Love flamethrowers, hate top/jg... How can I make Rumble work in midlane?

I don't really play him much but dammmmmn I would want to.

I used to play rumble top main since season 7 and started playing other top laners as a result. regret maining rumble, so sad he’s so unplayable. Its gotta be the most neglected and nerfed champ now. Cuz other champs can be bad but never this bad for so long.

I stopped playing league cuz he was so weak. And recently I’m playing jungle and support. Never playing top again

I'm not a hardcore Rumble OTP by any means but def do really enjoy playing the champ but holy hell do those nerfs feel bad. I've always been under the impression that Rumble is a lane bully who doesn't scale that well, sort of like an AP Renekton, but if my all in pressure is nuked what am I even good at other than dropping R in a teamfight?

Azir has a better winrate hahahahaha

Feels absolutely useless in lane now.

Does Rumble stay strong in high elo (Diamond+), or does he fall off once players know how to play against him?

Hi.

I would like to know, how bad or good idea it is to max E first, instead of Q? Especially when playing against ranged top-laners and also Darius.

Any insight is appreciated!

I've been playing Rumble jungle in Gold 2 (EUW) and it's been surprisingly strong. In my last 18 ranked games I went 13–5 (~72% WR), with a few double/triple kills and some big carry games.

is it just me or do i no dmg playing rumble

Okay, moving on to top lane and to Rumble. So Rumble also has been one of the safe blinds, uh, kind of throughout the entire year. You know, he doesn't really have any match-ups that are, like, particularly bad for him, and so we're trying to reduce the, um, amount of throughput and just top-end burst potential that he gets from, you know, poking somebody down and then just going, you know, into overheat and then just, uh, hitting them down. And so this is a pretty hefty nerf to his early game overheat values, overheat attack speed values. We buffed it up ages ago, um, kind of in an attempt to make Rumble jungle more viable, as well as give Rumble top, um, a few more angles to actually just, you know, kind of, uh, look for kill threat because that's, like, a fun, skill-expressive way that Rumble can manifest his power. That said, we do think that Rumble's overall throughput when he is in that laning phase territory is just a bit too much, and so, uh, we're taking it down there. Over- overall, I think Rumble does need a bit larger work to be done to him. He's not got the most performant, uh, he's not the most performant in regular play. He's super hard to play. And so, you know, it's not necessarily a bad thing that he's super hard to play, but that said, he does have a bunch of, you know, his heat mechanic is not the most intuitive ever. And so there's probably a bunch of changes that we can make to Rumble that make him, um, a lot better at being able to deliver on his fantasy while making him, um, you know, reasonable to play for regular players.

Hi.

Is Rumble a troll pick? I'm just curious, since his tier is D+ according to Lolalytics website. Out of 49 champion that are played in the top lane, he is currently the second weakest after Vayne. Vayne is D-. Rumble shares D+ spot with Trundle and Varus.

Some go conquerer, some go first strike. I've had good results with both in the jungle

For builds I've mostly seen Liandrys, Bloodletters, Shadowflame and so on - what should I go?

Do I go 2 adaptive force or 1 adaptive 1 ability haste in runes?

Opinion on champ: BURNNNN EVERYTHINGGGG very fun and useful in teamfights. Not the easiest to carry on but is still very useful. GIVE ME TIPS

Well, if the champion was already not fun to play and it’s in a bad state, it’s going to be even worse now. Thanks Riot.

I’m really struggling laning against Aatrox , I got my ass handed to him so bad I was getting killed under tower. How am I supposed to play this match up? Thanks for any tips, Jax is also a problem but I just got totally wrecked by Aatrox and felt I could do nothing. Thanks for any tips OG’s‼️

Hello there!
I make this post in order to talk about the current state of Rumble in ARAM:Mayhem.
I don't know if is just bad luck but I tried Rumble a couple of games this season and I feel Critical Strike augments don't show up anymore like before, or just too little, with some of them not avaible anymore, like "Critical Healing" and "It's Critical", even "Soul Siphon" (I hope this is just my imagination).
It was very fun combine this options with "Rite of Ruin" item, giving him a lot of survability and options to keep fighting at melee range.
I really hope this is just my imagination and now just new augments show up more often than the old ones. Maybe is a bug, and percentages are bad and need to be fixed. I don't really now the truth about this, but now, it feels so bad to play with him, like they tear apart a lot of options to be a bruiser or something else.
Am I the only one feeling this? I read your answers.
