Forget morde, rework trynd first for the love of god

This is the most dishonest champ that ive ever had to play against in the history of this game.

His Passive: A passive built on crit, really? up to 35% crit at max fury. This means a trynd can LITERALLY rely upon luck to kill you as long as he gets a few lucky crits early.

His W: A crippling slow that is basically a death sentence for anyone caught out 1v1 with it. The supposed "counterplay" to this is to TURN BACK AROUND to the trynd who has already gapclosed onto you with his E in the HOPES that the frame that he casts it is the same frame that youve turned around. But oh? You thought that the end of this one? He also reduces the AD of everyone in range by FUCKING EIGHTY at max rank. AND ENTIRE ITEMS WORTH OF AD removed because trynds W key is intact.

His E: A gapclose. He has a disgusting slow, but now there's the gapclose to deal with. I would have no problem with this if its CD didnt decrease every time he crits something. So a slow and a low CD gapclose. What does this mean? Infinite vacuum baby. If you don't have atleast two ways to escape this caveman of a champ you're out of luck. God forbid you dont have ANY escape tools like an AD or mage.

and finally his R: Invincibility, a skill that should really only exist on supports, if ANYONE. You outplayed him perfectly even avoiding his gapclose and slow? Too bad, Tryndamere has 5 seconds of inviciblity. You caught him out and are hoping for a pick? Too bad, Tryndamere can use it while CC'd. You just want to save the turret from the caveman thats clubbing all your turrets down? Too bad, youre getting dove if you stay because Tryndamere has R. Oh, and in essence it basically does the EXACT SAME THING levels 1-3 so he doesnt even need to level it

His Q is the only thing that I can really say is balanced in his kit because its relatively lackluster in comparison to the rest of his abilities. Playing against tryndamere is not fun. Beating trynd in lane and having to babysit him anyways with no chance to kill him because of R/E is not fun

Passive: Trynd can crit you. This is a thing he does. You don't dump all your CC into an ulting Olaf, you don't commit Syndra ult with Kayle nearby. That would be stupid. By the same token, you don't all-in a high-fury Trynd if the fight would be close enough that two more crits than average would result in a death.

W: League has instant turn rates, this spell has a cast time and a rather obvious cast animation. If you know he's about to go for a shout, keep your cursor close to your character and click back for a moment when you see him flail his sword in the air.

E: Has a 13-9 second CD. If he ends up unable to auto you after a spin (either because you stunned him, juked him, or used a mobility spell after he spun) he can't keep up with you unless you forget to avoid his shout.

R: Not invincibility. 5 seconds of "I can't die". He can cast it under CC, but it doesn't stop him from being CC'd. He can avoid straight up death, but still comes out of the spell on critical HP.

But wait, you aren't interested in actually learning how to fight Trynd are you? You just want to bitch and moan because you lost 21 LP to the guy in solo queue.

Mordekaiser needs a more comprehensive overhaul. Tryndamere, while having a kit that has had to be nerfed repeatedly over the years to the point where he's a parlor trick in low ELO, can wait until Mordekaiser's overhaul, because at least he doesn't graphically look like he belongs on the N64.

He's pretty basic, even in low elo... Very straight forward and easy to counter with other sustain champions like Vladimir and Teemo Malphite Gnar can poke him out early and even beat him past level 6 if they play smart. The problem I see a lot in my elo is laners get cheesed lvl 2/3 and then they tilt. Then they over stay in lanes/dont ask for mid/jungle help and get dove at 6+. He is a hair strong in solo que, but I would like for some of the OG champions to remain as they were, he's not busted and has a 49.3% win rate on op.gg, so I'd say he's 'fine' in the grand scheme..

His Q - play a poke champion and he can't gain fury without paying a price. This is in fact a great ability btw, lane sustain is really nice to have, and allows him to win a lot of trades.

His W - You can outplay the w slow, you have to be facing away for it to slow.

E - He is a melee adc, how else do you get to ranged adcs? How would you allow him to "stick" to any target otherwise? There are a ton of champions that have loaded kits with dashes, move speed increases etc (looking at you Lucian )

R - So is Kayle busted? How about Zilean ult? Kindred? Its just about the same thing and you play around those champions the same way.

Another low-effort / high rewards champion.

Thought he was just a low-elo stomper; saw him stomping in Diamond for no reason. That's just disgusting.

Trynda is literally trash champ, worst version of Yi autoattack tactics. I don't understand how can you have problem with him lol

Is this a meme thread?

All you did was list his kit. If you actually made points like “he’s RNG orientied and hard to duel”, I’d be compelled, but it’s pretty easy to say you just went to his wiki and complained about it here.
