Yasuo vs Rumble

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use (Q) and (E) to maintain mobility and control space near minions, denying Rumble safe trades.
Pressure early to prevent Rumble from safely using his heat-managed short-range damage and zone control.
This is a snowball matchup where Yasuo must disrupt Rumble's lane pressure and avoid passive scaling.

Trading pattern

Stack (Q) and dash through minions to engage short trades, using (W) to block Rumble's empowered (Q) flames.
Punish (E) cooldowns by stepping forward aggressively before he can slow and trap you.
Commit to all-ins only after landing knockups to enable (R) and avoid fighting when (W) or passive shield is down.

Danger windows

Respect Rumble's empowered (Q) when his heat is in the danger zone; avoid extended trades during this.
Be cautious when (E) slow is available, as it enables his short-range damage and zone control.
Avoid fighting inside (R) zone; reposition or disengage to prevent heavy damage and slows.

Early game

Use level 2 (Q)+(E) combo to contest Rumble's early zone and force trades on your terms.
Avoid extended trades when (Q) is overheated but be ready to punish cooldowns of his (E) slow.
Keep minion waves close to use (E) for mobility and dodge Rumble's short-range poke.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your (Q)+(E) combo; use it to force trades when minions and cooldowns align.
Level 6 (R) allows lethal all-ins after knockups; track its availability for picks or defensive resets.
First item completion increases your trade reliability; pressure waves and trades more confidently afterward.

Win conditions

Use (Q) and (E) to control space and force Rumble out of his comfort zone near minions.
Deny Rumble safe heat management by pressuring early and punishing cooldowns on (E) and (R).
Snowball by landing knockups to enable (R) all-ins, then leverage your mobility to roam or splitpush effectively.
