"Most player perceives Rumble as a lane bully,"

Because he is.

"Rumble's damage is really minimal until he gets some mPen,"

He's been nerfed a lot, so to play Rumble well you need to really manage Heat well. Even so, look at his base numbers for flame sptiter and remember that all he needs to do is face you to deal damage and it costs him nothing to use.

"dont just run when he comes at you, once his shield is down, turn around, its surprisingly easy to push him out of lane really fast"

Why is this hypothetical Rumble player using a shield before his lane opponent has attacked? I used to play Rumble a lot solo top, if someone was playing passively and tried to wait for me to get lazy and use Scrap shield when I didn't need to, then they got zoned out. It made it very simple for me.
