Rumble Champion Abilities

Junkyard Titan

Rumbles abilities generate heat. While above 50 heat, he enters the danger zone, causing his basic abilities to gain bonus effects. When he reaches 150 heat, he overheats for 4 seconds.

While overheated, Rumble silences himself, but gains 50-130% attack speed and causes his attacks to deal additional magic damage equal to 5-40 (+25% of ability power) + 5% of the target's maximum health (depending on level). P

Flamespitter

Rumble begins torching the area in front of him with his flamethrower, dealing 5 / 7.5 / 10 / 12.5 / 15 (+8.33% of ability power) (+0.5 / 0.583 / 0.667 / 0.75 / 0.833% of target's maximum health) magic damage to all units in a cone in front of him every quarter second for 3 seconds, up to a total of 60 / 90 / 120 / 150 / 180 (+110% of ability power) (+6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10% of target's maximum health) magic damage over the entire duration. Flamespitter deals 70% damage to minions. Rumble can move, attack and use other abilities while the flamethrower is on.

While in the "Danger Zone", this spell deals 50% additional damage. Q

Scrap Shield

Rumble creates a shield blocking 25 / 55 / 85 / 115 / 145 (+30% of ability power) (+4% of target's maximum health) incoming damage for 1.5 seconds. In addition, Rumble receives a 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 30% movement speed boost until the duration of the shield ends or is broken.

While in the "Danger Zone", the shield's strength and movement speed boost are increased by 50%. W

Electro Harpoon

Rumble launches an electrified harpoon, dealing 55 / 80 / 105 / 130 / 155 (+50% of ability power) magic damage, slowing by 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 / 35% for 2 seconds, and reducing the enemy's magic resist by 10 / 12 / 14 / 16 / 18% for 4 seconds.

Hitting an enemy who's already slowed by this ability increases the slow to 22.5 / 30 / 37.5 / 45 / 52.5% and reduces the enemy's magic resist by 18 / 21 / 24 / 27 / 30%. This ability has 2 charges (6 second refresh).

Danger Zone: The harpoon deals 90 / 127.5 / 165 / 202.5 / 240 (+75% of ability power) magic damage instead and the slow and reduced magic resist are increased by 50%. E

The Equalizer

Rumble launches a line of rockets, creating a burning trail that slows by 35% and deals 140 / 210 / 280 (+35% of ability power) magic damage per second for 5 seconds. Rumble can control the direction of the trail by clicking and dragging while casting this ability. R

Rumble Tips and Tricks

Refrain from using your W unnecessarily, as using it for no reason can encourage the enemy laner to duel you. Use your E to secure minions that are out of reach, helping you stay relevant in the lane and ensuring you don’t fall behind in CS, especially if you're being zoned away from the wave. Always keep an eye on your heat bar. Overheating means you won't be able to use any of your abilities, so try to manage your heat carefully when trading to avoid being unable to retaliate.

Best Rumble Build, Runes, and Items

For Summoner Spells, Flash and Teleport are ideal for mobility and map presence. The keystone you want is Arcane Comet, which synergizes well with Rumble's poke damage. Follow this up with Nimbus Cloak, Absolute Focus, and Scorch in the primary tree to enhance your ability to deal damage at range and improve your movement speed. Bone Plating and Unflinching in the secondary tree help you survive while being poked by the enemy.

In terms of rune shards, Adaptive Force in offense helps with your damage, Adaptive Force in flex boosts your overall stats, and Health Scaling in defense adds durability to help you survive in longer trades.

Start with Liandry's Torment for sustained damage, followed by Sorcerer's Shoes for magic penetration and Riftmaker for bonus damage and survivability. Continue with Zhonya's Hourglass for added survivability and utility, then build Rabadon’s Deathcap for maximum damage, and finish with Rylai's Crystal Scepter to apply slow and further enhance your damage.

Skill order should prioritize Q for poke damage, followed by E for wave clearing and mobility, and W last.

Optional Build

For a different approach, Flash and Teleport remain the preferred Summoner Spells. You’ll want Conqueror as your keystone for extended fights, with Triumph, Legend: Alacrity, and Last Stand for additional damage and sustain in skirmishes. For secondary runes, Nimbus Cloak gives you extra movement speed after using your summoner spells, and Scorch helps with lane pressure.

Start with Liandry's Torment as your first item, followed by Sorcerer's Shoes and Riftmaker. Then proceed with Bloodletter's Curse, Zhonya's Hourglass, and Rabadon’s Deathcap. Continue with the Q - E - W skill order.

Alternative Build

If you're looking for another variation, Flash and Teleport are again the best Summoner Spells. Stick with Arcane Comet as your keystone and Nimbus Cloak, Absolute Focus, and Scorch for additional poke and speed. For secondary runes, Bone Plating and Unflinching provide added durability.

For items, start with Hextech Rocketbelt for mobility and burst damage, followed by Sorcerer's Shoes. Liandry’s Torment is your next item to deal sustained damage. Finish with Zhonya's Hourglass for defense, Shadowflame for additional magic penetration, and Rabadon’s Deathcap for maximum damage. Skill order remains Q - E - W.

Situational Rumble Runes and Items

Adjust your build depending on the enemy team and specific matchups. For instance, if you're up against high magic damage champions, consider building more Magic Resist. If the enemy is stacking armor, you may want to prioritize items that provide magic penetration like Liandry's Torment or Shadowflame. Always tailor your build to maximize your effectiveness in the given game context.
