Has anyone tried the new Ice Gauntlet on Rumble yet? While the mana is completly wasted (thats a 1k gold loss?) the passive makes Rumble an area denial machine. Since Rumble can spam spells at no cost he can constantly form a slow field. Coupled with Liandry's passive (10% max hp on slowed enemies) and Rylais Rumble can output a near ape constant slow with massive HP% based magic damage. Add in the natural slow from the equalizer and harpoon and Rumble will be a very scary champ late game. The added armor and ap is also a bonus.

Problem is that Rumble can't use Ice Gauntler's components. Shroud and Sheen are much less effective with the mana attached to them, so maximizing slot efficency would mean chunking 3.4k gold at once. With Liandry, Abyssal, and Rylais already taking it's toll on Rumble's budget it'll be hard to even reach the point where the gauntlet can actually be bought.

Also how do players feel about Aegis and later Bulwark on Rumble as his only pure defense item? The stats on it are really good, and couple well with his free shield.The only other source of mixed resistances is GA. But GA isn't too helpful with Rumble's all in style of combat (a Rumble does not have the escape mechanisms to survive post revive unless his opponents are bad).
