Not necessarily. Pre-6 his early game is somewhat weak unless he gets an early revolver or guise. He gets screwed over by strong early level champs, the most notable are good Jarvan, Xin Zhao, and Jayce players as both utilize their knockbacks/ups to turn Rumble around and mitigate all Flamespitter damage, along with stronger damage than other people with similar utility like Singed and Volibear. Yorick just stomps all tops, and in some cases Riven, Jax, Nidalee, Kennen, can beat him but require smart plays, the most important is not stepping in Rumble's flames, and all of the champions I just listed have the utility to do so.
