I really used to hate that fucker, but seriously, you can trade favorably with him with Wu and Irelia and he just generally seems to get ruined by competent ranged tops. nidalee's pretty bullshit, but I think that Irelia and Wu have reasonable matchups vs. her and I think Pantheon is a soft counter. around the same time I got over rumble, I got over Kennen. it actually doesn't seem that hard to trade well against him so long as you don't eat damage from the neutral position for no reason. vlad's an asshat, but is pretty weak vs. burst laners with the capability to sustain burst cycles that put meaningful damage on him and 100->0 combo laners. he is bullshit in all lanes if he gets to level 9 + WotA without falling behind, but so long as you're not trying to play GP vs. him or something it doesn't feel that bad. ryze loses to Wu and Jarvan ffs, lol. I dunno, I think Ryze top is blown out of proportion. he's good vs. the really bulky sustain assholes with no gap closer, but he has so much trouble vs. good gap closers. you forgot yorick, yorick is utter bullshit and you pretty much have to play udyr, irelia, or xin vs. him IMO. | ||

I just feel like ganking isn't worth as much as it used to be compared to counterjungling, clearing wards and controlling objectives. In fact, I feel like oracle is worth it most of the time because bot is warded 90% of the time and a lot of supports don't time them like they should. Even lane ganking is impossible because the lane brush tends to be warded as well. And yes, I've been stacking dblade on Lee Sin too. His late game is really lacking anyway so I like to maximize his early game power. Although, I admit that I dont have much experience with Maokai. I bought him recently but never had a chance to play him competitively. I mean, that's fine with champions that have design that makes them excel at that like Udyr and Shyvana, but trying to do that with Lee Sin just seems kinda pointless. And just because Lee Sin's lategame is a bit weaker doesn't mean you have to completely resign yourself to a slight power boost in early game and throw away your lategame. Lee Sin still has his uses in the lategame if he has some decent items. | ||

If you lane versus him like 10 times in a row he's not scary at all any more. Rumble is hard to play. But laning against a good rumble as quite a few characters feels REAL shitty, especially since once he gets a little bit ahead of you its ggs~ | ||

If you are playing someone who should beat/be even with him but you play them wrong he will CRUSH you just as hard as someone he normally beats. I honstly cant think of any other champion who can just smash people as hard as rumble can if you play the matchup wrong/pick into a poor matchup. | ||

If you lane versus him like 10 times in a row he's not scary at all any more. i have laned against rumbles dozens or even hundreds of times in practices and ranked games, and he is completely broken in every way as soon as he gets even slightly ahead of you, he goes from harassing the shit out of you and forcing you off creeps with one flamethrower, to completely killing you with 1 flamethrower. even if he's not ahead of you, as soon as he gets revolver, he's not gonna ever fall behind. and he scales better than about any champ in the game. rumble is a piece of shit | ||

Btw did you know that Yorick ghoul heals him based on the dmg the ghoul deals BEFORE resistances? so even if shen has 400 armor and your ghoul only deals like 10 dmg to him, you're still going to heal for the ~80 hp or whatever. | ||

Repeat until he is zoned, then get your farm. For items, go double dblade to follow up, then either get wriggles or brutalizer, followed by phage -> Frozen Mallet or phage -> bloodthirster, before tanking out. Get your treads when it seems prudent. played the matchup a number of times and it feels ezpz every time. | ||

As long as you have a jungler that doesn't let him harass you at tower enough for their jungle to tower dive you its k. | ||

Also, you guys think that buffs not showing on leblanc, wukong, and shaco clones will ever be fixed? Obviously arguable if this even is a bug. | ||
