Rumble’s Advantages are that he can easily push in lanes to provide lane pressure and great roaming ganks. He is a great team fight champion, he has great engage and peel with the use of a good

Rumbles Disadvantages are that he has poor mobility so susceptible to early ganks. You want to be pushing lane a lot so this puts you in a rocky situation if you’re not aware of where the enemy jungle is. Last hitting on rumble may take a while to get use to with the use of Q. Overheating on

PROS: -High sustained damage. -Non-mana User[ color] -Great lane pressure and kill potential[ color] -Great team fights[ color] -Can easily push lane and roam for map pressure[ color] |
CONS: -Slow Movement speed, easily kited -Hard to last hit if not used to his Q Poor Mobility Passive ![]() |









See 2nd tress details below

Domination






Resolve
Resolve can be taken as the 2nd rune tree vs lane bullies/ poke heavy champs.





Domination –Dark Harvest +Inspiration
As of patch 8.23 this is my go to rune page in 9/10 matchups. Dark Harvest synergises so well with rumbles kit. The Domination tree has a lot of flexibility to your play style as well.








For your 2nd runes, I pick between the Inspiration tree and resolved. You can see the resolve options above and when/ why I take them.



Summoner Spells
![]() |
![]() |
|
![]() |
![]() | Junkyard Titan (Passive): Its very important to manage your heat, being above 50 heat gives you 50% more damage on your Q and E, it also empowers your shield. Be very mindful of your current heat as overheating during a team fight can make or break the fight for you. |
![]() |
Flamespitter (Q): AKA flame thrower. This is a coned AOE ability scaling with AP. This is you main bullying/zoning tool in lane. This should almost always be maxed first. Also great to shove in your waves fast and roam to apply map pressure |
![]() |
scrap shield (W): This is your only defensive/ mobility skill. Use this to engage with ![]() |
![]() |
Electro-harpoon (E):This is a ranged poke tool. It almost provides a stackable slow which provides a great engage/kite tool. You are able to take advantage of ![]() |
![]() |
The Equalizer (R): This in my opinion one of the best team fighting ultimate’s in the game. This may take some practice getting used to how to place so be sure to try it in the practice tool before going into game! It has extremely long range so you can engage a fight from far out or join a fight late and clean up. Placements of this skill will make or break the team fight. Wait for people’s mobility/ flashes to be used before placing if possible. Great for the skirmishes in the jungle/ confined places |
![]() |
DORANS'SHIELD: This is a great starting item on rumble and taken 9/10 match ups but dependant on your opponent. It is most effect vs ranged champions or poke heavy champions such as ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

![]() |
LIANDRY’S TORMENT: Rush this item asap unless they have a lot o healing rush ![]() |

![]() |
MORELLONOMICON: Since the rework this is a great AP item in general. If the enemy team has lots of healing (![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |


![]() |
ZHONYA’S HOURGLASS: ![]() |

![]() | VOID STAFF: If the enemy team is stacking MR this is by far the best item. However if they are not stacking much MR consider taking another item here. |

![]() | RABADON’S DEATHCAP: finalise your build with more damage. If the game ever lasts 5/6th item you will dish out so much damage once deathcap is complete. |

![]() |
RYLAI’S CRYSTAL SCEPTER: I still think this is one of the most cost efficient items in game however it is very situational. Great if you need to kite opponents also grants 100% up time on ![]() |
![]() | BANSHEE’S VEIL: Take this if the enemy has a lot of MR damage or long range poke/cc |
![]() | SHURELYA’S REVERIE: More for fun and if your ahead. Great for chasing down your opponents. |


Rumble can easily push in the lane and roam or just force pressure on the opponent under tower. Be very mindful when pushing in the wave as it makes you very easy to gank. Ensure you have the correct vision/ knowledge of enemy jungler before pushing the lane hard.
At level 6

Full Rumble Vs Vayne Game play. More to come!
Ward!
Objective control is key. Buy control wards on every return if you have the gold left over. (try to back with enough gold for item + pink) Not only does it help you out but your other lanes keep track of enemy players.
Pings
Ping for anything and everything. Set up your hotkeys so they're easy to use. If you have pinged for anything, ping it again after 20-30 seconds if things haven't changed. DO NOT SPAM PING unless it is urgent You won't be annoying your team, they'll be grateful of the information.
Don’t Flame
We have all been there and sometimes it is hard to resist. Own up for your own mistakes and if chat gets too much /mute all concentrate on your own game play. Try to stay positive in chat, you are not going to win the game by been abusive in game. That will only cause people to troll/ int even more.
Check the Map
I laughed at myself for even putting this here. I am a sucker for punishment and always forget to check the map before making a play/ engaging. This very easy to overlook but check the map every 20-30 seconds to see any missing players or any potential opportunities incoming. I actually started to use a ping sound alert every 10 seconds to remind me to check the map.
Know Your Capabilities!
Knowing your abilities is all well and good but knowing how they match up against each opponent can be tricky. Test the waters. Each time they come back from base with new items, just attempt another auto-attack or 2 to see how the damage is different. If unsure just farm safely and wait for ganks/ misplays
CS
I cannot stress enough how important knowing how to CS is. Practise daily and improve in a custom game. You want to be aiming to get 8cs per min each game. Do not be afraid to give up CS if it means you not taking a bad trade. Check stats tools to see where your weakest csing times are and try to improve.
Replays
If you really want to improve, watch your replays. Look at what YOU could of done better that game and look for your mistakes. Watch high elo players VODS of the match ups your unsure of learn from them.
CS challenge
A fun challenge for you to improve your cs/ wave manipulation. Go into a custom game and try to hit 100 CS without missing a single one
Rules:
- Do not use any abilities (Don’t skill them)
- Only buy starting items
- Do not go back/die
- Has to be in a custom game NOT practice tool
If you manage this let me know would love to see how many people manage to do this and if it helped them during games.
