Kit looks like Riven on steroids. I like it. His dash looks like the coolest part since you can can combo it with Q. Really interested in seeing how he plays.

TOTALLY NOT A CONSERVATIVE
or a fucking nazi
His dash seems way shorter than Riven's, and he only has two. That's something, at least.

he seems powerful. thick. big. a good champ

Riot seems to realize shields are too strong, so every other rework and new champ is going to come with something in their kit that is anti-shield, first irelia, now aatrox.

Sorta like how they started throwing "grounding" around for a bit.

Funny, my reaction was "gently caress's sake, just what this game needed: another loving Riven".

Looks cool, still really weak to grievous wounds since the only defense he has is his sustain and revive.

I'll give 'em a hold

And if they can't play nice
I won't play with 'em at all
I'm going to put this top laner in my rear end

Also the riven comparisons are weird because he's still not even half as mobile as Riven even with those (really short) dashes. He's a big bulky juggernaut-flavored Riven and I'm into it.

Don't forget Urgot and Pyke, who can both execute through shields.

yea unfortunately it is hard countered by

*checks notes*

moving out of it

I do have like a 63% winrate on rumble still though, he's probably not as bad as people think so with buffs maybe he'll be ok

Yeah, all the shielding supports got massively owned. I dunno if it'll be enough to get people to stop playing Janna, but I'm expecting the only traditional non-tank supports you're gonna see much are Soraka and Nami.

Definitely not, they changed that back in 3.05. That’s before I even started playing.

I mean I haven't been playing half as long as the people in the thread but I feel like if Rumble's ult isn't a groupwide "oh gently caress SCATTER" button t hen rumble's in a bad spot, just my 2c obviously

The additional changes to all the shield/heal items came late and they surprise me. They’re just as impactful, maybe more, than the champion nerfs.
