Trundle nerfs are too harsh, I am suggesting this adjust

There is a big Q nerf on PBE right now:

Chomp (Q)

damage lowered from 20/40/60/80/100 to 20/30/40/50/60

AD ratio increased from 100/105/110/115/120% to 100/110/120/130/140%

bonus AD duration lowered from 8 seconds to 5 seconds

Now hear me out, I know only reason Trundle is getting nerfed is because he is contested pick in LCK, but this would actually kill him in solo Q where he is in balanced spot - 50 wr and 7 pickrate, for simple champion like Trundle I think those stats are in a fine spot.

Now let's take a closer look at those nerfs and what you are trying to accomplish

Chomp (Q) damage lowered from 20/40/60/80/100 to 20/30/40/50/60

I think this is fine nerf, you want to force Trundle to buy Trinity Force + Tiamat, rest tanky build, this would cause Trundle to drop out from competitive, because in competitive you usually want a jungler who builds full tank, nobody is going to suddenly start buying Trinity Force on Trundle in competitive if you can go other damage dealer jungler who does his work better.

Next part is AD ratio increased from 100/105/110/115/120% to 100/110/120/130/140%

So AD scaling is a little bit higher but it is not enough. To compensate huge nerf from lost base dmg on Q - which is reduced from 100 to 60 on lvl 5, he would need 150% or 155% AD scaling on Q.

bonus AD duration lowered from 8 seconds to 5 seconds

I don't really understand why is Q buff duration problematic, but again reducing it by 3 seconds is too much.

So after adjusts which I am suggesting Trundle would still be around 50% wr in solo q, but he would most likely stop being picked in competitive since you don't wanna build Trinity Force and Tiamat in competitive on Trundle.
