Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1QuinnPre-Flamespitter Rumble is just a melee with no heat — your range and Harrier auto-resets win the level-1 trade outright.
Level 2QuinnW's attack-speed and move-speed steroid lets you stick Harrier autos on him faster than his short E harpoon can set up a flame channel.
Level 3QuinnWith Q-W-E online you E-in, blind his autos, Harrier-proc and back out before his Flamespitter heat ramps.
Levels 4-5QuinnYou out-poke a heat-managing Rumble and turn it into plates — bait his step-up and burst him while his flamethrower is on cooldown.
Level 6QuinnR gives you roam tempo to tax side lanes; your lane edge holds even though the ult isn't a duel tool.
First itemQuinnYour lethality/crit first item plus roam pressure deletes his squishy AP frame before his scaling lands.
Two+ itemsRumbleRumble out-scales you hard — Equalizer zone plus overheated Flamespitter and Liandry's melt your squishy frame, so you must have already closed the game.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Rumble is just a melee AP bruiser at levels 1-3 with no Flamespitter heat built up, so this is yours to bully. Lead with E-Vault in, throw Q blind to neuter any early autos, proc Harrier and back out before he can channel Flamespitter on you. The thing to dodge is his E harpoon — it slows you and lets him stick his flamethrower DPS on you, so juke it with W's move speed. Never sit in his face while he's spraying; tap and reposition with your range.
