What is Tryndamere?

SaucyPaws··1 votes·1,277 views

I've never had such an issue with Tryndamere until literally this past month with the new season even though I know nothings exactly changed in his kit or anything. But Riot talks about expunging "toxic" ideals and "anti-fun" content in their game, yet somehow... certain elements are allowed to stay for way longer than they should. I.E Ap Yi, Feral flare release, darius release, etc. And well I think tryn is one of them. How exactly are you supposed to outplay a tryndamere who can crit you level 1 twice in a row for 250 damage each hit?

How is that fun? How can you outplay or better that kind of champion/character? Granted I was playing diana top but it was normals/blind so how was I supposed to know that yet again I'm going against a champion that is allowed to dive at level 6, and smash me out even if I 1, flash to the opposite side of the tower, and dash to the next side just so he gets enough agro and I can get away. Like wheres the tryn rework?

I get it. You need easy champs. But at least other easy champs say, Garen? Can die. Give me a break. Tryn is an Melee adc who is invulnerable. Does that not sound toxic? Thoughts. Had to Rant. I've been playing for 4 years now and this just gets annoying that some players abuse these lame, cheap ways of play. Like split pushings cool. Yah go for it. Fizz, shyv, even Yi. But Tryn? Just a bullshit kit.

Trynd's weakness is CC. He's currently the only champ I play in the jg, and I can generally not have a large impact on teamfights despite how farm-fed I am. Why? I almost kill someone, they flash away, I get hit with 4 types of CC, my ult wears off, and I die.

You could say CC counters just about everyone (with a few exceptions). But yes, in Tryndamere's case, it's worse for him because CC makes him waste time on his ultimate.

Tryndamere also tends to go glass cannon due to his ultimate, so if he engages at a bad angle, he'll have to burn it instantly or die instantly to burst. Don't give him good engage angles and he'll have to go through a tank to reach you.

Irelia Orly?

Tenacity does not work on knock-ups and knock-backs. But yes, Irelia is resistant.

Edited the line to say "with a few exceptions".

But CC in general does not counter Irelia, only knock-ups and knock-backs do.

i dont know why its an issue that they can turret dive and YOU KNOW they can do it its so obvious what tryn's plan ever is tryndamere exploits your greed, of course you want to kill him, hes got 1 hp... but the odds are hes gonna wreck you run away from him but stay close enough to reengage after his ult ends its not every situation where you can rely on trying to out play the other guy sometimes you just have to suck it up, the guy does whwat he does and you're champion lacks a kit to counter play him so you are forced to be wary

"just run away, lol"

because it's not like he has an ability that slows the movement of champions with their backs to him. or an ability that speeds him up.

people do it all the time, its fairly easy to do it in lane and in team fights and oly gets alittle harder when u get caught out in a skirmish

Nah, who needs CC? He spins in, someone hits him once or twice so he has to ult, he gets exhausted and can't kill anyone. Someone ignites him if it looks like he is going to spin away, or just kills him when his ult ends and he has no HP. There is a reason every team always has an exhaust. And you know what his skills do, so expect him to use them.

Want him to be even sadder? Someone buys a Frozen Heart. Or pops a Randuins Omen on him and whoever he spun at uses one of the billion dashes in the game to get away.

That out of the way, blind pick is stupidly imbalanced in a lot of ways. Every game is a coin flip to see if you hard counter your opponent, or they hard counter you, or maybe you will get a good matchup. Ever picked a melee top into a Jayce or Quinn? Feels like complete bullshit. Or played against Kat with a low CC team? What about played as Kat against a Fiddle/Blitz team? Ashe into Morgana? Shaco into Lee? Trynd can blind pick into Malphite or Jax or a jungle Rammus or a double exhaust comp and just get dumped on.

That said, if you haven't figured out how to deal with Tryndamere after 4 years, I don't know what game you have been playing. Heck, I don't know how you got to Plat without knowing how to deal with Trynd. If he is so 'easy', go get challenger with him and come back.

I love Smiting Tryndamere players because of that ult. I dislike players growing balls because they have gained some survivability from a ult.
