  His animations are just janky tbh, I think someone else said this, I hate fighting him, worse than QS imo.

  It’s the signature ability. It grants him a potent Physical Resistance passive plus a Reinforce passive

  Rhulk should be tagged offensive burst or raw damage because his primary damage isn’t DOT

  Many years ago, back when Rhulk was tagged, Offensive: DoT meant that he was a champion who inflicted a substantial proportion of his damage using a mechanism that wasn't just 'Hit' damage.
  
  At that time in the game, there were few if any champions whose main damage type was what we'd call "Damage Over Time" (bleed/Degen/whatever). You wouldn't see data like with Chee'ilth or Vox, who inflict 50-60% of their damage as DoT.
  
  I agree that with the slow shift of game language over time, these days he'd be more accurately characterised as a Raw Damage champion.
