Guide to Synergizing Zilean and Rumble

Tips for Playing as Zilean with Rumble

Time Warp is an effective way to enable allies to finish off enemies, or escape from a losing battle.

Chronoshift is a powerful deterrent to attacking your carries, but casting Chronoshift too early in a fight can cause the enemy to switch targets too soon, making it less effective.

You can combine the use of Time Bomb and Rewind to place two Time Bombs on a target quickly. Placing the second bomb will detonate the first and stun all nearby enemies.

Advice to Understand How Rumble Will Play

Try and keep targets in the range of your Flamespitter. It can deal a lot of damage overtime.

If you are winning a fight you can use your ultimate to wall off an escape path.

Try and pace yourself to stay in the Danger Zone to maximize your effectiveness. It is easy to overheat if you rapidly use your abilities.

Is Zilean better when played alongside Rumble?

There is no one best synergy for Zilean that will always be his best teammate. Yet, overall, Rumble is a relatively poor teammate for Zilean. By locking into the same side as Zilean, he drops their win rate by -1.1% to 49.6%. This clearly indicates that there is a negative synergy between Zilean and Rumble that results in them performing not as well together than alone.

Rumble has a much greater difficulty compared to Zilean. That means Zilean players need to be very careful when arranging Rumble comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a much higher level of skill to be able to do well with you.

Working on the same side, you will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magic damage. Together, these champs are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.

Although, by grouping Zilean and Rumble together, you probably will not be providing your other teammates very much anti-tank damage dealing potential. Make sure to bring other champions on your team that nullifies this relative gap in their kit.

Regardless of your Rumble ally's ability, you should focus on maximizing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well anyway.
