Laning vs Rumble is an absolute nightmare, the range on the flamethrower is ridiculous and it does crazy damage.

The worst thing is that it has no down time. I would have no issue with it if tehere was a real window to fight back, but there simply isn't.

Rumble? Who's that

TheOvermind3 votes

Rumbles balance issues lie in his overheat mechanic, and when experienced players abuse it without being punished enough. (The silence is not good enough to keep rumble away from constantly spamming spells to be in the danger zone)

CrazyBear19871 votes

agreed, even Blitzcrank gets a slow for his W

Maybe a small health penalty like 10% from overheating, so they can't spam it without reason.

But if her flamethrowers you, then he pushes lane towards your turret, thus he should get exposed by jungler. Also you are alot safer farming under your turret..

Or did I do my math wrong?

Sona x Rubick1 votes

his Q deals redued damage on minions, at lvl 1 it deals 9 damage x5 or something

that way, he doesn't push the lane hard while Qing you.

His Q doesn't do reduced damage to minions anymore, it now does normal damage to minions, monsters, and champions. They removed that reduction a couple patches ago.

alright, i take that back

Saianna2 votes

EVEN if it was reduced damage, it still contributes in pushing lane ;)

He actually does push the lane, but OK.

Yea, you did it wrong, since he clearse the wave so fast that he can push it right into your tower and get a rreset befor the next wave, so he just clears it and then he can fall back and wait for the next wave when he doesn't have enough vision to pressure you. Though there are quite a lot rumbles that ovberextend regardless. However, it's still up to the jungler to punish that, you as a laner have not much to say in it.

Also, there are few champions with more 1vs2 potential post 6 than Rumble, the combined aoe from Q and his Ult can be really devastateing 1vs2.

you mean, to get kited in both laning phase/teamfight, while also pushing against rumble because rumble's Q does reduced damage to minions, and then getting ganked?

hmm

Sion works pretty well against Rumble.

Ralanr1 votes

Eh, maybe it's something I haven't noticed. Rumble is an annoying match up because of his flamethrower harass.

TheHappyReaperz1 votes

I normally have to put a second point into my shield to cope with the harass, but it's pretty easy to E/Q a Rumble. I'll shift my build to get some MR, and get a Titanic to harass.

CrazyBear19871 votes

Could use a little more context:

What champion you were using

and most important, why did you allow him to Q you till half HP?

Never played Rumble before?

what do you mean by i allowed him? rumble has a shield on a low cooldown that can eat your harass, his Q doesn't pull minions on him while if you hit him you will get minion aggro+blocking. if you also go into him you'll get hit by 2 E slowing you and doing a free 120 damage.

WoonStruck2 votes

If Rumble wants to make you eat a full Q, you're going to eat a full Q. Its up to your jungler to punish Rumble for pushing in that case, not the laner in 90% of match-ups.

There's little-to-nothing that most top laners can do against him outside of ganks unless he makes a HUGE mistake.

well, to be fair. rumble can spam his q almost nonstop.

it has a cast duration of 3 seconds and a 6 second base cooldown. his shield is also on a 6 second cooldown.

look at enemy, press q. run away with w. turn around, look at enemy, press q, run away with w.

throughout the entire lane phase. you can not walk up to a minion to cs without eating flamespitter damage even a single time.

the good thing is, that it also makes him push lane and overextend. its still anoying as hell.

Rumble is annoying in the fact that even if you smash him in lane, if he gets his items his ultimate wrecks people in teamfights. And if you don't smash him in lane (because he is a bully that can spam abilities) he will just bully you and be strong anyways.

He really has no point in the game where he is weak except maybe the VERY VERY Late game.

wait there is balance in league?

according to logic, it's a necessary thing to have fun in this game.

Rumble isn't hard to beat. Hell, I've beaten Rumble with Taric. You need to engage him during the last 1/4th of flamespitter. He cant get it back up in time to defend himself. Also fight in your wave so he has to push and can't use harpoons on you.

Eedat1 votes

It's the same as leaving against Darius. If he ever uses Q it auto pushes the wave hard as fuck

Rumble was one of the original lane bullies. It's no surprise.

Stephenizgod1 votes

Yea it is no fun laning against Rumble, his damage is pretty ridiculous even with MR. Even with these 3 items, item 3211 item 3111 item 3155, I was barely able to farm 1 CS without losing half my HP. His overheat mechanic is ridiculous, you try to punish them for it but its pretty hard to do that when he has already taken out 3/4ths of your HP before being overheated. Most of the time they just back off and you get like 5 seconds to farm. You would think that him pushing that hard would mean he is easy to gank but he pushes it so god damn fast that it pretty much just resets and now you are in danger again.

Honestly Rylai's is just too strong right now and this is a big part of why he can be so oppressive. Lane bullies will be lane bullies but when they can double or triple their threat with a single item, that is when a problem arises. Rumble becomes infinitely more deadly when he rushes this item.

Really? Rumble? As a top lane main who has played a ton of different champs into Rumble I am completely nonplussed by your plight with Rumble. Perhaps you should run flat MR glyphs?

Does this guy even deserve a legit explanation with this kind of QQ?
