The secret to lane dominance I've found is to blow out all the stops and repeatedly charge in with guns blazing, shield up, harpoons at the ready, and... yup... systems in overheat. Between the overheat AA damage, flamethrower DOT, harpoon slows and super shield, you're usually way too threatening for people to want to stick around and fight face to face. Which is good, because Rumble is more fragile early game than he looks and if people actually stood up for themselves and fought back you might have to turn tail and back off... where your autoattacks and flamethrower spam are wasted and you become basically harmless.

In otherwords, the secret is to act so threating that it doesn't even cross peoples' minds that you might not be... because if they decided you weren't threatening and acted accordingly, then you wouldn't be after all.
