Top Lane Main? Rumble vs Kled?
Just wanna know, in your opinion, which would be the better champion to main top lane, Rumble or Kled, according to how fun they are and their ability to carry.

I'd say getting good w/ both of em as go to picks would be your best choice, because they both do well in different situations. Kled does best as a split pusher or in a pick comp because he can tear down towers, is very strong in 1v1/2v2 small skirmishes, and can catch people out with his ult and bear traps and his ult helps his team follow up.
Rumble is better in a straight up 5v5 with his aoe damage and zoning power with his ult and flamespitter-zhonyas combo.
They have very different strengths and win conditions, kleds win condition is the map pressure he creates w/ split push and his ability to pick off a high value target with a flank.
Rumble's win condition is getting the best positioning in a 5v5 teamfight, usually around baron or another objective and getting a good equalizer/flamspitters that helps his team win that teamfight well enough to capitalize on objectives.
I'd say kled is a better fit for less standard comps probably with less CC/initiation (rather than teamfight comps) because he wants to spread the map out to create chances to catch people out and/or effectively split push. But in a team-comp with decent initiation, (nautilus support mid like orianna for example) rumble will be very powerful.
So yeah, my answer is both. Lol probably not very helpful but thats my view.
The one you prefer playing
As someone who plays both of them quite passionately I would say it depends on a few things. They both cover the same idea of what they're supposed to do in lane, but once team fights start it's quite different. Rumble is able to carry a team fight much easier than Kled, due to how well of a team fight tool his ultimate can be if used correctly. Yet, Kled on the other hand is able to dive in and get the enemy squishies quite easily.
Really if you want to know how fun each one is... Kled is more fun for those who like to play hyper aggressive and just go in without giving a shit about the consequences. Rumble is fun when you learn how to manage his heat properly, since there is many people in the top lane meta that he can do well against.
Their individual potential to carry are both high. If Kled initiates well with Ult then he can carry well, especially if he gets a pick on the enemy squishies. Rumble can carry a team fight with his massive amounts of AoE Damage.
To be honest, they're complete opposites of each other.
- Rumble does massive amounts of AoE Damage, Kled does massive amounts of Single Target Damage
- Kled is much more mobile than Rumble is, but that mobility can be limited unlike Rumble's W
- Rumble and Kled can both carry team fights, but Kled will do it one person at a time. While Rumble will take down multiple people at a time.
Teemo is always the answer
