Playing as Rumble
Tips to maximize your impact
- Stay in the Danger Zone
Keep your Heat between 50 and 100%: Junkyard Titan (passive) then empowers your spells, but at 100%, overheating locks them for a few seconds.
- Burn them up close
Stay close during Flamespitter (Q): the cone burns your target for 3 seconds, with damage based on their max health.
- Two harpoons to stick to them
Hit your target with both Electro Harpoon (E) shots: the second slows harder and lowers their magic resist further, which helps keep them in your Flamespitter (Q).
- The Equalizer in a chokepoint
Cast The Equalizer (R) in a chokepoint, on an objective or on their escape route: the trail of fire slows everyone who crosses it and burns them every second.

How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- 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.
- Leave his Flamespitter cone
Back out of the Flamespitter (Q) cone: it burns for 3 seconds, with damage based on your max health.
- 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.
- 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).
Abilities and cooldowns
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.
