What makes Rumble dangerous

Rumble roasts you with a flamethrower (Q), shields and speeds up (W), slows with harpoons (E), and in "Danger Zone" (50-100 heat) everything hits harder. His ultimate drops a wall of missiles that zones or wins entire teamfights. He wins most melee trades with sustained burn.
