I don't mind Trynda when he is a rare sight, but when his playrate raises he needs to be dealt with

Title.

I don't mind Trynda when he is a champion played by some diehard onetricks that I see once in a while, his playstyle, while braindead, can be somewhat refreshing when it is a rare sight - you know, something not great but something different.

But when one in each 4-5 games of mine is turned into a completely braindead "sidelane matchfest" I feel like I have to protest.

Other splitpushers have mechanics you can outplay, can fall behind hard or have no escape mechanics - even Yasuo and Fiora, I hate their guts, but they can give you an exciting duel, so they are at least not as boring to face as Tryndamere. Champions I play Yorick Illaoi don't always feel fair, I completely get that, but at least they have skillshots and windows of opportunity you can abuse, and no escape mechanics.

Meanwhile Trynda just feels like lost 30 minutes - either your team is doing OK enough that you can match him, or they are not. Hot gameplay.

Either nerf him back to 0.5 - 1% playrate, or give him some mechanics to play around - he can keep his ult for all I care, but make SOMETHING in his kit that would give even a hope for outplay. I'd say he is a "braindead rightclick champion" but that doesn't even convey all the truth, I mean the guy doesn't even have to click to debuff you or manage a resource to outsustain you, see Jax is a rightclick champion and you can somewhat play around him.

thanks in advance Rito

I dont mind Tryn if he didnt have his 'I win" button

Does not matter how you out play him. If you dont have a 1.5s+ Stun and he has Ult, he will win.

I like how the comments agree but the post is downvoted to hell. Trynd mains coming out of the woodworks here.

Tryn needs to be gutted and left to rot until he gets reworked. But since balance team doesnt care about game health we have to deal with him and wait until mid season for Riot to deal with him.

Meanwhile if Amumu is "OP" he is nerfed next patch

I don't really care about Tryn, but this is crazy.

A few hours ago this post was positive ~20 upvotes. It is now down nearly -40. What the hell happened?

Tryn army? Downvote bots?

So tryndamere is a braindead right click champion that needs nerfs because of his playrate but numerous beginner friendly adcs with literally 10x his pick rate are fine? Those champions can also see pro play, trynd doesn't.

Hes not even good right now.

Trynda is only good in gold and below... similar to Yi and Darius.

I kinda hate that the way to deal with Tryn after laning phase is to just not interact with him at all and just run it down mid and maul his team in a 5v4. There's no champ that can match him unless he straight up fed his ass off early game, and even then, you can't kill him cuz he runs away with ult.

He's the literal definition of a noninteractive champion.

The reason why he isn't picked in pro is because pros are way better at managing waves and lanes and taking advantage of unbalanced teamfights. The average player does not know how to deal with those things.

You can blame fogged for the increase in tryn players,

Hes possibly best tryn world, and hes only getting more popular.

also unpopular opinion, tryn isnt that good if u kite him or dont let him free farm.

Once Tryndamere gets nerfed or rework I'll just play another op champion. Probably Renekton! Or Master Yi top. Master Yi top is fun. Hoping Trynd doesn't get touch for another two years though. He's my 1 trick and there is counters to him.

He needs a VGU... Since Kayle was released, he was probably the one the most in need. Even if Pantheon Fiddlesticks andVolibear deserved their VGU, they could have survived without one for a bit more... Meanwhile Tryn is just the embodiement of what riot ''tries'' to get rid of in kits : No true weakness, no counterplay, nothing except his R is relatable to his lore, no skill expression etc. He is the new stat check, but now it's a stat check against a whole team. Irelia main reason for her VGU was her stat check nature and failed potential. Guess who fits the spot now.

Shyvana Shaco Quinn Nocturne Jax Chogath DrMundo should also get VGUs but at least their kit is fair/fine to play as and against... Tryn is just tryn. Just a giant team Stat-check.

I much prefer playing against Tryndamere over Fiora. At least you can Itemize against Trynd. Fiora just does your whole health bar as true damag :(

Trynd is a pain no lie, but honestly, if you're playing a comp that doesn't have enough CC to waste his ult, that's on you. It's the same reason people think Yi is OP, they lack CC to manage him. There's no reason to not have stun, slow, or snare on your team in this age of league. With objective fighting and drag so vital, it's suicide the higher you climb to not take it.

But when one in each 4-5 games of mine is turned into a completely braindead "sidelane matchfest" I feel like I have to protest.

5% pick rate backed by his massive sub 50% winrate, truly an abomination that will destroy you every 4-5 games lmao

I mean tbh tryndamere is quite good right now but he does actually take way more skill both mechanically and game knowledge wise than you would think, sure some trynd will just smack you on the head in silver and win but to actually play him at a decent level can be hard.

there are better pooshers than trynd to be honest you should counter by picking one of these in draft.

yeahno Tryn is amazing and only the likes Yasuo players hate him which is quite ironic. As evergreen as it gets, alongside Renekton.
