inb4 downvoted by people who are apparently gods at rumble tell me how bad i am and nothing that i am about to say is true.

Rumble got weaker with the ap item nerfs and with items like guinsoos, (making irelia, jax, and xin fucking gods) its hard for a champion like rumble to survive in the top lane right now. Can us rumble lovers possibly get something in the coming patches.

People say win rates dont matter, but they do when a champion drops from a 50% win rate (about) to a 45% win rate while only having a 1% play rate in 1 patch. I love rumble, but im too scared to pick him right now because of irelia and xin for the most part. Irelia was already an annoying and sometimes difficult match up (depends on the player) but now its even harder.

Sadly, people just like to give him shit for no reason, and riot just refuses to pay attention to his state for longer than two hours. So basically he's sentenced to die because of his abysmally low pick rate, but who am I to judge?

Guinsoo's will inevitably be nerfed.

In the meantime, I will not miss yet another resourceless champ top lane.

The Zhonya's and Rabadon's changes really hurt Rumble in particular. Recently I've been building him like a bruiser, getting lots more defense than usual. Old build looked like this: item 3151 item 3020 item 3157 item 3116 item 3089 item 3135 New build looks like this: item 3151 item 3020 item 3116 item 3001 item 3143 item 3742 Personally, I'd rather see him get a buff, since he's been hit pretty hard lately by indirect nerfs. But until then, I'll continue to adapt to changes the only way I know how, by changing with them.
