Current State of Rumble and My Personal About him, Has he been forgotten?

The concept and mechanics of Rumble as a Melee AP Carry is what guide me towards playing him disregarding the multiple changes to him within the past and now. I remember how fun and reliable he used to be at early and mid stages of his released, but now I find it not quite reliable in Solo Queue due how the current meta has evolved, and due to the changes that has been made to his abilities damage, cool down, and his passive as well, which in my opinion his passive is the most important factor to look out for when playing as rumble.

One of the problem I noticed, Rumble isn't a good choice of pick in Solo Queue, but it's an excellent pick when it comes to play with Organize play (Ranked 5 vs 5 or Competitive Matches) due to how rumble's abilities and passive changes.

My question is, where is rumble in the eyes of Riot Designers & Staff this season/year? Is rumble a forgotten champ? What's his current state?

I've tried asking Riot FeralPony myself through twitter, about what he thinks about the champion he designed and created, and if it was possible for him to work on him and possible making him better, while keeping balance in the process. However, I haven't got a reply from him at all. I wish i got the chance to speak to him directly and any other Riot Designer & Staff that wants to speak about Rumble as whole and what it can be done to make him more reliable.

Also, poor rumble only has to skins, while other old champions have multiple skins. I would love to see more skins for rumble. He's my favorite champion overall, and it would be sad to see him being in the current poor state that he is at the moment.

I'm looking forwards to reading and seeing responses from Riot Games Designers & Staff.

Thanks, NT
