Meddler, thoughts on Tryndamere?

SSShutTheDuckUp··5 votes·2,728 views

And no, I do not mean your boss, i mean the champion in the game. Do you plan any changes to him as a part of a class update, mini rework (Alistar in the preseason) or some big VGU, Poppy or WW level. Is he even under your radar and if he is - now high in the list? Thanks in advance.

P.S. It is not a question about balance. I cannot talk about his stat balance-wise as I do not really play him and I've seen him in my games maybe once in the last couple of months

I think he needs a VGU at some point. Biggest issue is his gameplay's extremely dependent on split pushing and dueling. That's ok in moderation, but Trynd suffers a bit too much when it comes to team fighting and lacks good means of interaction for many champs when he's split pushing. He'd also benefit from updated visuals, VO, bio etc too of course, he shows his age a bit.

Meddler responds to this but not legitimate grievances?

WTF? Meddler, you make strange choices and I personally preferred the Morello era. I say this with confidence but also respectfully.

Because the thread post was well constructed asking a question that MANY have been posting on the forums for the past couple of weeks, it also gave room to be vague to make sure no actual NDA exposure could happen.

You seem to think your own personal interests are somehow intrinsically more valid than those of other people. I'm curious what evidence led you to that conclusion.

The grand irony, of course, is that by acting self entitled, you actually give other people reason to view your position as less legitimate than everyone else's. By petulantly demanding special consideration, you only manage to convince people to dismiss your arguments as being just as unreasonable as your behavior.

Nope, I value arguments, not "personal interests", I'm not one of you that fails to understand the difference between objectivity and subjectivity.

There's also a reason he's referred to as RNGamere, not to diminish the mechanical skills of those playing him of course, but it's frustrating both both players.

Please tell me it involves changing the way that god damn ult works so it's less annoying or competely removing it. I know it's not Old Poppy's ult level of busted, but it's pretty close.

And thanks for the answer. Any ideas when we could expect some news on him, or how high is he in the VGU list?

Edit: I truly agree with your words, however what you think his role in the game should be? Split pusher? Teamfighter? Lane bully? Late game hypercarry? IMO his current gameplay barely reveals his fantasy of the strong barbarian, furiously attacking and never backing down, surviving with only his rage. Right now he is kinda the opposite - avoiding teamfights, right-clicking on minions and turrets and trying to get away as soon as the enemy team decide to collide on him. With so many room of improvement, as you stated, what kind of gameplay you think will fulfill his fantasy?

Can you see a possible mini-rework (like shyvana, chogath) for him before a full VGU ?
