Is rumble ever going to get anything?

rumble seems like a dead champion, no updates, no new skins, it seems likes riot gave up on rumble and just don't care about him anymore.

Rumble had been a staple in Pro play and high ELO SoloQ in Season 7, so I'm not sure where you got "dead" from other than his seeing a decline in play due to nerfs and pre-season meta fluctuations. He was picked and banned in Season 7 LCS ~1400 times.

Flamethrower had no counter-play for a lot of melee champs, but really, this guy needs a rework. Either he becomes really op from tweaks or really dead.

Yeah he definitely needs a rework. He's either trash because he can't get enough damage off before his overheat, or OP because he does too much damage with ult and flamethrower on meeles with no counterplay.

I still remember how oppressive his flamethrower was when I played Shen a while back, I literally couldn't farm anything because he literally just held the flamethrower at the front of the turret and just stood there waiting for me to take one step out to farm and he blow down each minion spawn. Flamethrower your face until you have to leave because of your low hp, and he never overheated once during the whole laning. No ganks because he literally flamethrower-ed my jg until he just gave up ganking top lol.

Balance wise I think he's still fine, it's just that there's so much overpowered stuff running around that his more fairly balanced kit can't keep up.

Skin wise though I think Riot should give his skins some chromas at least if they don't intend to make new skins for him before he gets a new rig and model (I remember them saying once that they hate his current rig because it's poor for making the kinds of skins they want to). Issue there is that they've also decided to not do almost pure visual updates anymore.

What more do you want? Rumble can auto win lane by just spamming your 0 cost low cd skills lmao. please.

I suggested this a while ago, but I'll say it again. I think they should increase the distance his harpoons travel. If Nidalee can toss a javelin halfway across the map (I'm exaggerating but you get the point), I think that similar spear type weapons should be able to travel far.

So you want to make him even more opressive for melee champs. Good choice. Fuck melees.

Nidalee's spears cost mana and have a longer cooldown. Rumble's E has about a 3 second cd and no cost.

First of all, it's a javelin, not a spear. There's a difference. Also, Nidalee's javelins actually do decent damage (and do even more damage based on how far they travel). Rumble's harpoons do almost nothing. Finally, I'm pretty sure (not 100% sure on this but pretty sure) Nidalee's javelins have a larger hitbox. I don't understand why Nidalee's projectiles are allowed to be so strong and Rumble's harpoons are kept in this garbage state. The mana cost is a small price to pay for everything she gets with that ability.

NO! Rumble has been out of the meta for like half a season. Riot has obviously forggoten all about him. We need him back in every other game toplane and need to see him in every other pro game. We have no time for champs who legitimately have been forgotten about.

shhh don't bring attention to rumble. he is perfect. leave him alone.

It seems like everyday there's a new thread on complaints about champs being ignored. First Volibear, then Fiddledicks, then Nunu, then Wukong, now Rumble?
