Guide to Countering Rumble as Azir

Tips for Playing as Azir against Rumble

Be a bird!

In the lane, try to position your soldiers between the enemy's minions and the enemy champion. This way you can use them both to last hit and to project threat onto your lane opponent.

Be careful about putting down both of the soldiers stored by Arise! Unless you're going all-in, always have a soldier in your back pocket if you need to escape over a wall or if you misposition your other soldier and need damage now.

Think of Emperor's Divide as a defensive ability first and foremost. Use it when the enemy engages on you or your allies. Remember that your team can walk through the soldiers summoned by Emperor's Divide and use this to your advantage when enemy melee champions engage on you.

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.
