Champions like Tryndamere make this game unfun.

I dont understand how riot can think a champion with an ult that allows him to not die, a heal, a slow, bult in critical strikes, and a gap closer is balanced. Tryndamere is a champion that requires absolutely no skill, and with the slightest bit of lifesteal will completely demolish you and your team all while remaining completely unable to be killed, because god forbid if he does get low, he's going to ult, and then run. Tryndamere is the least fun champion to play against in this game, hands down.

Build a item 3075 item 3143 and/or item 3110 and he isnt feeling too good Getting a champion with an easy stun/root like Alistar Anivia Fiddlesticks Karma Leona Lissandra and such are good choices.

He's supposed to be an "easy" top laner to learn. Most top laners have gap closer, some way to heal/sustain/not take damage, and some form of cc. Or they counter all of those.

Want a tip to counter his ult?

Stun him. That's, like, the only thing you have to do. He ults (he lets out a big roar, so it's easy to tell when he ults), you stun him. Half his ult is over now. During this stun, you walk away from him. If you're cutting him off from escape, walk toward his escape route. If you're running away from him, you should be able to get out of range from his gap closer and slow.

Pick stuff like Teemo or Pantheon, who can zone him out and out-damage him. Build items like thornmail (seriously, he's completely aa reliant. If you hate Tryndamere this much but don't build this item, that's your problem).

Is this a Throwback Thursday post? I remember seeing these posts way back in like Season 1 and 2, but Trynd is so easy to shut down. Armor, CC (yes, you can CC him while he's ulted even if he takes no damage) and ignite.

You clearly haven't tried to play tryndamere in higher level play. He gets stomped and murdered to all hell and rarely ever comes back.

He is bullshit but there are ways to beat him through itemisation and counterpicks

I'm not even saying in ranked. When you're playing teambuilder, or blind pick or anything besides draft where you cant see your opponent, and get matched against tryndamere as a top laner with no CC (jayce in my case), once he got ahead of me, there was nothing i could do against him except cower under my tower in the hope that he wouldn't turret dive me.

Tryndamere is a champion that requires absolutely no skill,

It's more the other way around, Tryndamere feeds on players with no skill, making him a solid pick for your summoner level 1~30 adventures.

Once you get to a caliber of players Tryndamere requires a significant amount of skill to use passably well. If you prevent him from building fury in lane, he automatically loses lane. If you group for team fights, he tends to loose those too.

If you run at him 1 at a time, never group, and try to duel him while trying to max out your inventory slots with 6 completed items - then he's probably the best champion in the game.

Tryndamere is the least fun champion to play against in this game, hands down.

I'm not sure about least fun, but you're not exactly wrong in pointing this out. It's a core issue with a lot of fighter/assassins, especially those created at the start of LoL's history.

There shtick is basically winning 1v1 duels and stomping noobs. They're useless in team-fights without some massive defensive spike. This tends to cause them to do things like split-push to force 1v1s and refuse to group with their team, while catching a lot of players off-guard by easily mopping the floor with them in duels while using kit power to trump a lot of skill.

Plan AStep 1) Wait for Tryndamere's shout of rage indicating he has ulted Step 2) Time bombs Zilean or Tristana Step 3) RUN AWAY. Or Plan B Step 1) Sejuani jungle Step 2) Alistar support Step 3) Varus / Ashe ADC Step 4) Cassiopeia Mid and step 5) Pantheon / Leona Top. Plan A is trolling the Tryndamere plan B is cc-ing him to death

So the consensus is just build your entire team against him, and then hope to god he doesn't have a morg on the team or else you are just mega-boned. I get the whole "oh he sucks in diamond +" excepting the fact that 75%+ of the players in this game don't play at that level. Towers are like wet tissue paper now and by the time he appears in a lane the tower is dead before your TP finishes. Its fine to have snowballing champions, but 1-2 damage items and he can run through your entire team. Hes just flat out obnoxious to play against, especially when you have the speedboost from deadmans plate in the format. Its just an eternal splitpush with a character that requires 3 people to bring down, in a meta where objectives other than towers are pretty much useless.
