Normally I only farm with my E (and ofc Q but that is pretty random), but that means like 5-6 times less minions than my opponent.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. 5-6 TIMES less CS than your opponent? That's a huge deal. Rumble isn't some magical top laner that doesn't need CS or items to perform and carry. You need to be last-hitting as much as possible. Especially since Rumble's kit lends itself to bullying people out of lane rather than straight-up killing them, your advantage in lane should be your experience and CS.

If you meant you're behind 5-6 individual CS, that's not as bad, but you should still try to actually win your lanes, not just survive them. Watch C9 Balls if/when he streams; he's one of the best Rumble players out there.
Thanks to Fatelblade for the sig!

Dr. Mundo, Shyvana, Jax, Renekton. Meta champs are almost always easier to play if you don't main the role.

Yeah I know him :) Good you mentioned him as I wanted to ask about runes. He uses AP scales and I'm not sure if that is OK or not. I would rather use flat MR or scale MR runes. Any thoughts?

Regarding to CS, it is quite difficult to do it right when you are against a Jax or Aarthrox or I'd even say Trundle.. I often end up blowing my Flash if I focus on taking more and more CS.

Another question, spells. Could TP work? I mean the Equalizer can be useful anytime at any place. And if the map is warded properly from the beginning after hitting level 6 I could be pretty helpful if you know where I'm going with this..?

Ty,

Yet somehow I fail at him ;_; Probably cause I'm used to guys who are weak in lane like Jax and Irelia.

yeah i recently started top laning more. i can say that both jax and renekton are fairly simply/straight forward. there are more tricks you can do with both but you can play them fairly well without too much skill. renekton is super easy the only thing is keeping track of your fury and capitalizing on the fury bonus also using slash and dash effectively. jax..seriously just farm...once you get TF and BOTRK it is more or less gg...the damage he puts out...good lord.

I seriously hate renekton with every fiber of my being. No champion should have a guaranteed safe & strong laning phase in 100% of all solo lane matchups
If I helped you out, be sure to throw me a +Rep!
