1. His E animation is quite slow, and it's quite easy to dodge as well. It'll hardly hit you in lane. Unless he's flashing on to you and you have no hard cc to stop him... then sucks for you and your team comp.

2. A spammable shield? It's up every 6 seconds (like Riven's shield), and building cdr on him is bad b/c then you overheat faster. Moreover, the shield is neglible, and the ms boost, while a bit high, makes you travel nowhere in the amount of time for the shield. Not gonna mention that when you're in a teamfight at +50 heat, this is a spell that does no damage and makes your heatbar go up. So you have to choose between more damage vs. maneuvarbility.

3. About that overheating. If you want maximum damage in a team fight, you're above 50 heat. Then that means you can use 1 ability, wait 1 second, and use another ability to reach 90 heat and still not overheat. Essentially maximum times you'll use flamethrower is twice, and then you're silenced for six seconds. While you can control the overheating, it limits your damage output quite seberly.

4. Banned or fp in every single game? Really. That assumption is false. I main Rumble, and he's not banned or fp in every game. Look at solo queue streams from Scarra, etc. I don't see Rumble being banned or fp in every game.

5. If you want to beat him, go use fucking wukong or someone who counters him. Wukong's ult knocks up so his flamespitter doesn't do the full emount, can position while doing it (i.e. getting out of ult), and out damages him b/c he has more burst. Irelia can lane well vs. him, a good olaf will know how to play, and Jax can wreck post 6. Someone who's naturally tanky like chogath also has an easy time to freefarm.
