Never ever say that you should buff this guy. In ranked, I have never lost solo top with him even once; not to say that I'm the best player, but because of this guy's kit. Start with boots and 4 pots, and you'll have the sustain you need until hextech. Play safe until around lvl 5, when you can REALLY start bullying your opponent. While his early game is not great from 1-4, his kit makes it safe enough so he can survive then (kiting and poke potential). Moreover, it's not as horrendous as say Poppy or Nasus, and his late game, albeit not as destructive, is godlike. His ult is a great displacement tool and deals TONS of damage. W and Q with the bonus damage will literally wreck the opposing carry into nothing (Rylai's slow ensures he won't get away). It's not even funny how much damage he can do. If you were to buff Rumble's early game, that means you would make someone who is strong early/mid/late without any repercussions. He has the highest win rate of all champions in ranked (though few know that), and is just extremely potent at where he is right now. I would instead actually have a nerf, making the base damage on Q a bit lower by a tad to hinder his amazing damage output.
