Darius
As Darius, play aggressively with Q and pull whenever possible. Try not to push the lane, and keep river warded. Rumble might be easy to solo but his ult does work when a jungler comes to gank for him.
Jayce
Take advantage of Jayce’s range and poke Rumble every time he goes for creeps. If Rumble is overheated barrage him with your range.

Tips For Playing Against Rumble

- Don’t underestimate an Overheated Rumble early, because his auto-attacks still do high damage.
- deals primarily magic damage. Get magic resistance items to reduce his damage output.
- In lane try to wait until uses and/or before taking the offensive. This will help tilt skirmishes in your favor.
