What's the issue with an underperforming champ getting buffs? I'm actually not sure what you're angry about. The way I'm supposed to feel about this is not clear to me at all.

He's pretty meh though to be honest.

He gets easily destroyed by all the meta Bruisers (cough Irelia cough Camille cough) due to damage creep being fuck ass high, meaning the enemy will practically blow him up before he can channel his full Q and mobility creep, meaning the enemy can just jump out of his poke and his ult.

If the enemy happens to buy a Doran's Shield and took Second Wind in Resolve with Revitalize, his poke in lane, practically the only strength he has in the laning phase, is completely removed. Don't even get me started on if they buy a Spectre's Cowl.

He has no mobility in his kit barring an almost non-existant movement speed buff and a shitty slow until you put points into it, meaning he gets easily kited and is very susceptible to ganks in laning phase.

Since he's so close-range, you have to build pseudo off-tank in order to get even a little bit close to the enemy without blowing up immediately.

This is not to mention AP itemization fucking sucks right now, especially on Rumble given he has no mana.

His fucking silence sucks gorilla pee pee and honestly makes me want to die.

Everytime you use your Q to poke, you'll most likely push the wave forward, meaning it gives the enemy jungler an opportunity to gank you.

And he's currently sitting at a just above 49% win ratio which isn't saying much for someone that's allegedly this "absolutely disgusting"
