Rumble, the Mechanized Menace, Approaches - Kit

[quote=JunSupport]http://www.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=682412 [color=yellow]His ultimate looks pretty awesome. I'm hoping those slows, and shield mean he'll be an awesome yordle tank. :D[/color] [QUOTE=Average Gatsby;8132619][B]Lore:[/B] Rumble, the Mechanized Menace Even amongst yordles, Rumble was always the runt of the litter. As such, he was used to being bullied. In order to survive, he had to be scrappier and more resourceful than his peers. He developed a quick temper and a reputation for getting even, no matter who crossed him. This made him something of a loner, but he didnâ��t mind. He liked to tinker, preferring the company of gadgets, and he could usually be found rummaging through the junkyard. He showed great potential as a mechanic. His teachers recommended him for enrollment at the Yordle Academy of Science and Progress in Piltover, where he may very well have become one of Heimerdingerâ��s esteemed prot�©g�©s, but Rumble refused to go. He believed that Heimerdinger and his associates were â��sellouts,â�� trading superior yordle technology to humans for nothing more than a pat on the head while yordles remained the butt of their jokes. When a group of human graduates from the Yordle Academy sailed to Bandle City to visit the place where their mentor was born and raised, Rumble couldnâ��t resist the temptation to see them face-to-face (so to speak). He only intended to get a good look at the humans, but four hours and several choice words later, he returned home bruised and bloodied with an earful about how he was an embarrassment to â��enlightenedâ�� yordles like Heimerdinger. The next morning he left Bandle City without a word, and wasnâ��t seen again for months. When he returned, he was at the helm of a clanking, mechanized monstrosity. He marched it to the center of town amidst dumbfounded onlookers and there announced that he would join the League of Legends to show the world what yordle-tech was really capable of, without hiding behind a foreign banner. â��Ugh, itâ��s gonna take forever to scrape your face off my suit!â�� - Rumble [B]Abilities:[/B] [B]Flamespitter:[/B] Rumble torches the area in front of him with his flamethrower dealing damage to all units in a cone for several seconds. While in the â��Danger Zone,â�� this spell deals additional damage. [B]Scrap Shield:[/B] Rumble creates a shield blocking incoming damage for several seconds and granting a short duration speed boost. While in the â��Danger Zone,â�� the shieldâ��s strength and speed boost increase. [B]Electro-Harpoon:[/B] Rumble launches a missile that deals magic damage and applies a stackable slow on the target. A second shot can be fired for no additional cost within several seconds. While in the â��Danger Zone,â�� the damage and slow percentage is increased. [B]The Equalizer (Ultimate):[/B] Rumble calls down a line of rockets over the target location. Enemies in the scorched area take damage over time and are slowed. [B]Junkyard Titan (Passive):[/B] Rumble's abilities generate heat. When Rumble is above 50 heat, he is in the "Danger Zone," causing all his basic spells to have additional effects. When Rumble reaches 100 heat he overheats, silencing himself and causing his physical attacks to deal additional magic damage. Rumble loses heat over time.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Guinsoo][url=http://www.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?p=8133379#post8133379]One cool point[/url] that's not well documented in this preview: His Equalizer uses drag targeting. You get to choose the start location (detatched from your champion) and then drag for the direction it fires in.[/QUOTE] [img]http://www.leagueoflegends.com/board/attachment.php?attachmentid=159487&d=1303421687[/img][/quote]

[quote=Dante Rebellion]whoooooooooooa heat mechanic sounds badassssssssssss[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]holy shit he actually sounds reallllly cool[/quote]

[quote=PotatisFarfar]Fear the chiprel! CLEARLY insperated by HoN chipper, but original twists on it all. I aprove ! and i got the IP rdy :D Seems awsome[/quote]

[quote=JunSupport]Guys read the passive very closely. How exactly does Rumble generate heat...? I think there's a typo. Will keep tabs on the original post for edits. EDIT: [url=http://www.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?p=8133449#post8133449][color=yellow]Guinsoo clarified, abilities generate heat. :3[/color] Click for the post.[/url][/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]I thought that's what it would be. It only makes sense - as you use your abilities, you get more heated, and there's a punishment for overdoing it but they also get stronger as you spam abilities more.[/quote]

[quote=PotatisFarfar]Ok, just realised, his ultimate is exactly like chippers in HoN :) But hey it's awsome fun. Just makes me wanna have this hero more[/quote]

[quote=Zeprido]He sounds like a Tanky DPS Mage.... Might add him to my collection of Tanky DPS.[/quote]

[quote=B-Wong]I want this.[/quote]

[quote=Trojan995]Sounds a lot like nunu. Also, spamming abilities isn't so much a punishment, but adjusting your playstyle might make it an advantage - you do damage as your abilities power up, then you do a bunch of damage with auto-attacks as you're silenced. Oh, and maybe a jungler?[/quote]
