Guide to Countering Elise as Rammus

Tips for Playing as Rammus against Elise

Powerball can be used as an effective escape mechanism.

Tremors and Defensive Ball Curl can be used late in the game to obliterate towers. If you're bogged down in a team fight, it is often valuable to break off and attack the buildings.

Using taunt on a champion by your tower can cause the tower to attack your enemy.

Advice to Win Against Elise

Rappel has a long cooldown. Elise is vulnerable after she has used it.

Elise's Spider Form is more dangerous when you are at low health, and her Human Form more potent when you are at high health.

Rappel will only move Elise straight up and down unless she can descend upon an enemy unit.
