Suggestion for Rumble Ult

At present, I feel that Rumble's ult is not as impactful or fun to use as certain other ults. The mechanic of using it appropriately is slightly bothersome. His ult might me more interesting if it were changed into an AOE rocket drop around him around him. This would help solidify his identity as an AP tank champion.

His current ult, although interesting does not fit with his role that well. His Q is aoe short range, which allows him to harass constantly. His W is a shield and gap closer of sorts. His E allows you to harass enemies that won't get in range and catch up with them. His, ult though, does not offer that same sort of identity with in his role. Yes, it slows which can allow him and his team to catch up to enemies, but let's be honest, most of the time his ult is used at the end of fights to pick up kills, if Rumble survives. Which is the problem, People see his ap scaling and do not start him as a tank. As such he doesn't survive. By changing his ult to be closer range aoe rocket drop around him, people would more likely build him tankier so his ult would have more effect. The ult could also gain a larger effect radius has it was ranked up. It could still have the slow, but maybe a little stronger as to make it harder for enemies to get out of Rumble's reach as he harassed the with his Q and E.

The change to his ult would also be fair as it would allow him to be kited down by skilled marksmen and ranged champs without the fear of an aoe range strip.

Interesting idea... I was thinking there should be some interaction between his "heat" management passive and the ultimate. That way he could have the best of both worlds. Say for example... He has very low heat --> the rockets go off without a hitch and do his standard ultimate. But.....say that if he's in Overheating, he does what you propose and creates an aoe burn effect because his Equalizer completely blows up causing immediate damage to those nearby, as well as causing the ground near his activation spot to burn. We could go even farther if he is in the Danger Zone, the Equalizer rockets ignite but fail to launch, causing him to leave a trail of aoe dmg (like Shyvana's W and perhaps a sunfire cape effect).
