Oh cmon, rumble hardly qualifies for asshole of champion design.

Vlad and Yorick are WAY worse.

rumble's really not that bad. 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've had trouble against yorick with nid before. He just shoves you into your tower and you cant do anything about it. He has a lot of sustain so poking him with range doesn't accomplish much.

How important is ganking potential for a jungler these days? I've been playing a lot of jungling lately and it seems that there are two preferred methods: Build support items, oracles and farm a lot (udyr, maokai, malphite, amumu) or counterjungling, build oracles and stacking dbaldes (lee sin, shyvana, udyr). No one seems to be concerned about ganks anymore, especially before buying oracles.
---

Its very important. In reading your post it kind of looks like you got really screwed up somewhere when someone tried to teach you to jungle.



No one taught me to jungle. I've been doing it since season 1. 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.

yeah, forgot yorick. he's bad champ design too
and yeah, vlad is 100% bullshit too, but i think vlad is still only second to rumble

rumble has spammable skills that (a) make him impossible to close the gap on (harpoon), (b) make his sustained dps higher than practically any champ at low levels (flamethrower), (c) a shield that gives movespeed and makes him nigh impossible to gank (d) allow him to spec completely defensively and still out-dps most champs (e) GET BETTER AS YOU USE THEM MORE. like imagine if vlad's Q did double damage after you used it 5 times in a 7 second time period lol. fkretarded

I dunno man, try playing rumble a few times. that herpaderp is a lot harder to play than I used to give him credit for. it's really easy to overheat and it's hard to deal with gap closers who can trade favorably over a 5 second window (Irelia/Wu), not to mention how rough it is going Rumble vs. Ryze or Rumble vs. Swain.

Ì get the feeling gtrsrs played against rumble once and lost and now thinks he's broken. 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~

rumble beats the people he beats REALLY hard. but there are a lot of people who can do just fine so long as they don't eat rumble flames while last hitting with their abilities on CD.

The other thing that rumble does better than anyone else is abuse people who dont know how to play against him.

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.

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

Yorick way better at pooping on noobs to be honest. Needs no skill to play either, all you do is E them and as they're trying to enter brush, W behind them in the brush and then if close enough run up to Q them. You heal 200 hp, they take 400 dmg or so.


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.

lane against him with this setup:
WuKong
9/14/7
ArPen, Armor, MRes, 2 HP Regen/1 MRes
open boots + 3, wait for a 4th if your team can afford it

Trade with him starting at level 2 on every EQ CD and zone yourself off creeps when EQ are on CD. 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.

actually now that I think of it, I can even start trading with him with my E at level 1, since they usually take harpoon at level 1 and you win out in auto-attack trades if he stands and fights. Obviously pick your spots so that you don't get blown out by creeps.

Why did all the players who played rumble before stopped playing him then?
o.O
Never had problems with rumble who care's if he zones you off creeps with 1 flamethrower you just don't creep until he pushes to tower. 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.

Thinking about it now twitch and Ionic Spark seem in interact in this way: If twitch has 3 charges on Ionic Spark and hits five enemies with his ult, ionic spark will trigger on the first and fifth enemy hit.

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.

I just think Rumble is a stupid hero to play against because the harassment never stops. Most heroes, you can at least eventually hope that they'll run low on mana and have to spam a little less. Vs Rumble, you're just getting shot at with flamethrower + harpoon every 3 seconds.
