Guide to Countering Rumble as Karma

Tips for Playing as Karma against Rumble

Don't be too conservative with Mantra. Gathering Fire is strongest in teamfights, making it easy to recharge Mantra multiple times.

Gathering Fire rewards aggressive play. Look to land abilities and basic attacks on your opponent to lower Mantra's cooldown and stay on the offensive.

When using Focused Resolve, slow your opponents with Inner Flame or speed yourself up with Inspire if you're having trouble sticking to a target.

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.
