Tryndamere Low Elo God?

WitchQueen Annie··1 votes·1,993 views

I just played 3 Tryndamere Norms yesterday and won, despite having no real practice at the champ.

I "lost" lane in 2 of the games but still won just by the sheer amount of OP map pressure against towers once you farm the following: item 3087 item 3031 item 3153.

I feel like at low elo, no one has the coordination to stop you if you know how to Split and Float so essentially, picking Tryndamere puts the enemy team on a time bomb. Doesn't matter if they win lane or you lose lane (though if you win lane, you DEFINITELY snowball)... once you have 2 to 3 items... they won't be able to stop you from taking the towers and/or being a generally annoying guerrilla fighter.

Also... "he has no team fight." Yeah right. I grouped up too and basically acted as a frontline (without a single tank item). I was more relevant then an actual assassin because the minute I spin in and get 2 to 3 autos... the carries die. At 3 items I have more reliable burst than a Zed.

I was hitting a tower (not fed, but had my 3 damage items)... Rengar jumps at me (same level) and starts attacking me. I ignore him and destroy the tower while hitting Ult near the end. He's 100 and I'm 33 when the tower is down. I turn around and auto him. We BOTH die.

Tryndamere... the only champion that can go 0/15/4 in lane and still win by splitting.

THEORETICALLY all they have do is assign 1 fully armoured Tank goon to follow you 24/7 to stop you from taking towers (it works for most of the game). But even then in low elo, most people who win their lane against you (if they mange to do so) will then go off to team fight. Then when they come back they are like... "Wait my towers are gone?????"

Try team fighting with him in higher ELO's as you want to kys as you get kited and CCed. His team fight is pretty bad, but not as bad as people say it is.

If you want more of a team fight build, go:item 3046 item 3087 item 3071 item 3156 item 3812 with choice boots item 3111 item 3047 item 3158

Can go either item 3812 or item 3153 dependign on the situation, but i generally go death's dance unless there is a lot of HP to get through and I need the active.

item 3139 is a good pickup if you are finding you are being chain CCed.

I very rarely actually build item 3031

Botrk is actually better aspecially that his passive is now good against squishy targets even more than against tanks.

Death's dance gives CDR though and makes you tankier. There are situations where death's dance is better, like you are laning against jax, yasuo, etc and want dueling power. Between death's dance and phantom dancer passives, you are very hard to duel.

The same with master yi, kayle, Annie, Vladimir there are a lot of champions that are Gods of low elo and do not require skill, except that master yi, vlad and kayle are also op in higher elo.

Trynd is at least possible to counter in early and you can always cc him.

I don't know how useful CC is against him when he's just going to watch the mini map and go for towers whenever there's a chance knowing he can simply spin away.

If you want to CC him in team fights, again, he chooses when he wants to fight and when he doesn't. And unless its a Silence, he can still Ult. He's probably the front line in a team fight so your still having to tie down resources to deal with him when said CC could instead have been fired at carries maybe.

Play him some more and you'll find more of his weaknesses. You obviously need to play him more if you think silences stop his ult.

A Little plot Twist, he can ult even silenced xd Even suppress can't stop him.

Lots of things are strong in low ELO. This is because players rarely exhibit a lot of things that make opponents like Tryndamere less intimidating.

Doesn't Nasus generally work as a response to hard-hitting melee?

I murdered stomped a Nasus 2 days ago in normals with Trynd and that was without a level 1 Ignite cheese kill. At 3 items we traded blows and I out damaged him by just right clicking.

You can zone him the hell out early.

Now that I've learned the level 1/4 Ignite cheese, Nasus will probably be one of the easier champs in low eloes to cheese (since he'll focus on Q-ing minions and can't really trade back early).

Huh. I thought Wither would pretty much put him down.

Maybe someone like Quinn would be better? Hard CC should put Trynd in his place. Since he only really has the slow and the spin, hard mobility would also probably keep him down. Some way to reliably slow too, maybe.

Urgot?

He has "poor team fight" yet when the enemy engages or when your team engages... the enemy has to worry about an un-killable thing spinning in with BORK, 2/3 shotting their carries.

He's obviously a better split pusher than team fighter but its a myth that he can't team fight or that his team fight is god awful.
