack damage back at her, and Frenzying Taunt (E) point-click locks Blood Frenzy (W) onto him. Powerball (Q) engage outpaces Head Rush (Q) and Briar damages herself before sustain resets.
- Gragasjungle
Defensive Ball Curl (W) reflects Gragas magic damage back at him during the Body Slam (E) stun window; Soaring Slam (R) disrupts the Explosive Cask (R) flip angle setup. Powerball (Q) knockup pre-engages before Gragas reaches W active stacks.
- Hecarimjungle
Defensive Ball Curl (W) reflects Hecarim auto-attack damage during the Devastating Charge (E) sticking window, and Frenzying Taunt (E) locks him out of carry chase. Powerball (Q) speed matches Warpath (P) scaling for a head-on collision Hecarim loses.
- Kaynjungle
Frenzying Taunt (E) catches Kayn out of Shadow Step (E) and locks him in melee while Defensive Ball Curl (W) reflects Reaping Slash (Q) damage back. Powerball (Q) engage and Soaring Slam (R) AOE knockup cancel Umbral Trespass (R) channel mid-cast.
- Master Yijungle
Defensive Ball Curl (W) reflects a chunk of Master Yi's auto-attack damage back at him and Spiked Shell (P) on-hit return scales with his armor. Frenzying Taunt (E) forces Yi to attack into Defensive Ball Curl (W) and Soaring Slam (R) knock-up interrupts Highlander (R) reset.
- Nidaleejungle
Frenzying Taunt (E) point-click taunt chains through Nidalee's cougar form which has zero CC and cancels Aspect of the Cougar (R) mid-toggle. Defensive Ball Curl (W) reflects cougar Takedown (Q) damage back and Powerball (Q) charge knock-up chains the lock.
- Nocturnejungle
Rammus's Defensive Ball Curl reflects auto-attack damage and his Spiked Shell scales reflect damage with armor, punishing Hail of Blades' rapid auto chain directly back into Nocturne.
- Shacojungle
Powerball (Q) closes the gap on Shaco fast and Frenzying Taunt (E) cancels his auto-attack window during Backstab — the taunt forces him to walk towards Rammus instead of circling behind. Defensive Ball Curl (W) reflects Shaco's empowered crit damage back onto him.
- Talonjungle
Rammus's Defensive Ball Curl W reflects Noxian Diplomacy Q's leap-crit physical damage back at Talon, and Spiked Shell passive auto-returns damage every basic. Soaring Slam R interrupts Shadow Assault R invisibility on landing,
- Tryndameretop
Frenzying Taunt forces Tryndamere to basic-attack into Defensive Ball Curl reflect, and Bloodlust-stacked crit autos feed the magic-damage reflect at double rate. Spinning Slash dash repositions him but does not break the taunt,
- Udyrjungle
Frenzying Taunt forces Udyr to basic-attack into Defensive Ball Curl reflect, and Wilding Claw on-hit auto procs feed the magic-damage reflect every swing. Iron Mantle shield cannot absorb his own reflected damage,
- Viegojungle
Frenzying Taunt forces Viego to basic-attack into Defensive Ball Curl reflect, and Sovereign's Domination passive auto procs plus Blade of the Ruined King passive on-hits feed the magic-damage reflect every swing.
