Guide to Countering Rumble as Heimerdinger

Tips for Playing as Heimerdinger against Rumble

Spreading out Hextech Micro-Rockets leads to more reliable damage and more efficiency against multiple targets, but focusing it creates the biggest impact.

The success of Electron Storm Grenade is very important to Heimerdinger's survival. The slow and stun both are capable of keeping enemies in place long enough to punish them, but it is also the first line of defense against a surprise attack.

Turret placement can be a deciding factor in a battle. Against most enemies turrets are best when they can support each other, but if the enemy has a lot of area of effect damage your turrets can be destroyed quickly. Placing turrets in brush can lead to a surprise attack in your favor.

Advice to Win Against Rumble

Rumble deals almost entirely magic damage. Build some Magic Resistance to reduce his damage.

Watch Rumble's Heat bar carefully. If you see him Overheat, go in for the kill while his skills are disabled.

Rumble's ultimate can deal a lot of damage if you stay inside the area of effect. When you see the missiles falling, move out of the way as quickly as possible.
