Just a few things anon.


 * 1: Don't get armor per level seals.  Pure armor seals are better until level 12 iirc, which is about the point your seals don't matter anymore.  You should ALWAYS spec to do well early game, rumble having a weak 1-4 only makes this more true.


 * 2: As a personal preference I prefer AP/level glyphs.  They help you more in lane (They're the exception to the previous rule because they match flat at about level 6), and they are really useful lategame.  Most comps nowadays don't run that much AP, I'd rather pump up my damage with AP/level than get MR/level.  I can always get a abbysal is magic is a problem.


 * 3: Magic penetration quints are workable, but personally I prefer flat AP.  The reason is simple.  15 AP does wonders for rumble, and makes his level 5/6 damage much more potent.  Like I said, you should spec your runes for early game dominance, use items to win lategame.  Besides, penetration quints are mediocre stat wise, they're worth only 2 marks of penetration.  This is compared to Ability Power quints, which are worth 9 marks of Ap (But AP marks REAAAAAAALLY suck).


 * 4: Spell vamp is honestly a fairly mediocre stat on Rumble.  Everything except harpoons are AoE, so gets 35% effectiveness.  What's more, WotA has been repeatedly nerfed to the point where it's no longer a very good item.  I'd grab spell vamp in a high sustain lane (damn you vlad and irelia), but in a teamfight you take no damage until you're focused, then you take a ton at once.  You want health to survive this, a la Rylai's + Liandry's, not spell vamp.  Also, high ratios is a reason to get MORE ap, not less, lol.


 * 5: Don't call a totally viable option a "common mistake", sorc. shoes are fine on rumble.  He does scale well with M-pen due to high base damage and ratios, and honestly, CC doesn't mess him up too bad.  He builds bruiser-ish, and his flamespitter and ult stay up while he's stunned.  You can get tank boots if you're in a hard lane, but 9 times out of 10, I go sorc. shoes, and most of the streamers I see who play as/with/against rumble go sorc. aswell.  Nothing at all wrong with them.
