Possible Rumble Nerfs?

Posted on at 7:07 AM by Moobeat

It looks like my favorite mech-driving-flamethrower-spitting Yordle, Rumble, might be receiving a little bit of nerf in the upcoming patches. Here is a comment made by Phreak in a thread relating the ethics of nerfing a champion based on the success a popular, high ELO streamer doing exceptionally well with him.
"We are probably going to nerf Rumble, though not due to bigfatlp streaming him.

We had nerfed his cooldown on Q last patch because he was dominating lanes too easily.

Like with Gragas, Galio, Nunu, Malzahar, Janna, and many others, the European server is generally ahead of the curve on the real "OP" champions. Rumble has been a tournament-ban and tournament-pick champion since his release, he's a bit too strong, and we're probably going to nerf him."

    That really sucks. I hate nerfs, but at the same time, I like them when a character always destroys me. Oh well, not much you can do.

    His AP ratios are a bit of the scale. They are probably gonna narrow the width of his flamethrower as well
