Tryndamere, why do you still reduce AD with Mocking Shout?

Shouldn't the effect be something a little less... binary? If you're against a mage, Mocking Shout does nothing if it doesn't slow (besides slow TRYN down because of his animation delay).

@Community: What would you replace the AD reduction with?

armor reduction. makes sense, but not sure if that would be too strong or not and it would be useful vs ap champs still.

actually, why not reduction bonus armor by a very small percentage (like 1% per level on W or something) so he can deal with tanks a bit easier and the change wouldn't hurt champs that don't build armor as much since it's bonus armor.

the % amount would still be fairly small so that tanks still could deal with him with armor.

The problem with such a thing is that Tryndamere's W is AOE. If he could reduce all 5 opponent's armor by X% without requiring Black Cleaver, that'd be BROKEN.

Still, armor reduction would work; it just has to be done CAREFULLY.

Well think of it in terms of what the ability is, Trynd is mocking them, this will either demoralize them, reducing damage or enrage them, increasing damage done and taken. If you want it to effect all damage dealt, than it would have to be percentage based, which would make him less oppressive early on, but way more so later on. I personally like where Trynd is at, miles of counterplay, but still able to be impactful on a game without being vayne levels of cancer.
