Regarding Rumble

It seems that not many players play him. People will wonder why, but it's actually quite simple. He's fine, he does not need a buff, does not need a nerf, doesn't need anything. He's just different. His laning phase is weird, as he doesn't spike with skill as hard as other champions do. His power spikes come when he levels his Q, which comes after level 3 since you will want to start with E, and then get all skills before starting to max Q. His Scrap Shield can be seen as a extremely short and unreliable source of mobility, but its low cooldown and defensive shield is actually pretty nice. The movement speed is just for sticking onto targets when using Flame. His ultimate actually deals a TON of damage. If the enemies are caught within it for more than about 3 seconds, it already deals as much damage as other ultimates of similar utility, and it has a heavy slow paired with an immense range. His Heat is also something people are too afraid of to learn. It adds up, like Fury and Ferocity, but instead silences you when reaching the max, but gives you a nifty amount of magic damage on your basic attacks. Overheating at the right moment may actually win you fights. With Flamespitter on and slaming your target with empowered attacks deal an unexpected amount of damage in duels.

Just wanted to share this with anyone who thought Rumble's low popularity was due to him not being viable or some sort.

Edit: Something similar can be said about my favorite champion, Gangplank. He goes from being completely aggressive at level 1-2 to passive farming and punishing when possible for the rest of the laning phase and early game. Then, when he reaches late game, he deals a load of damage, his E makes towers cringe when attacked by the whole team, and his ultimate thanks to recent changes, is a great teamfighting and split pushing tool.

And a note: I'm happy Riot gave him the Legendary Skin. To me, it kind of means "We know Rumble's there."

<- Plus he is fluffy now. Like, hella.
