hes completely bad, borderline unplayable unless champion matchup stars align.... You literally NEED a healer on your team. You NEED a pure tank on the enemy team. And you NEED there to not be a tank buster ADC on the enemy team. Without those, he isnt even viable.

He's been a good pick on 3s for years now and most tanks are pretty bad there atm. His ult still works against champs like Darius/Garen/Morde, as he gains a lot of healing from their health pools. The problem is his lack of real damage scaling (relative to other juggernauts), his overnerfed Pillar and he has trouble getting tanky AND dealing damage. Since he has no burst in his kit (and can't dip into crit/on-hit itemization without sacrificing defense) he either builds tanky and does little damage (while still getting shredded in seconds) or goes mostly damage and gets bursted down if he can't kill the target first.

There's no longer any middle ground with him damage-wise and he doesn't have a cheesy damage build he can take advantage of like Shyvana's AP build. He just doesn't deal enough damage to compete and his utility doesn't start becoming useful until late game, when Pillar becomes decent around ranks 4-5 and people become durable enough for his ult and passive to actually matter.

Trundle doesn't need a healer, just build some lifesteal at some point and his W will keep him alive. Health regen works as well, but he needs lifesteal in order to duel past the early game.
