Riot, We need to talk.

My name is Jim, I started playing league of legends november of 2018, and have been a Tryndamere main since then. And I want to talk about it, Even though maybe this will reach no one and will be lost in the forum board, I still feel the need to take it out.

  • Riot, what are your plans with melee crit users? (Well, the two of them. Focusing on Tryndamere specially) Ever since the most recent conqueror rework, tryndamere has been in a bad spot for the top lane, getting to the point of having an aggravating winrate of only 45% (according to op.gg NA) and being ranked 49th out of 52 The worst champions to play in the toplane, thanks to his unique style of playing which difers mostly from other toplaners that are in the meta, gutting the possibilities of actually playing and climbing with this character.
  • New conqueror was bad for tryndamere, and now after the Mid season patch, its even worse, the damage was diminished to the point the rune is no longer viable for the type of champion IT was supposed to be the best on (Remember when you said Conqueror was going to be a BRUISER rune? but then changed so other ranged characters and mages could abuse it as well, forcing you to nerf it and leave out one of the champions that depends on it the most to deal with Tanks and carry with his nonexistencial winrate in the current meta)
  • What will Tryndamere and Yasuo users do with this new rune which is no longer good on melee crit bruisers? Dont get me wrong, yasuo could still use it, but its subobtimal and its probably going to go back to the PTA and FF for main rune, why? why are we forced to do this? avoiding our own rune to go into something that was clearly NOT designed for us, it just doesn't fit the concept. -One could say that its balanced because of the crit items revert, but if yo udo, you clearly dont main toplane. Imagine this scenario, you're a tryndamere going against a sion top with grasp, if you dont get a kill before 2 backs from him, you wont be able to kill him ever without conqueror, you just dont have enough true damage to penetrate his health stacking with resistances, he'll just get a randuins, frozen heart, tabis and boom, there goes the lane, you're useless for the rest of the game because you cant split against the tank (Since they took the true dmg from IE, it no longer makes your dueling better against tanks). So you're forcing us to take conqueror when the rune is not favorable for anything else since the damage nerf.

Please Riot Games, either Rework Tryndamere completely or Just bring the true damage back somehow. i'll leave a post down bellow so people can vote on what could be considered a better solution, thanks for sticking so far. Stay safe on the rift.

I hate Tryndamere and his afk split gameplay. I hate his RNG passive that makes me fear for my life because MAYBE at level 2 he gets a crit on me for 1/3rd my health. I hate his damned ult that never goes off when I press R at <200 health but always goes off for enemy trynds. More than that, I hate how hard he scales.

With all that being said, they kneecapped him and he needs compensation. The stupid new Conq was a massive buff to certain champs and a horrible nerf to others. Tryndamere now sits with draven in the boat of having no optimal, extremely synergistic runes.

What he needs most though is a rework to give him room for more interactive gameplay, which will in turn give his kit more room for extra power to be padded in. His kit is simply getting too old; he's the definition of a statsticker.

Yea. im a tryndamere main too. i have above 1 mil Tryndamere mastery points. and i stopped playing him from yesterday. my problem isnt tanks. tryndamere problem is with new conqueror its actually unplayable if u are against any bruiser. because they can proc their conqueror so much faster then u that u cant even think to trade with them. even irellia that used to be tryn favor matchup actually counters tryndamere this patch!!! we all Know Fogged right? he is best tryndamere in NA. i literally saw him in his best performance he actually got outscaled by a Renekton !!!! renekton used to be a lane bully early and getting outscaled late game. but now renekton actually outscales both tryndamere and JAX !!! because he can proc his conquerer in1 sec and burst u to force ult late game before u even get to auto him and then he just waits and laugh at u when u are not damaging him and then kills u LATE GAME. riot really needs to do somthing about that not only for tryndamere. its about conqueror it ruined every outscales and anything. its now just who can proc his conqueror faster. and Tryndamere's Q,w,ult doesnt deal damage so he has to actually hit his E and auto 4 times to get 5 stacks. but renekton? press QWEE and boom 5 stacks. irellia? R E Q Q boom 5 stacks. i mean cmon riot. Think a little bit. what is this?

Tryndamere cannot be good. His play style is so lineiar that he just can’t be. If he’s ever good it’s due to him lacking any real counterplay.
