Rumble vs Sion

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use Rumble's early lane pressure to deny Sion safe scaling and force him into awkward trades.
Manage Heat carefully to control short-range trades and maintain lane dominance against Sion's lower early agency.
This is a snowball vs scale matchup; Rumble must leverage early aggression to prevent Sion from reaching his late-game front line power.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades by entering danger-zone Heat, landing (E) to slow Sion, and follow up with (Q) to maximize damage.
Punish Sion's missed or interrupted (Q) charges by stepping forward aggressively while his threat is low.
Use (R) to cut off Sion's escape or chase paths, especially in narrow areas or objective corridors.

Danger windows

Respect Sion's charged (Q) knockup from fog or brush angles; avoid predictable positioning.
Be cautious when (R) is available with a clear engage path; sidestep or break angles to avoid knockup.
Avoid trades when overheated or without (E) charges, as Rumble's damage and chase drop significantly.

Early game

Pressure the wave early to prevent Sion from comfortably stacking health with (W).
Look to engage short, high-damage trades with danger-zone (Q) empowered by (E) slow before Sion can charge (Q).
Avoid fighting outside (Q) range or overheating prematurely to keep trade windows favorable.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to control zones, trap Sion, and force all-ins or disengages.
After first AP item, increase pressure with empowered short trades and (R) zone damage to punish Sion staying in range.
Respect Sion's level 6 (R) engage and high health scaling; avoid extended fights when his shield (W) is active and (Q) is charged.

Win conditions

Use superior early lane pressure and Heat management to deny Sion safe scaling and force him behind.
Control fights around objectives by cutting escape paths with (R) and zoning Sion from key areas.
Convert short-range empowered trades into kills or summoner advantages before Sion reaches tank thresholds.
