Who Wins

Pre-6, Rumble wins most extended trades because his W gives him damage reduction and sustain while his E applies consistent slowing pressure that lets him stick to you; you are extremely vulnerable to his all-in before you have mana management and your E wall to create distance, and your Q stun requires a skillshot he can dodge while overheated.
Post-6, you gain a meaningful power shift: your R combined with E wall and Q stun lets you zone and kite him effectively, and your passive egg denies his kill pressure if he overcommits without ignite or burst follow-up.

Your best trading pattern is to poke with E from max range to stack chip damage, then disengage immediately rather than letting him close the gap and activate W; when he is low enough or overextended, you commit with Q stun into E wall to cut off his escape, then R to lock him in sustained damage.
Never trade in short bursts where his overheat passive deals bonus damage freely — you want long, controlled fights where your R and E wall dictate the geometry.

Push the wave hard with E to maintain priority and avoid being caught in the open where Rumble's E slow and W sustain punish you; a shoved wave forces him to farm under tower, which reduces his ability to all-in you and wastes his short-range kit.
After 6, consider freezing near your tower when ahead to bait him into diving, where your R and E wall create a kill zone he cannot escape.

Do not walk up to last-hit in melee range or stand in his E slow without an escape plan — Rumble's combo is extremely punishing if he catches you flat-footed and you burn your Q into a minion or miss.
Avoid using your egg as a crutch to take risky trades; if he has ignite, your passive will not save you, and dying twice in lane effectively removes your only safety net.
