Vayne vs Rumble

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use ranged spacing and (Q) repositioning to keep Rumble at bay and avoid his short-range heat trades.
Focus on denying Rumble's early lane pressure by avoiding his (Q) danger zone and holding (E) to punish his engages.
This is a scaling marksman vs early AP lane bully matchup; prioritize surviving early and scaling into side-lane DPS.

Trading pattern

Trade by auto-attacking from max range, using (Q) to reposition and avoid (Q) and (E) damage.
Hold (E) to punish Rumble's engage attempts or when he is near terrain for a stun.
Avoid using (Q) forward when (E) slow or (R) zone is ready to prevent getting caught in his burst trades.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Rumble's heat is in danger zone and (Q) is active, as his short-range trades become lethal.
Respect (E) slow charges and (R) zone placement that can trap or cut off your escape paths.
Avoid pushing without vision to minimize vulnerability to ganks and hard engages following your (E) cooldown.

Early game

Keep the wave on your side and avoid pushing without vision to reduce gank risk and limit Rumble's short-range trades.
Use (Q) to kite away from (E) slow and (Q) damage, holding (E) to (E) him into walls when he overextends.
Avoid fighting near walls that favor Rumble's zone control if you cannot control spacing.

Power spikes

At level 6, activate (R) to gain stealth on (Q) and outplay Rumble's all-ins by repositioning.
After your two-item spike, pressure side lanes aggressively, using your true damage to shred Rumble's tankiness.
Respect Rumble's level 6 (R) zone control and his first AP item power spike by playing safe and avoiding his damage zones.

Win conditions

Scale safely through early pressure by using ranged poke and (Q) stealth repositioning to avoid Rumble's burst.
Exploit Rumble's lack of mobility by punishing missed (E) slows with (E) wall stuns and kiting him in side lanes after two items.
Use your superior late-game DPS and stealth to control side lanes and win duels against Rumble in extended fights.
