@Riot It's time to look at Rumble again.

has been in such poor shape for what feels like a very long time. He was given a small buff in the form of wave clear, which, does help him CS but also puts him into considerable risk. His itemization paths feel terrible and I've noticed he doesn't really have a power spike that is noticeable.

I think the discussion needs to be had of what he is supposed to be and reallocate his power in his kit. He feels like he's half in and half out on this Mage/Bruiser thing to where he doesn't do either effectively. When you look at his AD equivalent in Renekton, he does a fantastic job of this. He has conditional sustain in his kit and a small amount of CC. He deals damage and has access to lifesteal options (Rumble's itemization problems again here.)

I'd like to see him get some source of sustain now that even spell vamp is lost to him, not that it was ever great to begin with, or an increase to his damage. Rumble takes huge risks each time he has to trade and with his clear being faster, his bullying tactics just end up being counter intuitive.

I'd suggest maybe linking some sort of health return to his Overheat, or perhaps an additional effect of some sort in his passive.

Rumble is a mechanic right? Perhaps occasionally he could have a window to perform a maintenance on Tristy. Something like...

After Overheat wears off, Rumble gets a Maintenance mode. After Maintenance mode wears off he gets a Regen. So for the sake of example he has 3 "charges" on him. Each time he's struck after that by an opponent, the Regen gets weaker as he loses charges. At the end of maintenance mode he gets a recovery based on his remaining charges.

This supports his play style of hit and run damage over time bullying.

I also think Rumble should be fully classified as our AP Juggernaut. He should be balanced around the likes of his peers such as .

What do you think?
