Teemo, to begin with, is fairly lackluster at a lot of his roles.

Rumble on the other hand, is a giant cunt bag to practically every top lane champion save for a few. Rumble has the most fun with the fragile champions that cannot punish him. Practically EVERY popular mid lane AP is greatly punished by Rumble.

If the Rumble is good, you're probably not going to win against him as Teemo in the mid lane. Try to bait out the Flamespitter and dodge the Harpoons while making use of your inherent agility. Then punish him with a Q or 1-2 auto attacks. [Chances are, Scrap Shield will eat some of this harrass if you don't time it right.]

The most ideal time to secure your win against the Rumble is level 1-2. I pray to god you're running boots + 3 health pots in Mid Lane, otherwise there's a major problem. [Running Doran's Ring is almost always risky, Mana Crystal is crazy unless it's a part of your seamless strategy, Meki Pendant is stupid, and Anti-Magic Cloak is for Galio/Maokai]

Take advantage of your range versus low level Rumble. He has to take Flamespitter or Electro Harpoon and he'll try to use either if you come in to farm or harrass. Auto attack him, Q him, try to get early kills other -- your life as Teemo won't be fun. If you think ganks will kill him, set them up with your jungler. Otherwise, farm -- don't feed, and try to gank as Teemo [or at least set shrooms to provide support for the team or tele points if you're not running flash ignite].
