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.
