Does Tryndamere's spilt and flee gameplay match his theme?

Yes it does, rage hard people often flee of danger even when they think they so thug.

Yes it does.

Traditionally, barbarian tactics tended to be pretty simplistic overall - charge, then if the charge fails run away and try to get a terrain advantage and charge again. In the case of Tryndamere, you need to try to find a good moment to jump in, but if you're overwhelmed you run away.

Just because someones a barbarian does not make them mindless, tenno.

It fits his playerbase lol

But seriously, he needs work. For years that's been the only viable strategy to him until he can 3-shot squishy's at 35 minutes (and that's assuming he's hasn't been behind at all). He's a 1-trick pony who needs a healthy niche aside from raging and split-pushing.

It does when you consider that overall the play style of Tryndamere is go berserk on their top lane and crush anyone in your way with ult. The only thing that doesn't fit him thematically is running, but if he has his ultimate like he does in lore, it fits great.

He needs some kind of ms steroid to be able to teamfight (Ghost is good on him, but it's not enough) - even then he will get destroyed: kiting, stuns, slows, exhaust... The only people who try to manfight Trynda are full tanks (while the backline bursts him down). Maybe he is in need of rework, but RIOT cares only about Lee, Vayne, Riven etc and makes even more antimelee, kiting champions + they released Tahm who can eat Trynda every time when he ults for the ultimate BM.

"COWAARRRDS"!!!!! ults away from enemy team

No, but killing the Shaco and Thresh who try to stop you from taking their turret does.

If Tryndamere perfectly fit his theme (one man army unkillable barbarian king who brings entire armies to heel by himself), he'd be late game Poppy. Able to 1v5.

Not every champion needs to perfectly fit their theme. Tryndamere fits his well enough. Skirmishing super duelist who is nearly invincible one on one.

i stopped playing him after they nerfed him hard.

unplayable in a teamfight, only good to split push

It really doesn't suit his theme.

ya

Tryndemere is a mess atm.

Currently his tactic is

"Let the enemy kill me in lane a bunch of times, ignore them and farm. Never leave lane, keep pushing. If someone besides my lane opponent attacks me late game, I tower dive them and kill them, if the entire team catches me top lane, I yolo ult and ignore them, continuing to destroy the towers."

It's like: WTF is he??? He's like a ticking time bomb that eventually reaches your nexus. Isn't he just supposed to be a dude from the freljord?

For a barbarian whose hatred helps him survive even the deadliest wounds you would think he wouldn't be a split pusher- but you also have to understand that if a Tryndamere is fed he can also fight about 2~3 people, or even 5 people if the circumstances allow it.

Nope. He should be a tanky duelist that is stronger as the fight goes on due to his rage instead of a guy who rages then runs like a bitch when you come close
