Playing vs Tryndamere is a treat from the Riot overlords

I have to say, whenever I see Tryndamere picked I know im in for a teat of a game. A game where no matter if Im ahead or behind, I am going to be forced into my lane and waiting for the Tryndamere as he afk split pushes. The best part however, is the rare care where I am behind. Oh boy is it fun to open my death card and see:

Basic attack - 2196 Spinning slash - 217

At that moment I know personally I lost due to my own short comings, I should have played better, he was better at the game than me. Good on you Tryndamere, for Auto attacking to death and occasionally clicking R.

Notice how I said 'in the rare case' meaning that every once in a while game where the Tryndamere will get a double crit on his first two attacks then proceed to use the BALANCED summoner spell ignite and 3 more autos for first blood. And by that time the lane is basically lost. Lord knows if he hits level 6 first Im just gonna get tower dived by him.

Yes and sadly later you need to be like 2 waiting him because he can easily dive 1 and kill them

Good thing Riot will never touch him because he's "niche" and is based on one of their employees.

Gotta love that braindead bias...

Welcome to balance team that said we don't want RNG in game, yet level 1 trade can be lost cause he got a lucky crit chance.

I hate how theres no counterpöay to him... Even with yi you can CC him but you cant do that with Trynda because he can ult at all times -.-

tryndamere gets left alone meanwhile they're reworking ryze several times, reworking champions that need it way less than tryndamere, it makes no sense.

It's actually surprising considering that he's non-existent in the game right now and he's extremely abusable at a decent level.

I loved top when I started League (season 2). All top lane champs were just so fun.. Old Irelia <3

Now?

Tryndamere Aatrox Sion Urgot Rengar

I hate these "things"

I literally cannot play top anymore cuz I either get "cheesed" by Urgot, or get camped by jungler, or both. it's just so NOT fun.

Trynda isn't the problem, the problems are: 1 - The Runes. 2 - item 3031 with True Damage and x2 to Crit chance. 3 - The nerfs to the tank items (less health, more armor wich is useless vs True Damage). 4 - Too much damage in this season. Trynda is fine, don't blame him.

tryndamere is brain dead? you should fucking rename yourself to boso because you are a clown if you think tryndamere's Melee microgame is not the most intensive of any melee champion in all of League of legends.

holy shit

go and try to play Tryndamere at any rank above diamond, and watch how it feels if you go even in Lane, watch how it feels when you're behind in Lane and then try to talk to me about fucking Tryndamere. tell me how to orchestrate a fucking split push on Tryndamere and use his undying passive, tell me about it I'm very curious to hear your fucking input.

"oh im plat 5 with a 51% win rate on na"

I'm really curious to know about your understanding of Tryndamere and how fucking his micro goes inside of the laning phase because of your experience

"I played Tryndamere a few times once or twice and vs a diamond top laner once it wasn't that bad, even though the diamond top player didn't know what he was doing, but hey you know i felt pretty good i was able to animation cancel at a hundred fury you know very often, i was able to control his rage bar and press q at the correct time! and i played trynd perfectly even at a high skill match"

NO YOU FUCKING DIDN'T, YOU'RE IDIOTIC YOU HAVE NO FUCKING CONCEPT OF TRYNDAMERE, HOLY SHIT, YOU CRIT WITH 20% FURY IN PLAT 5 CONGRATS TAKE THIS DUNCE CAP, IF THAT COUNTS FOR CREDIT,

like the credit you go when you're like fucking 10 years old or some shit and you lose at fucking game at the fucking carnival and everyone is staring at you and feels bad for you and give you one ticket, and you go up to collect your prize and point to the big teddy bear and they say, Sorry kid and they hand you this fucking plaque that says good job and it's like framed and they put that on your wall as a reminder that you weren't good enough

okay holy shit I'm so done

Sadly , It isn't easy as you say , and Tryndamere above Diamond level has hard life , since he is soo easy to counter , you just Pick any ranged top laner with cc or even meele toplaner with cc and disengage like poppy, darius or Aatrox , and you just kite him whenever he goes for a farm , and if he is trying to fight you back , you just use your minions , he has soo little range.

Just force 5v4 fights when trynd is afk split pushing. Then send someone with waveclear to stop him. Not fight him; just stop the push.

Playing against Tryndamere basically means that you have to build Ninja Tabi, Bramble Vest and Randuins Omen if you want to actually fight him...and pray that his jungler is AD too. I had success playing Akali with Phase Rush against him, basically only poking/short burst trades which akali wins (unless he crits multiple times) and waiting on my jungler and or mid to come and burst him

Hey remember when item 3075 actually use to be a counter to AA champions? I do. It was a fun time. Back in the day, I get my ass kicked by a Varus for 50% of the game, I finish Thornmail, and he's kicking his own ass.

Urgot pisses off trynd players You ult before he does and sense your ult lasts longer then his you can wait out his ult and no matter how far he runs you can still kill him. You have to ult before he hits execute range though or it will automatically use it when trynd is invincible. IDK why it does it but if you learn the mechanics of it you can 1v1 him pretty easy.

It feels like they have no idea what they want to do with toplane. Remember the beginning of the season when bruiser mains bitched that they had no keystone, so then riot instead of bringing some form of Fervor back, creates this anomaly of a rune called Conqueror (its gonna be a balance issue regardless whatever they do to any champ that uses it). Not to mention the game is still about the ADCs (again, because in this burst or be bursted meta, ADs need everyone on the team to save them. Too bad not many actual helpful tanks (Legit Sion, that's it) exist in top anymore in soloplay.)

Here's what they should do. Assess the top lane roster, and decide which champ can be moved to which lane, and have their kit tuned around that lane. As it stands, top has the biggest roster of champions, and is still an ire of balance issues.

I'm surprised no one suggested Malphite here... free bonus armor, slow trynds atk by 50 percent? Not enough? Just build item 3110 and item 3143 if trynd still walking all over you imma say you need to learn when to just walk away cause you should be able to with that build and this champ. But yeah I have to agree with some other poster in this thread: Aatrox Urgot Sion Darius Illaoi are all things I hate to see top lane. They either just don't die, or push all day. Even if people try and help they're liable to just get killed doing it.
