Tryndamere's in a poor spot

Figured I'd share some of my thoughts of the current state of top-lane and my experience playing with tryndamere at low diamond-mid plat elo.

About me: 3 year veteran league player, with thousands of Tryndamere games played.

Tryndamere sucks right now. Tryndamere's laning phase is so godawful right now ever since the rework to Conqueror. Since the rework, tryndamere's ability to trade in lane has never been so weak.

Every other champion in the game is able to outrade out dps tryndamere in the laning phase. I've tried using different runes, builds, strats but I'm not getting good results or just plain breaking even.

Tryndamere used to be a hyper-carry type champion but now with the current meta hes just an outdated, under appreciated, forgotten champion being dragged through the mud at almost every turn. Despite this, I love playing him, and will continue to do so.

Every game turns out to be a "farm and play safe and pray my team doesn't feed so that I can scale". Thats usually how most of my games go. Early game look to farm, hardly ever trade wait for the enemy to make a mistake and make a move on it.

Possible solutions: rework conqueror, have Tryndamere's W (mocking shout) count as a conqueror stack if landed successfully.
