(Patch 14.19: Still true) You really have NO hope of killing this guy as it stands in Patch 11.22. He can’t really kill you without jungle pressure but he’s just got a way overloaded kit with shields + movespeed + weird half-of-the-lane dash, a real 200-years champion right here.

I would take Teleport and look to TP when he roams. It should be pretty obvious where he’s roaming to, but you can also take Ignite and try to kill him in River. He’ll probably shove you in so if your Jungler has some sort of CC, you can probably lock him down and burst him. He’s weak-ish without his E so you can sort of fight him then if you land your Electro-Harpoons. I would take Electrocute here and just look for skirmishes and roams since killing him is pretty difficult.

Pretty strong synergy with Rumble, able to knock people into or keep them inside the Equalizer, also really good gank setup for roaming to bot lane.

About the Author (Nahde)

Hi, I'm Nahde, a Diamond+ player in seasons 5, 6, 7, 13, 14 and 15 across multiple accounts; I've played since Season 3 release, coached for 3.5 years, and was a player and coach in the 2016 High School Starleague where we went 7-3 W/L. I fell in love with this champion in Season 5 after spending several seasons anywhere from very low bronze to mid gold

I played about 30 normal games on Rumble and jumped straight into ranked and was diamond within two months with a 70% winrate on and , and again in Season 6 on , , , , , and . I previously had a featured guide with 350k+ views up on Lolking that I had posted on August 25th, 2016 but since that site has gone down, I've reuploaded it here and have been continuously updating it ever since. The top portion of the guide goes over everything you need if you found this guide in your loading screen, but for those of you who want to really master this champion-- the rest of this guide is for you.

State of Rumble - S2024 Patch 14.19 (B)

After 14.18 we were in a really rough spot, I still think we're not nearly as strong as before but the item changes in Patch 14.19 will end up being really good for us. lost 20 AP, but and didn't get tapped very hard and I think they're really strong items currently. is also an insanely strong damage rune when we're able to proc it.

I think that E Max and full tank are probably dead, but I'll continue to update the guide with anything new I find. E Max ends up only being about ~40 more damage in our burst on average, but a full glass cannon version of Rumble and an AP Bruiser version with & seem more than viable so far.

We lost about 95 damage rank 1 so our early game feels really awful, our late game also isn't stellar so our playstyle should revolve around really hammering mid-game to end games ASAP and collect LP. Phreak did mention that he believes a juggernaut Rumble is "very workable" which I've been hopeful for almost 5 years now, so I'm praying that happens. Rumble is fundamentally toxic to the game unless his numbers just suck and he has been for as long as I can remember. Also, almost more importantly, as much as it sucks for all of us who main him, he's not popular. When people find your champ boring to play and not fun to play against, it's probably time for a change and Riot has an excellent track record of reworking champions for the past 5-6 years, I think Skarner has been their only "bad" rework in recent memory, and even that was okay.

"I do believe that a more stretched out Rumble, that is more of a juggernaut, is a very workable version of this champion" - Phreak (Source, 22:40)

I also advocated for Rumble gaining Attack Speed in his passive long ago when he would weakly throw out 0.75 attack speed autos during overheat and I've always felt that a tankier/juggernaut Rumble would be more fun for the player and potentially introduce cool new mechanics without changing the champions thematics too much, so I'm hopeful that Riot will refresh the champion in a fun and interesting way at some point in the future.

That being said, Rumble IS playable, he's just more of a mid-game threat now that falls off very hard late and has an abusable early game. Mid lane will probably be his best lane, and his jungle feels VERY weak. Keep checking back as I'll update the guide immediately with any findings on builds or playstyles.

Summoner Spells

SUMMONER SPELLS
-

FLASH: is your survival, aggression, repositioning, and playmaking spell. You will take this in every game no exceptions.

IGNITE: is our 'default' combat summoner, it provides kill pressure and spot heal-cut for champs like or .

TELEPORT: is strong when we are scaling for mid-game and/or killing our opponent will be very difficult. It's mostly taken top lane, but could see use in mid. I strongly recommend if our jungler has strong ganks and CC, or we can roam; Otherwise CS and not falling behind become very important so we take Teleport instead.

EXHAUST: is strong vs auto attack champions like , , or champions with very telegraphed bursts like . Rumble falls over to these champs so slamming on them in fights works really well and buys you time for the team to help you kill them.

GHOST: is not going to be used very often, but in a hypothetical scenario where you need movement speed, you're not the only frontline, and you can't build an item like or for Movement Speed, this could be taken. It's worth noting as every item or spell has its uses and you'll get better at finding them the more you play and learn.

SMITE: You'll typically take either if they have tanky frontline or if you're the only frontline you have or you want to buy time for and/or to stack. is good if the above conditions aren't met as you get a lot of mobility around the map and in chokepoints where can really excel.

The remaining Summoner Spells aren't worth taking at any point ever.

Rune Pages

This page aims to give most combat stats possible which is what really wants.

You could swap Scorch to Gathering Storm if you're playing for mid-late game and you won't get good use out of Scorch in lane, or just prefer the 24 AP at 20 minutes.

Nullifying Orb can be taken vs AP Laner + Jungler if you prefer

Transcendence is nice because it helps us hit the 50 Ability Haste breakpoint that puts our abilities on a 4s CD (matches Overheat) but Absolute Focus feels really bad to give up usually.

Swap Bone Plating to Second Wind against poke

Swap Overgrowth to Unflinching if you're against lots of CC.

Secondary Pages

Domination can be taken as a viable alternative especially for Solo Queue, Taste of Blood is extremely good and Ultimate Hunter puts our The Equalizer on a really nice timer for SoloQ.

You could swap Arcane Comet to Phase Rush in extremely niche circumstances where you understand exactly when and why it's useful.

This is the page to take if teamfights are going to last a long time or if you really need frontline. Really powerful with and , allowing you to heal and do even more damage. I often take the Scaling Health shard when I run this setup, if I'm Jungle or my matchup allows it.

Absorb Life is genuinely a good rune, it can help smooth out your laning phase if you need it, granting the equivalent of a health potion every few waves in the mid-game if you get to last hit and more combat effectiveness than Triumph would give.

Legend: Haste could be an option, CDR isn't an awful stat on Rumble and I would genuinely take this if there's not many champions you'll get to auto attack. If the enemy team has champions you can hit with autos for the full duration of your overheat, just take the attack speed instead.

Swap Conditioning to Second Wind if you think you're really gonna get beaten down in lane, but I would caution that this situation, at least for me, is fairly rare and Conditioning will feel a lot better for our 2-3 item spike.

Cut Down seems to bring the most value given the numbers, especially vs tankier champions. This tier really seems to depend on the game, for lane I generally say take Cut Down but for Jungle I would generally take Coup de Grace to help secure kills since you'll generally be 2v1/2v2. Last Stand is also high value, especially if you're vs a Kindred. Ultimately, they're all generally good, pick whichever feels the best. Champion & Item choices affect this the most.

Secondary Pages

Sorcery can be taken if you're going Liandry's Torment and Riftmaker into damage instead of tank; taking Transcendence or Absolute Focus and Gathering Storm to better play for our spike and scale really hard into later game fights. Health from Liandry+RM combo make up for losing a bit in the Resolve tree.

This is a riskier page that does the same thing as the first one except our goal here is to accelerate our build and generate lots of economy. Getting items faster means we hit our really hard powerspikes of and even faster. This page is especially strong vs very easy lanes and when you're buying expensive items to crank out 's and generate tons of gold.

If you're Jungle, swap Taste of Blood for Cheap Shot

Cosmic Insight is just the general best rune for SoloQ, but Approach Velocity really isn't bad either, it's just that you probably don't need it in the circumstances that you're taking this page in the first place. Jack of all Trades could be somewhat useful for starting like, Doran's Blade into Sorcerer's Shoes for the immediate +10 Adaptive Force and Ability Haste early, but I don't think it's actually good.

Ultimate Hunter can be swapped for any of the other hunter runes, Treasure Hunter is really strong with this page (and in general) but might feel bad for a bit if you're top lane. However, it can help you catch up if you get behind or further snowball off of one teamfight.

Secondary Pages

Sorcery can be taken for Absolute Focus and Scorch or Gathering Storm which really accelerates your burst and I would take this instead of Domination in incredibly easy, basically AFK lanes or if I'm jungling.

You can take any of the "Hunter" runes, but Ultimate Hunter helps us get more gold and drop Equalizers around the map like a ****ing dump truck.

This page is best when you have a strong 2v2/3v3 but you don't have a lot of kill potential in a neutral lane state; it excels when your jungler has CC because it allows you to burst your laner and you don't 'lose' damage by not continually proccing . You also deal good damage in roams or vs squishy/ranged targets. This is also fine if you have no other options and aren't going tank.

Hunter Runes are completely preference, Treasure Hunter is a good snowball AND Insurance policy while Ultimate Hunter lets you drop The Equalizer like crazy.

Ghost Poro > Eyeball Collection unless you're smurfing, just to guarantee you get the stacks in a timely manner. Don't take Ghost Poro if you're swapping to Oracle Lens

Swap Bone Plating for Second Wind if you're vs a heavy poke lane.

Swap Overgrowth can be swapped to Unflinching vs lots of CC or Demolish if you can shove your laner out often.

Secondary Pages

Sorcery can be taken if you don't need the survivability for lane, taking Absolute Focus and Gathering Storm for better burst and scaling later, but if you're playing for early game burst, the additional stats from the Resolve tree make more sense.

Rune Shards

	Almost all builds will take double Adaptive Force, more AP = more damage. The one exception is when you're vs a lot of tanks and will be auto attacking a lot later, then you could take Attack Speed in slot 1 to capitalize on the % health damage on Junkyard Titan. You could also take it jungle, that's just preference.
	The third slot is usually a choice between Flat Health for a stronger early game or Scaling Health if we won't have too much trouble. Tenacity & Slow Resist could be taken if you really think you'll need it and don't want to sacrifice Sorcerer's Shoes for Mercury's Treads. I don't think there's ever a situation where we go Movement Speed.

Itemization

HEXTECH ROCKETBELT

LIANDRY'S TORMENT

Hands down this item is worse than Liandry's, it will never do as much damage even in the best case scenarios. However, the one thing it has going for it is that it allows us to gap-close and make plays we otherwise couldn't. It is pretty close in damage to Liandry's early on, but it's real value is closing the gap against champions that would otherwise be really difficult for us to get to, allowing us to win some lanes we traditionally can't.

is absolutely our best item, it gets very minorly outdamaged by Shadowflame as a first item but Liandry's gives us better poke, waveclear, and health to survive fights, so generally it's our best item, we can then follow it up with for maximum damage.

Liandry's Torment

Shadowflame

Rabadon's Deathcap

These are your typical core items, giving you tons of power and all the stats that wants early on. These three items give you the most damage out of any of your other options. Don't be afraid to deviate from this when the game calls for it-- if you're playing against , , and , buying a and trying to just burn through those champions isn't going to do you much good. This is just your the baseline that you should aim for, but after , buy for the game and situation.

Boot Options

Offensive Options

Defensive Options

is an item made for , it gives us all the stats we care about. It helps us survive, gives us ramping damage, makes our poke hit harder, and helps us deal with beefy champions in lane. It's really good in skirmishes and is only outdamaged by as a first item. Both and are nice recipe items, but you'll generally want first if you don't need the health and can poke. You want to have this item before big teamfights or skirmishes if possible..

this item is a stupidly good, it causes passive to crit, all of your abilities to crit, gives us MPen, and deals more damage than any other item against tanks and squishy targets (In 1v1). This + are our two biggest damage items, so in games where it's possible to do so, pick this up first or second.

is just our `multiplier` item, it's the item we get when we want the BIG damage. You should try to get this third, but only if you don't need something else to survive, some games you absolutely need or in order to function-- remember, you're not dealing damage if you're dead or if the enemy just has 8 billion Magic Resist.

VOID STAFF

CRYPTBLOOM

is obviously the higher damage of the two items, albeit 150g more expensive and giving 10% more Magic Penetration and 20 more AP than the alternative. However, it's worth asking which item will create more value? Think about your games and how teamfights will go; do you really need to nuke someone like or is the enemy really AoE heavy and you'll get immense value from a 5-man Cryptbloom heal?

is likely our default option as we can purchase it sooner and it's heal is most often going to be very effective. The heal we get from the passive will, in nearly all situations, outheal the damage we would have done with 10% more pen and 10 AP.

's biggest downfall is that it's not . I think this item has some interesting applications in games where teamfights will last a long time and we can take and and look to scale with + into tankier items like and . This item is really nice, most often we just run into an issue of "I want more damage" so we opt for things like instead.

is slightly behind in terms of raw 1v1 damage, it definitely gets outdamaged in teamfights. It's much cheaper than though, so it's worth looking into for games where you really need to gap-close or the utility from allows you to do things you normally can't. does not proc but it can act as an auto attack reset.

is an awful item after the repeated nerfs. It's one of the lowest damage first items for us because the values on the item just suck. Movement Speed is a stat that has the potential to be the best stat in the game, scaling with a players skill level, but this is definitely not an item you want to build early, if at all. Think of your items in terms of the power in their slot, there's just too many items that do more or are more effective than the current patches iteration of and the item is hilariously over-bought.

is an awful item, if you are the only person on your team that can effectively use heal-cut items, you should look to sit on and do not complete the item. You pay 1,400g for 60 AP and 15 Ability Haste, this means you can effectively "complete the item" by just building into whatever other items you want instead of wasting gold buying .

is just a lot weaker than other items we could get, it grants you a stupid amount of movement speed and is really good for champions that want to suffocate the enemy with movespeed and ability spam, isn't really like that. I list it here because there might be very very niche situations where the item becomes good, so keep it in mind but just know you could play 500 games and probably never build it.

is mostly an enchanter item, or an item for mages that want to spam abilities. However, is a weird champion and this item actually fits kinda nicely as a 4th or 5th item. We really like Ability Haste until we hit 50 so we have a 4s CD on Q, W, & E, and the % damage modifier makes all of our high base damage abilities really slap, it's also incredibly easy for us to proc and has nice component items. This can be a good item to build when your core items are complete and you just need more raw damage. It can also be effective when you're trying to pick someone in the jungle since it sends out AoE vision.

is also a really rare item, I build this incredibly rarely against entire teams of champions like , , , etc. It's most often used defensively where you need to peel your backline from "Bruizer Zerg" champions who try to run at you with very few gap closers. You'd build this third and only if your backline is strong or scaling heavily, otherwise you're peeling just to lose slower.

does what it always does, you can cast during it and can help you survive in teamfights if there's big abilities you need to dodge. This can be built second or third and should not be skipped if you think you need it, being greedy could lose you games.

has gold efficiency issues, a lot of the time it's going to be best to just sit on to get the spellshield passive and some Magic Resist for 1800g. This runs into the same problems as where you "complete the item" by just building other things.

is a really good item when fights are going to last awhile and you don't need . This is especially strong if you have because healing (and shields) makes resistances even stronger. The item is almost gold efficient with stats alone, one proc will get you about ~600-750 health, making this item easily gold efficient. Absolutely a strong item if you'll get 2+ procs in a fight on multiple enemies.

is really undervalued, it's incredibly strong when you both need MR and have multiple sources of Magic Damage on your team that can benefit from you having it. I like to pair this with in our Resolve tree when I know I'll be building it so I'll be tanky while also dealing damage, since MPen is a massively strong stat for us. This usually gets built third or fourth as you need 1366 bonus health to reach the cap.

is the anti-crit marksmen item. Incredibly strong vs crit stacking champions and the best armor item in the game. You reduce an absolutely absurd amount of damage with this and if you're against multiple crit abusers, slam this item ASAP.

can be really powerful in the right situations, getting them early in lane makes you impossible to deal with and can be really good versus champions like or where they just want to run at you and beat you down, this helps you harass and butter them up for an all-in.

are incredibly powerful, make sure if you're versus lots of auto-attackers that you but this item. It feels bad to lose out on Magic Penetration, but if these let you survive long enough to cast 1-2 more spells, you've effectively done more damage than would help you do. Make sure you check the wiki to see what else they can block.

are probably what I build the least, but in games where you absolutely need them to do anything in teamfights against things like or , you should pick them up. They can also be really good as an early lane purchase against those champions to make sure you can continue your snowball.

General Macro & Game Plan

Early Game

✦ Early Game
excels at early invades and counter-invades at level 1 using , but generally has a very weak level 1-2 and you should look to stay as safe as possible, fishing for poke and safely CSing with or , it's okay to lose out on some creeps to stay healthy for levels 3-4 when you get really strong.

Mid Game

✦ Mid Game
's play pattern is generally the same, butter people up with and 's until they're in range to kill. You should save to use for kills when it will also earn you an objective or something other than a kill due to how valuable is.

Late Game

✦ Late Game
Late game gets awkward, lacks a lot of tools to really keep a hold on the game like we get from minutes ~5-25. It's important to correctly identify your wincon for teamfights. Do you need to protect your backline? Do you need to try and assassinate someone? Think about how your team needs to play a fight in order to win and do your best to execute that.

General Macro Plan

Before the Game
Which side Scuttle Crab is Jungle playing for? What path is Jungle taking? Call summoner spell timers, laners should set lane up for that side - if lane cannot get prio for crab contest notify the Jungler early so they can adjust pathing if required.

Identify what both comps want to do
Does either team fight better in choke points? Does either team prefer fighting front-to-back? What about 1-3-1 split pushes? Flanks?

Determine who has level 1 prio
Decide and communicate how to invade or if you should 5-point-defense.

Figure out your game plan
Are you going to try and farm to scale? Do you want to look for early skirmishes because you have a strong mid/jungle duo? Are you only going to be fighting on certain powerspikes?

In-Game
Recalling = What do you gain from recall? What is the map state? Your base vs enemy base? Do you want to extend laning phase?

Where is the Enemy Jungler Starting?
How should you manage your wave and ward because of it? How does the enemy jungler gank? You can usually tell where he started by checking who got to lane late.

If there's something to contest, start with lane prio and move into river/jg for vision
If waves get cleared at the same time, both teams can move. If no prio, you get collapsed on and ff objective.

Laning
Communicate the state of your lane to the jungler, slowpush and low hp enemy = can we dive? Ask for help if you need to crash a wave to bounce it back or recall. For jungle to help a vulnerable lane (weaker matchup), ideally get mid prio and move through river into the lane; avoid being collapsed on. If the weaker matchup is mid, support moves with Jungle after reset. You cannot just gank lanes that are weak without planning.

Macro Continued
If your team is making a play botside, respect that they can crossmap. Make mental notes of who's doing what, (I.E. "I see my jung is bot, mid is walking into river." etc.) Always take into account enemies tps/globals/prio in lanes before committing to fights. Position yourself while laning to the side your jungler is on, ward the side your jungler is not on (usually). Deep ward lanes if waves are slowpushing to you, cover yourself from lane ganks (bot lane mainly).

Mid-Game
Whoever can get and hold mid prio goes mid, this is usually the ADC but does it really well. Support will roam and whoever can hold prio goes mid; Jungler can hover mid and sidelaner or look to take objectives after getting mid prio. If you have a weak/tank top that doesn't win, they look to collect waves/camps and team plays on opposite side of map. If they have a dive comp that can take mid prio, secure sides with vision and use pressure generated to roam between the lanes so sidelaner can reach mid in time if needed, jungler must play closer to mid lane also. If both solo lanes lose side matchups, look to overload and send both solo laners to one lane to create a 2v1 scenario.

Objectives
Plan ahead of time, call for resets ~1m before spawn time. Discuss if you will turn and fight or not.

Baron & Dragon
Supports should not be hitting the objective, look to zone/flank to allow for a turn if comp allows. After successful obj fight the play is over, take the lead and use it. Aim for collective recalls/safe farming of neutral camps/crashing waves and then get back on the map at the same time to keep up tempo. If the enemy team has prio and you have no vision control for objectives or lower numbers, push mid and push out sidewaves then base. You get tempo adv. Gold adv. And they cannot shove you in with baron minions etc.

If You are Behind as a Team
Mid prio + vision control so you can make picks, when you get a pick, don’t look to push it blindly, play smart and capitalize by getting prio in lanes with number advantage and set up deeper vision, can’t afford to take risks. Invest in ward trinkets and pinks to provide defensive vision control, you can use blue trinkets 2-3 times between obj spawns, place in defensive spots. Vision line in front, pinks behind so you can adequately defend them.

If You are Ahead as a Team
Mid prio + vision control on the side of the map you are playing to + re-establish mid prio so you can push safely as a team NOBODY should be left alone mid to maintain prio. Look to defend vision if they contest, invest in sweepers and pinks to deny vision control. Slow down the pace of the game, choke the enemy, you don't need to get more ahead but you must not fall behind.

Every move you make in the game should have a reason. Whenever you can get prio, don’t waste it, stack the wave and crash it, if opposition cannot move - get vision, move to drake/herald/mid or recall and get back on the map before enemy laner can respond. Use every lead you get.

Level Up My Gameplay

Bot Lane Rumble

I think bot lane has a lot of benefits. Not only does it allow you to shut down the enemy bot if you play well, but you have twice as much gold to earn from kills :) You can also impact the map a lot more. Having a support shores up Rumbles only real weakness which is not being able to get on top of your laner. Play safely the first few levels, you're very strong and can 2v2 almost anyone with a good support/adc after level 3.

Summoner Spells: Flash & Ghost
You don't really have a use for Heal or any other defensive summoner, since you're only getting 55% of normal experience you're going to be behind in levels from where you would be normally, so we want to try and abuse the strength of our champion prior to lane phase ending. Teleport could be useful, but I've found that either Ghost or Exhaust if needed for the game and your support can't take it.

Synergies
As a general rule, AP Carry Supports > Tanky/Engage > Enchanters What you're really looking for is something that lets you kill the enemy bot. Engage is nice because you can force fights easier, but your dream support is an AP engage champion. Having an enchanter is okay too-- it just puts the onus on you to make the plays which can be rough. The goal is to have a kill lane, you don't want to pair a scaling support like Sona with Rumble.

The most important trait for continuous improvement in League of Legends is to stay curious. If you've ever found yourself saying "I don't know what X ability/champion does", did you look it up once you got the chance? Were you ever curious about how an interaction in the game might work but didn't google it or ask around? It seems small, but staying curious and following up on those thoughts you have are how you improve at anything, especially LoL.

If you have any questions that you would like answered, be sure to reply with a comment and I will respond or edit your suggestion into the guide! I would like to thank my old friend Hunger x Hunger (Interview), one of the first people to inspire me to play Rumble and my good friend Leo "Lyze" Zhang for giving some suggestions and helping me learn the game since I was Bronze V. Lastly I'd like to thank everyone who reads this, I sincerely hope this guide was informative and will inspire a new generation of Rumble Gods. Remember that this guide is a starting point, it's not perfect and the game will always be changing, use this knowledge and build on it to be even better. Good luck!

Whether you're Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum-- Diamond and beyond is within your grasp. Be a Champion and push it 'till the limit breaks.
