Rumble owns the early game: even at level 1 his Flamespitter (Q) out-trades your short-range Transfusion, and once he hits Danger Zone his amplified Q plus Electro Harpoon (E) slow lets him kite your walk-ups entirely. Farm at range, respect his heat bar, and never contest a wave he's cooking with Q.
