I like that our win rate is pretty good. Some of our early duo sessions were awful. Many dcs as well.

So I was watching a stream of SC2 Dreamhack on Twitch when a Razer keyboard ad came up... then they interviewed LoL CLG. Twitch chat exploded.
Yeah I know. He's an awesome champion but early game is so annoying trying to last hit with him.
Most of the time what I try and do is wear them down a bit with the outside of my Q, and once they're just above half health, go all in. Most of the time they will die.
What I find most fun about Rumble is if the enemy team is dumb, it is so easy to get a double kill when getting ganked. Just lay your ult down and they'll be dumb enough to stand in it.

My problem with Rumble is that I dunno how to lane him. :/ Like, I have to go all in with Q to maximize damage but more often than not that I chicken out halfway through the Q, end up wasting it, then losing the trade.

The biggest hurdle with Rumble is knowing how to control minion waves and harass at the same time. You want to Q as much as possible without pushing the wave too much and that can be really hard.
I have no idea how high level Rumble players can manage it, it looks so fucking hard to keep turning Flamespitter around to get just enough ticks of damage.

I think the whole of EUW was in Nunu's Light last year.

People just can't let go of the CC on Q, I guess.
Doesn't he do enough damage already though?

Neither of those Skarner passives feel like Skarner passives though. And losing his current one as well as the loss of damage on Q with the first one will make his clear atrocious.

He's not losing his current one, they'll move it over to his Q to refresh only his Q and adjust his cooldowns accordingly.

Still a tossup, I believe. For example, Dyrus runs health while Balls runs armor.
And Balls is the better player!

While we're on runes should I be buying Attack Speed quints or what?

If you want to play Feral junglers or ADCs, yes.
Lifesteal isnt bad with dorans and feast, but I've been running attack speed mostly now.

Gangplank Q is pretty much like a ranged basic attack. Lifesteal only.

Single target spells like his Q heal for the full spell vamp %, AoE spells heal for 33% of the value. Gangplank's Q is special though since it procs on hits, so Lifesteal instead of spell vamp, forgot about that.

That's correct
Ya, three in a rune page. You can own all of them tho.

I really miss my green ribbon I got like 202 teamwork but 70 honorable rival
If you plan on playing ranked, kiss all chances of getting ribbons goodbye.
Just look at his face man. Combine this with his personality and the quote "Welcome to the league of Draven" and the internet will begin.
The problem wasn't exactly the CC, it was his lack of sticking power. There's now a speed increase on Q as well as on W so that won't be an issue anymore. I'm with dimb about option 2 being better, and in fact I'll be posting on the board in a bit. I just know that in order for option 1 to be feasible they're going to absolutely gut his damage. More galling is the fact that Riot is purposefully leading players to choosing option 1 (We're stoked on this because it adds into his training pattern) and away from 2 (Probably gets really bad if behind because damage is more granular and dependent on snowballing). I'm being cynical, but after Rengar and Skarner I simply don't trust RiotScruffy to not butcher Skarner if option 1 is selected.
both can be good, consider armor too
I dunno about the majority of the runes, as you will be quite weak in other areas, but a couple of glyphs for 5% cdr is really nice coupled with the mastery bonus.
Trying to compensate for Zyra nerfs pls.

Hey the fast one can get to 20% cooldown the better I say.
Ugh I just lost a really lame match just now. Apparently NO ONE WENT TO BOT and when the match was loading my net freaked out so I had to restart it.
When I got into the match, Leona and Ashe managed to push bot, I couldn't do shit since I was still level 1 and no one was arsed to help me. Every attempt at surrendering was trumped by 2 lamers who kept picking 'No'.
Whichever isnt the stat of your marks are.
marks should be armor pen, no?
btw, what do you think of scaling cdr glyphs on mages?
gotcha
No, flat AD.
Build the right items and try to lasthit minions.
By build the right items, that means do not fall into the common noob traps of building Tear on Ez, tear on Jayce, tear on ashe, tear on varus, etc. You don't need tear if you use your abilities properly, and you get increased mana regen on the map already. Don't go ap ezreal either, you will deal less damage than ad ezreal; some people seem to think it's "more fun" to do the same thing but be less useful but I can't agree.
never, under any circumstance, ever buy a runaan's hurircane.
