How I play Tryndamir

TheFallenShaw··2 votes·832 views

I have seen a lot of hate coming my way lately and been on a big winstreak with him. Mostly people shouting OP or easyiest champ in the game. Think I've lost 2 out of the last 12 games I played with him. 1 was due to a ping issue I couldn't help, 2nd was from jug and mid camping top lane. Which I was glad, because that meant that the rest of my team should of had it very easy. I'm in low ello though so naturually that didn't happen. Anyway thought I'd make a post and see if there is anything I could be doing better. I don't believe trydamir to be the easiest champ, nor OP however. He can be out played and kited. His nerf to ult down to 5 instead of 8 seconds hurt a lot. Timing a zed ult pop becomes an act of luck at times. If he has duskblade oh god that sucks.

First off my build

keystone : fervor for battle Runes Armor seals AD marks AS Gliphs AS Quints

total 9 armor 8.5 AD 19.3% AS

Starting Items item 1036 item 2031

Resoning : with my runes this gives me exactly 80AD.

First back item 1053 item 2055 item 1001 to item 3006 if I can afford them

Reasoning : I want the exstra movespeed, lifesteal, and AS to stack up fevor to help farming.

Rushing after item 3144 into item 3087

reasoning : more wave clear and Move speed so I can invade top side jungle for even more farm.

Full build item 3153 item 3087 item 3006 item 3031 item 3036 and usually item 3046

reasoning : Playstyle, I don't go for kills I go for farm and towers. So the 2.01 AS ill have plus the 442 movespeed.

Mentality

Farm is greater than kills Towers are greater than kills Enemy jungle camps are greater than kills

Playstyle

I start by raceing to get my fury to max at the beginning of the game. I take out 4 minions off the first wave then go in on my enemy. Walk in on him I might add not spin. My objective on this first fight is clear not to kill but to hurt and spin back out threw the minions getting level 2 on the way.

I then go back to farm mode, thining the wave out and keeping my fury up pushing it into his tower, soon as it hits his tower I spin out and back or clear scuttle then back.

Coming back into lane using spins to speed it up I should have a vamp captor and boots atleast. This is usually when I get my first kill as he will be pushed into my tower by this point on average this is what happens. I repeat the first process killing if able this time. When pushed back under his tower this time I back off into the enemy jungle and steal a camp. Returning to lane once the wave resets.

My goal threw all of this is to 1 put my enemy laner behind in farm, 2 get me ahead in farm, and 3 put the enemy jungler behind. Once I back the 3rd time I go for the tower. I should have shiv built and partial bork. I don't finish bork until after I finish IE though I may buy the top two compants. This is because on the 4th or 5th buy ill have IE Bork Shiv Boots completed before 25mins. Maybe even have Last whiper done by this point and two towers down.

By this point in the game, the enemy team useually has to decate resources to stopping me. I useually use all chat to bait top lane and jungle into fighting each other this match. By saying something like Sorry your top lane is so bad jug, feels bad man. The flaming I'm doing is to try and cause mental instability against my enemys as people have said arguing tilts. I continue to push top hard unless another lane is open with none of my team there. This is because I want them to come after me and I'm confident I can escape with trydamirs kit. I finish phantom dancer before turning last whiper into lord dominics because I only wanted the armor pent % for my borks on hit damage, plus now Its more dangerious as I'm pushing so deep the 5% ms it grants is more vital than ever. The AS and crit chance also mean i'm not hitting a tower for as long.

That pretty much explains how I play Trydamir. Let me know if theres anything I can do better I'm bronze 4 after all recently ranked up using this strat.

I think in your elo, as long as u build Crit and Attack Speed, it matters little what you build... Trynda is the same thing with Yi, Kat, etc... they all get called "easiest champ aliveeee", because ppl in broze rarely go for what counters them... heavy CC...

About the psycological attempt on the enemy... be careful, because when typing to make them tilt, you might actually dont pay attention to the gamefor a second or two that could be game changing...

But in the overral, your mindset is on the right track... Trynda is a split push god because he takes towers quickly, is a good dualist and is not that easy to kill... So yeah, push like there's no tomorrow and make the enemy team focus you... Just remember to ward... it is not because u can easily walk away from that surprise Zac gank, that you should not be warding all the time... if you can, try placing wards deep inside their jungle, so not only you, but your whole team can see when the enemy jg comes to the topside of the jg

usually typing to them during my way back into lane so that 1-2 seconds don't matter as much. Only bad thing i feel about it is if dragon is on the other side i really can't help to much.

Not easiest champ, just incredibly unhealthy.

You either have someone who can 1v1 him or you have really strong hard engage and waveclear, otherwise you lose.

If you have to send more than 1 person back to stop his split, you get engaged on 3v4. If you don't have waveclear you can't outpush him.

Just a stupid design that forces you to play in a really frustrating way.

Actually only takes 1. if they have CC. Its just that most people in low ello don't know how to plan ahead for fights. Tryda is all about planning a head. Before he even takes the fight if he wants to have any chance he has to build fury up. a tryda without fury is like an annie without mana useless. So you punish him while he builds it up to win.

People simply don't understand that concept if hes hitting minions you hit him. then he's to weak to engage on u, or forced to waste fury to heal up.
