Guide to Countering Rumble as Katarina

Tips for Playing as Katarina against Rumble

Picking up Daggers will significantly reduce Shunpo's cooldown.

Try waiting until the other team is distracted with fighting your team, and use Shunpo to teleport into the fray and unleash a devastating Death Lotus.

Using Shunpo on an allied Champion, Dagger, or minion can be a great escape tactic.

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.
