RIP Tryndamere
Well,
sad times for Tryndamere mains.
You ruined the champ in 7.24, then after some patches and Conqueror he was viable again. Not good, not bad, just average.
After playing about 20 games on 8.11, I guess I pause ranked until you buff him.
His already horrible early game is now completely destroyed by the price increase of stattik shiv/pd. Not like he already gets outtraded by basically every bruiser and tank, not talking of ranged matchups.
It doesnt seem to be much, but it hurts alot.
2nd, new IE is a straight smack gigantic nerf to Tryndamere. I mean, the passive is nice and its nice to have 100% crit with 2 items, I get that. But Tryndamere has 100% Crit ANYWAY with his 3 core items, Shiv/PD, IE and Essence Reaver.
So whats missing? The 50% increased crit damage. The true damage on IE doesnt make up for it. Not only it works only on champions, wich is a nerf to his minion/monster damage, but also its basically useless for killing squishys. Even the difference on tanks is not really noticeable, as he already has 20% True damage from Conqueror. Oh and again, price increase. Old IE was 3400, now its 3700 and its even WEAKER than before. Jesus.
His 2nd most important item also got nerfed, Essence Reaver. It only gives 20CDR now instead of 30, making it less good.
Overall Tryndamere feels super trash right now, his core items are just too damn expensive, it feels like he is completely useless until he has completed atleast PD+IE, wich is 6500 gold combined. And even then he still has 0%CDR, wich is important for him to be relevant.
Not playing trynd anymore right now until Fogged comes up with a new OP build, but I doubt it will happen. Pretty much everything what was good on Trynd, PD, IE and Reaver got nerfed in this patch and he didnt get anything for compensation. I know trynd is not that popular and has a small playerbase, but please dont forget your Tryndamains like fogged, boxerpete, alderiate, kubsar etc.
