So, I've been experimenting with Trundle support

One game, i ended up having to trundle supp because of a miss communication with the team in champ select.

So I just tried to play him as a tanky peeler for my adc. I maxed my pillar, and i build 40% cdr asap to have pillars every 6 seconds.

I will say that it went better than expected. Pillars are amazing peel and great for engage as well.

What do you all think about Trundle as a support?

The bots try out Trundle support from time to time. It never really seems to go well for them though.

outside of annie bot... nothing they ever try to do works out well for them.

Brand Cassiopeia bot would like to have a word with you

That's not always the case. When the bots send Lux or Zyra top lane they usually keep the top laner in check until either a successful gank or the roaming phase. Or a disconnect.

how many games have you tried of this, if it was just this one then i would of just chalk it up to luck. You can't run a experiment by doing something once and getting favorable results.

I am going to try it more.

Wanted to hear some opinions or see if anyone else has been doing this.

Trundle support does have some nice passive sustain and the pillar is a good setup for a gank. If the jungler never ganks early I don't see it working all that great.

Never tried it but it sounds like fun.

Pretty much any champ in the game in some fashbcion can support. People think anything beyond typical supports is trolling. And if u die some how it's your fault like if you were such and such champ you wouldn't of died please get out of hear.

Well, Trundle is more suited for a top lane position. Coupled with natural tankiness and sustain, he belongs by himself. Trundle is pretty much the King of Duelers, and should be treated as such. A single slow that you can walk out of rather quickly, at least to me, doesn't make him a support.

Considering Trundle's Kit, I'd think he'd be really good against the more tanky style supports like Braum and Leona. In 2v2 fights, he Ult's the enemy support, then Q's the enemy ADC, then starts walloping as much as he can. I'd think he'd be more a counter pick than a core support, but I'd say it's worth it.

Maybe try adc Trundle? =)

I tried this in Season 4 due to me wanting to try something stupid in the botlane, and for some reason my team was fine with me trying it.

It didn't work out well, but that was probably because I wasn't playing it properly. I was playing it more like I was playing Trundle top, and you can't really do that in a duo lane and without getting any CS. I was maxing pillar first, but the rest of the time I was playing far too aggressively for a melee support with no gapclosers.

I should try this again.

He's an interesting kill lane support. But you should probably max Q. Bite the enemy carry, then bop them. You will win trades. :D

reducing the CD of E is vital though.
