Guide to Countering Rumble as Swain

Tips for Playing as Swain against Rumble

While laning, try to use Death's Hand's piercing damage to damage opponents from a safe distance.

Vision of Empire is quite difficult to land on its own, look for skirmishes around the map where enemies may be distracted or crowd controlled so you can land it more easily.

If you're having trouble rooting an enemy with Nevermove, try throwing it at opponents when they are near their minions so the explosion surprises them.

Demonic Ascension may make Swain very hard to kill but he's pretty easy to get away from. Try building items that can slow opponents to keep them in range if their mobility is overwhelming.

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.
