Hey guys! Welcome to my first guide, Solo Top Rumble Guide: Scrapyard Barbecue. This guide has been reformatted to make it look better. This guide will cover all you want to know about


Please read on and also, give me a thumbs-up if you find it great. Thanks! :)

Cons:
-Prone to ganks -Easy to over extend -Hard to last hit |
So guys, here's the point about




Regardless,

Being able to manage your passive is truly the difference between a good Rumble player and a great Rumble player. It seriously makes or breaks your skirmishes/teamfights, which is why it deserves its own chapter. Read on for the other abilities before moving on to the next chapter. To give a short description, 50 heat brings you into the "Danger Zone" which grants your abilities bonus stats, while hitting 100 heat gives you bonus attack damage but silences you.
Description:
HEAT: Rumble gains 20 / 10 Heat every time he uses a basic ability, and loses 10 Heat per second after 4 seconds of not using his abilities, increased to 20 Heat per second 2.5 seconds after.
DANGER ZONE: Rumble's basic abilities are enhanced at 50 Heat or above.
OVERHEATING: At 100 Heat, Rumble Silence icon silences himself for 6 seconds, which he cannot mitigate or cancel by any means, but his basic attacks each deal 25 - 110 (based on level) (+ 30% AP) bonus magic damage for the duration, during which his Heat also decays to 0.

Description:
ACTIVE: Rumble activates his flamethrower for 3 seconds, dealing magic damage every 0.25 seconds to all enemies in a cone in front of him.
DANGER ZONE: Flamespitter's damage is increased by 50%.







Description:
ACTIVE: Rumble shields himself for 2 seconds and grants himself bonus movement speed for 1 second.
DANGER ZONE: Scrap Shield's effects are increased by 50%.






Description:
ACTIVE: Rumble shoots a harpoon that deals magic damage to the first enemy it hits and slows them for 2 seconds. Charges of Electro-Harpoon stored prior to overheating can be used even while overheated. The slow is enhanced if used on the same target.
DANGER ZONE: Electro-Harpoon's effects are increased by 50%.




Description:
ACTIVE: Rumble calls down a line of rockets down the target path which remains for 5 seconds, dealing magic damage every second to all enemies within and slowing them by 35%. The Equalizer can be fired in any direction from any point within range.

50 Heat:
Basically the magic number you should maintain in lane. 50 Heat allows you to cast all your spells before overheating, which gives you the chance to dish out extra damage with auto attacks as you're silenced - your abilities were on cooldown anyway.
Also the number you need to keep before a fight.
Try to use



80-95 Heat:
The number you absolutely do NOT want to have before a fight, or in lane. When your heat hits 100 and you become silenced, it will put you in a bad spot and make you vulnerable should it happen at the beginning of a trade.
Even though last hitting is made easier, if you are against an all-in bursty champion such as


Do not cast any spell while having this amount of heat and wait for it to drop, unless you are pursuing an enemy and it would definitely kill.

100 Heat:
Overheating. You cannot cast any spells, but you deal bonus AA damage. Usually occurs in teamfights after maximum two spell rotations. Back off and wait for your cooldown as you will be easily kited, unless you're already having an edge in the fight. As you back off, the enemies may give chase and you can then turn around on them and catch them off-guard. It's good to overheat if you're hard pushing a lane as the bonus damage helps you clear faster.

FIRST RECALL
Your first recall should be situational. In an even lane, you'd want the Hextech Gunblade and when you're ahead, you can choose to go for the Needlessly Large Rod for more damage output early. When you're behind, Seeker's Armguard gives your Armor and helps you survive in lane against AD Champions in most cases, and against AP Champions you can choose to go for Mercury Treads or

MID GAME
If all goes well, and you got a kill or so, You should be able to get these two items. Protobelt alone gives you an early power spike and you can now initiate fights in several cases, while Rylai's is just a further extension of your power in lane.

AFTER SOME TEAMFIGHTS
Hourglass really helps with your survivability in fights and you can go for a Danger Zone

6th Item
Complete your last item. This slot is situational, and you should pick according to the game. In most cases, you'd have Void Staff built early. Otherwise, you can complete Abyssal if you face some heavy AP champions, Randuin's against fed AD champions and Rabadon's if you're really ahead.

**R Means Repeat the combo until overheated and basic attack thereafter.
Combos
That combo is for the harass you should make in laning phase, after the enemy has made their move. For example, after the

When charged by an enemy and you are in a face-to-face fight with your enemy, make use of this combo - Q before E, as you can still Auto-Attack during your Flamespitter which maximises your damage output. But this really is provided that you're in auto attack range of the enemy.

The "All-In" combo. Movement speed to catch up with your target, stacking the slow on him before using Equalizer to make it harder for opponents to escape the Equalizer zone and finally Flamespitter and overheat for the bonus attack damage. Remember to begin with 50 Heat.

The "GTFO" combo, where you slow, boost your movement speed and slow 'em again to escape. If need be, use the Equalizer for even more slow on the enemy.
