Rumble vs Varus Matchup Summary
The Rumble vs Varus matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 14 recent matches analyzed, Rumble wins with a 64.3% win rate compared to Varus's 35.7%, giving Rumble a 28.6 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Varus controls the early laning stage, but Rumble outscales as the game goes longer.
