I hope it at least reverts the previous nerf, I've been losing a lot of stat checks during overheat lately because of it

In three years rumble entire kit got nerfed especially q early damage got destroyed and i am not expecting to riot buff rumble that big because of pro play , this champ needs rework to make soloq better and proplay worse until then he will be always in a weak spot

Rumble is probably never banned cause nobody plays him and he's one of if not the best blind pick in the game (toplane) but there are still times I would rather not play him (too much ap, no cc, enemy picked irelia, etc).

The only champ I can think of who's remotely similar to rumble is gangplank but he seems hard as hell.

Edit: I've tried gnar but getting constantly counterpicked by malphite and irelia is pretty annoying

I won't be surprised if Rumble for some reason won't be included in the 26.22 patch notes, and he will be left alone as he is right now. Of course he will get something in the future since that's something that will definitely happen. But currently? Knowing Riot, changes won't appear that fast. I might be wrong though and a miracle will happen, but if you remember what changes Rumble received since 2024, you know maybe what I am trying to write here.

Its so sad what they did to him. Phreak wanted to make him good without breaking pro scence , but in contraray he made it even worse :( Winratio is the lowest since his release . The worst top laner in game. Rumble used to be great top laner , good mid laner decent jungle , and vaiable supp, right now he sucks in all. Ofc there are games u can win on him , but its so freaking unfair

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?

Feels absolutely useless in lane now.

Azir has a better winrate hahahahaha

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

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.

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
