Tryndamere needs a rework

CollectiveFury··7 votes·2,665 views

Rework his rage bar so that he gains 2 rage from attacking (down from 5), 2 rage from critting (down from 5), 5 range from killing a unit (down from 10) but give him 2 fury for taking damage from a minion and 4 fury for taking damage from a champion (does not count against AoE damage).

This will give him counterplay as the other players can simply ignore him to help keep his bar low.

Spinning slash should not lower its cooldown when getting a crit. A fed trynd is unstoppable outside of champions chain CC'ing him, and that's if they weren't killed by the enemy team and PLEASE THINK OF THE BRONZIES, WE CANNOT COORDINATE OK? All those crit strikes mid+ game and the sticking power from his spinning slash is too hard for normal players to deal with, especially squishies who are skillshot-reliant.

Rework Tryndamere so that his ult decreases to the same duration as a Kayle ult, maybe give him a shorter CD on his ult to compensate. This gives more counterplay other than "find some way to stall him for 5 seconds and be sure he doesn't E out".

EDIT: OK the R rework was a bit harsh, so to be even more interesting give his R the normal 5 second duration - BUT as soon as he would have hit 0 health to reduce the duration to 2 seconds from that point (whichever runs out sooner).

We should give him a knock-up ability even if it makes no sense on his kit. To fit the current theme.

I just think his ult is bogus. Win the trade? Ult and spin away

Lose the trade? He'll tower dive you.

Tryndamere is among the most 3 toxic champions in this game currently, and has been for a long time. I'm just glad he's not more popular than he is because literally all you have to do is sit top lane the entire game and push the lane and kill towers. it's almost impossible for a non-coordinated solo queue team to deal with him. Luckily, 1) he's not that popular and 2) when he is picked, you can tell his team members usually try and peer pressure him into joining team fights which is exactly what the enemy team wants.

  1. Pick Trynd
  2. Build item 3087 item 3153 item 3031
  3. Never leave top lane except to buy/steal red/blue
  4. Win game
  5. ???

You could've had a really cool tank berserker theme going there with that passive change.

Good sentiment. Bad ideas. Though I like the passive idea. Scratch the others and try again.

he's meant to be a melee carry, and compared to the other ones (Yasuo MasterYi Riven Fiora ) he is heavily gated due to his lack of mobility and how easy he is to kite.

The only one of that bunch that gives me a hard time is Yasuo. Yi is easily bursted, Fiora needs to win lane which is impossible for her in some matchups like Shen.

Riven is a mess to deal with but I would not compare her against Trynd as she takes way more skill to do well with. There are enough bad Rivens because of it.

The only way to do badly as Tryndamere is to build him wrong, otherwise it's right-click, press R and AFK for five seconds. U guess Fiora is similar in the "press R then AFK" scheme but Fiora is easier to deal with overall.

the point im trying to make is that tryndamere is limited to splitpushing compared to other melee carries, which can split or be highly valuble in teamfights.
