Why do people say that Rumble is a difficult champ to play?

I ask, because I find him quite easy.....at least mechanically. Sure, his ult is kind of tricky to land, but once you throw a few out, it isn't that hard. Also, he's just a very active champion (if that makes sense) just cycle his abilities to keep his heat up, and you'll do fine.

I suppose you haven't really took time to actually understand where Rumble's difficulty comes from.

Of course he isn't on Azir-level of difficulty, but that's mostly because all stuff you have to learn about Rumble is subtle, and it's those subtle mechanics that differentiate experienced Rumble players from less experienced.

Proper heat management, positioning, avoiding enemy's melee range while keeping them in your Q range, lane management (last hitting, harassing the enemy without pushing), consistently pulling off ults that do more than damage one person for 2 seconds, the fact that he's a squishy melee/mid-range caster based purely on DoTs and with essentially no mobility spell.

Just because it's not shoved up people's faces doesn't mean it's not there.

Last hitting at the same time as flame spitter doing its thing can be tricky, and placing his ult isn't that hard, but placing it in an impactful spot is easy to get wrong. Also many people are prone to getting trigger happy with his abilities during ganks or engages and overheating. Meanwhile he's melee with no gap closers, so many match ups are going to be tricky if you don't know what you're doing.

Understandable. I have missed quite a few CS with his flamespitter. And I guess I can understand overheating in tense moments. I don't seem to have a problem with it though.

Oh well. Maybe I should stick to Rumble since I kind of click with him.

No one is difficult in this game.

Difficulty is relative. In this game, there are champions that are harder to play than other champions. Since it takes longer to say/type that people generally just say 'hard champions' and 'easy champions.'
