When is Tryndamere facing his rework?

So yeah this is basically the X'th rant about X champ however seriously Tryndamere is one of the biggest offenders when it comes to unhealthy gameplay in LoL. And yeah yeah I get it "in high elo he isn't OP because of CC" but what people seem to forget is most people aren't in Diamond+ and people in low elo don't give a crap about what they want to pick or even how to itemize. Couple that with soloq being an uncoordinated place of chaos and I think it becomes a little clear how Tryndamere can thrive and be a low elo nightmare.

  1. His ENTIRE design philosophy is basically to be like a minion or rather sperm. He only know 1 direction and 1 mission and that is to PUSH TOPLANE. Like sperm or minions he will only go foward to reach this one goal. I know this seems weird to compare him to sperm but quite frankly speaking I cannot find a better description for this champ. This is not intended to be an insult to this champ ( I know it sounds like it but I just wanted to say how 1 note the champ really is ).

  2. He for some reason gets rewarded for playing poorly. Why? The lower he gets the more AD he gains due to his q. But why? It invites people to want to get poked just so they get more AD to then all in the opponent with it. Giving him a BF sword for being punished is stupid period. I bet if this was on ANY other champ people would be complaining a lot more.

  3. All ins of Tryndamere early game are some of the dumbest in the game. They can be some of the worst or best, why? Oh because he casually gets like what? 30% crit at lvl 2 at full fury? ( I would love for somebody to tell me the specific numbers! Me scrub :P ) It makes him super dice rolly and we all love random luck involved in hour day to day LoL gameplay do we? No we don't I think nobody thinks it's fun to play against Zoe and her random W drops. And though a controversial one Yasuo at the very least gets some downside for getting double crit chance. His lvl 6 is also extremely gross because he also just gains invulnerability for 5 whole seconds? And it doesn't scale? wonderful just....The amount of times where you can just 1v2 or 3 fights pretty hilarious. It would at the very least be nice if Riot made this ability scale with skill points but instead Tryndamere can just skill it once and then forget it.

  4. On this specific champ you don't need map awareness as much as on other champs. He has for some reason of the best type of mobility a champion can have in his basic abilities? A low CD skill shot dash that can be used to get over terrain, deals a decent amount of damage and gets reset by 1 second each time he crits? Say what you will about older champs not having as much mobility as newer more overloaded champs but Tryndamere had some insane mobility for 10 years basically. On top of that his ult makes it very hard to punish him when he does actually find himself overextending.

  5. His W doesn't make sense in his kit. He gets a 40% slow to chase down targets and stick on them to reset his dash more easily? Okay cool but that doesn't play into his diver playstyle that well. ( I don't think the ability is broken or anything I just think it's out of place but I might be wrong )

I'm all for beginner friendly champs such as Annie or Nasus but these 2 at least teach you proper map awareness.... I think there are countless people that complain about new Mordekaiser and his ultimate. Tryndamere is basically that but on steroids as you can't qss to get away [cass-cry].

I have to be honest I love playing this champ from time to time but even I can see that it's not very well thought out or even balanced.

Please give him a rework.

The worst part about Tryndamere is that it's so unforgiving to EVER fall behind against him. Give him a single kill, and he'll be tower diving you for days. You get a lead and he's escaping everything you throw because of his ult and spin.

Friendly reminder, apart of slow, his W reduce your AD for 80 or so

Just remove the nosense that he can ulti while CCed. So you can burst him if he get caught

Towers should bypass his ult and kill him.

So... you don't like this champion and are posting your complaints on the boards to find people to validate the opinion you already have.

Tryndamere is just fine the way he is - the fact that he's so simple means you have no excuse for not being able to play against him.

The whole "just CC him" doesn't make tons of sense to me, because you basically have to chain 2 CCs. One to burst him and the second while he ults ... Otherwise he'll just E away or massacre your team

Let him stay as he is. Let the simple kit stay in the game. They will rework him like an akali and he will be more op than ever. His mobility wasn't that broken before, but right now with free acces to 40% cdr ofc he has a mobility with his e. The league by itself made trynd more broken adding free 20% cdr to all types of items lmao.

Trynd players need map awareness, all spliting people need it.

His W makes a perfect sense of his design. He is a fucking fearless barbarian who want's to fight, u must face him and prove yourself that u are not a coward lmao.

His only way to deal with guys is Auto Attack, there are several champions which reduce effect of aa, also items.

Trynd is counterable or have fair match upsJax Nasus Teemo KledFiora maybe some great wave clear mages Ryze Anivia , U don't even have to go out of the lane with these champions, u just have your mind game with tryndamere on top, and it's usually dependant on a team who will win the game lmao.

Top lane is the least impactfull lane in the game, but the most skillful along jungle. U have to know your match ups, U must be the sage of top lane champions and know what they do. How to play vs counter, how to actually avoid jungler, so he won't wreck your lane to the end with a single gank, U almost keep fighting 24/7 with enemy top laner if u both are melee, u have to look at the wave to push or freeze. If u learn to play one champion and his match ups it becames easier to play. Even on lower elo, trynd is not unstoppable.
