Winning top lane = Preventing your enemy from farming or otherwise earning money. You, unlike mid, cannot roam. There is no support to help you, and your jungler isn't so nice to you every game.

Therefore, anyone who prevents Rumble from farming (usually mages like Malzahar) counters him.

Riven vs. Rumble has always been this way. I still don't notice any difference in Flamespitter's functionality. Placing wards to prevent the enemy jungler from ruining your lane is kind of important, so what's your reasoning behind the special mentioning of 'placing wards' vs Riven?
