Cait: Tough. Rumble struggles against ranged AD and her range is the nastiest of the bunch. Fighting her at the tower or waiting for ganks would be your best options. Alternatively you could attack from the bushes.

Nid: Not hard. She's squishy and your damage easily beats hers. Harass her whenever she gets within range. If she's dumb enough to engage you in cougar form, then punish her.

Irelia: Oh boy, this one is tough. I can't say I've had much luck against Irelias. Her gap-closing is a pain and she has superior sustain. DO NOT engage her until lv 3 (or at least lv 2) flamespitter. Honestly, you will lose an exchange if you do otherwise. The best advice against Irelia is to play passive (I know, completely opposite of Rumble's style) and wait for ganks. Keep your heat above 50 in case she decides to "bladesurge" in. This way, you stand a better chance of coming on top.

Vlad: Easy. You can destroy him pre-6.

Tryn: Not too hard if you kite properly. Start harassing once you get lv 2 flamespitter. Tryns will no doubt fight you thinking they can win. Don't worry. You should come out on top. Of course, there's always the possibility of an unlucky crit.

General tips: 1) Keep heat above 50 when harassing. You are put into dangerous melee range when you decide to harass so assuring maximum damage is a must; 2) Don't harass with lv 1 Flamespitter because it's quite weak; 3) Poke with E! Two rounds of harpoons at 50+ heat will hurt; 4) If your lane is going sour, roam! Even if you aren't farming so well Rumble can pick on squishies with relative ease considering he will likely have a level advantage (assuming you have a solo lane). Netting a few kills can easily turn the game in your favor.
