Rumble Guide

Tips for Playing Against Rumble

-Very difficult if you die early, but if you play really safe early it becomes a bit easier.
-His E shreds your magic resist, and his Q does percent max health damage, so completely avoid that for a while. Dodging his E later on can certainly help win trades also, but try not to get full Q'd by him ever.
-After first back, if you have a Giant's Belt, you'll likely do good damage. Try to Q + W onto him right as his Q is expiring, and you should win a trade. Stay cautious though.
-This matchup might be orange, I haven't played it enough. Don't feel bad if you lose, but I think it is a matchup that takes practice to consistently win.
-If he gets no kills he'll fall off pretty hard later on I think.
-Oh, also, probably avoid using W on him when he has ult up unless it is clear you can win it. He can do a lot of guaranteed damage, and having W to escape his ult is nice too.

Swiftness Boots

Great in general, great against Rumble as you can avoid his crazy damage and slows, and chase him down if you're ahead.
Hollow Radiance

Hollow Radiance is probably nice when behind, or perhaps even. I think being able to just clear fast is nice, and it provides some survivability too. If ahead, and especially if there's a lot of squishies on the enemy team, I would just go Heartsteel.
Spirit Visage

I've never really tried rushing this item, but I imagine it would be a good choice against Rumble. Instead of the waveclear that Hollow provides, you get 10 more magic resist, and better heals and shields (which is especially nice if you have allies that can heal/shield), all for 100g cheaper. The waveclear is great on Hollow, but I don't think Rumble is the craziest split-pusher in the world, so this seems like it *could* be a nice option too.
