Rumble's abilities

Passive, spells and ultimate

Junkyard Titan (P)

Every spell Rumble casts gives him Heat. When he reaches 50% Heat he reaches Danger Zone, granting all his basic abilities bonus effects. When he reaches 100% Heat, he starts Overheating, gaining bonus Attack Speed and granting his basic attacks bonus damage, but making him unable to cast spells for a few seconds.

Playing as Anivia

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Detonate your ice on the target

    Recast Flash Frost (Q) when the orb reaches your target: it explodes at once and stuns, without waiting for the end of its range.

  2. Frostbite a chilled target

    Cast Frostbite (E) right after Flash Frost (Q), or inside a fully formed Glacial Storm (R): against a chilled target, its damage doubles.

  3. Cut off the escape with your wall

    Place Crystallize (W) behind a fleeing enemy: the ice wall blocks the path before it melts.

  4. Play aggressively while your egg is up

    Play more aggressively when Rebirth (passive) is available: instead of dying, you turn into an egg, and if it isn't destroyed, you come back at full health.

Playing against Rumble

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Trade when he overheats

    Take a trade when he overheats: at 100% Heat, Junkyard Titan (passive) stops him from casting spells for a few seconds.

  2. Leave his Flamespitter cone

    Back out of the Flamespitter (Q) cone: it burns for 3 seconds, with damage based on your max health.

  3. Avoid chokepoints

    Avoid chokepoints in teamfights against him: The Equalizer (R) leaves a trail of fire there that slows and burns everyone who crosses it.

  4. Target him: he has no dash

    In teamfights, if you can engage, target Rumble: he has no dash, only the speed from Scrap Shield (W).
