Petition to Remove Tryndamere

TheRazzleDazzle··20 votes·2,837 views

Riot's had it's fair share and criticisms of balance and imbalance. But what about horrible champion designs? Here me out. Tryndamere is NOT overpowered, but is he a pathetic display of a character design? Of course! He's rising in popularity and all the Yasuo and Riven mains are probably looking to pick him up soon. He has zero tradeoffs when it comes to building straight damage, people might say "Dude just CC him" but for how long? What if it's a 1v1? Why can he out sustain me if it's not an all in? Why does he have more HP than me when he has bork and ninja tabi and zero health items? Well it's because his stats are busted, and his kit doesn't have much counterplay to its niche design. How can you fix him? Idk maybe make his ultimate not invincible, maybe give him like a huge shield and some super lifesteal or something, make him actually squishy when he builds less defensive than Jinx, I don't know. But when a character can be 0-5-0 and incredibly behind in farm and still tower dive? There's a problem with that character. And don't tell me it's outplaying, because all they do is right click and spin.

Make his ult give him damage reduction from non-structures based on how low his HP is.

Promotes fighting other people, doesn't let him safely tower-dive at next to no HP since the damage reduction doesn't affect turret shots.

There is one thing that really bothered me when it comes to Tryndaquere for so many reasons.

His ult is the most frustrating part of his kit and almost everyone knows it...

But the thing that truly definds his bullshit is his fucking passive for many reasons because it gives FREE FUCKING CRIT CHANCE The amount it gives is dumb (And you think Yasuo was bad when it comes to crits, but he needs to build crit to be dumb) the passive gives him 35% free crit at max fury. you know that is more then any crit item in the game. And he can have that at lvl 1 with is absolutely idiotic as hell. The worst part is that he can get it just by playing whack-a-minion until its max fury then procede to murder the enemy champ for some cheesy bullshit kills and get first blood.

His Q is basically free AD and gets more for having less health. and it heals even if you have fury but its better to have fury because its most likely to give half his health back at max fury.

His W is super uninteractive and super weak or strong in terms of gameplay because all he has to do is just w and a chicken up someone to do make his trades better and most likely take less damage against AD champions. There is no doubt this is getting removed if he gets reworked.

And his E is basically basically contradicts his concept of him being a barbarian, a dash that lets him go through walls. that shit will always be up when he crit all the time(Which is gonna happen if he has max fury). Its basically makes him a chicken or a monster if he is fed/farmed to the point it takes more then 2 to kill him.

How much I fucking hate that champion right now? I hate him so much that I hope Rito nerfs him into Pre reworked Poppy state until they reworked him into a true barbarian. and now that more people are playing him, he is nothing but a blistering cancer that will show how much Rito fucked up with some of their older champions(He is a beta champion after all).

Edit: One more thing. Yes, he is not OP but he is just frustrating to play against and its a chore to face him because almost all Trynds are just going to split push into base when they are behind or ahead. That dumb barbarian just offers very little to a team which conflicts Rito's design philosophy.

An ironic thing about how his fury generates is how he can generate it off of minions. When it was first released, you could stack fervor off of minions and monsters, making it so you'll always have it up regardless. Riot nerfed this function because it was "too powerful" yet they allow Tryn to get free dmg doing the same thing.

He's a terrible design, but really just change his ult or make his ult not be effected by CDR.

0-5 Trynd is not going to be suplexing you under your tower unless you are playing terribly

Or playing a character without cc or a disengage.

The reason why Tryn is rising in popularity is because no one wants to play supportive champions anymore. Everyone wants to "solo carry" so no one picks anything that stands a chance against Tryn. Who are popular junglers? Lee Sin, Graves, and Master Yi...yeah, good luck against Tryn with that. When is the last time you saw a Maokai, Nautilus, Shen, or Sion top lane to shut down Tryn's late game? How many games do you see without a Katarina, Fizz, Zed, or Yasuo on at least one of the teams?

When these are the team comps, it is obvious why Tryn is destroying people. Darius LeeSin Lux Rakan Xayah Camille Graves Yasuo Soraka Caitlyn Riven MasterYi Zed Janna Lucian

I guarantee that if your team looks like this against Tryn he will want to AFK because he does so bad. Shen Amumu Cassiopeia Taric Vayne

Riven can shut down a Tryn since she can win lane and outdual him late (I got a PD vs the last Tryn I faced as Riven. I basically two shot him with just half a fast combo).

Riven can't outduel any Tryndamere with a brain late game.

Well theres a reason why people do it. Look at that tanky team comp. I can't afford to go into a game and hope that my vayne and cass can carry me. It simply doesn't happen often enough to be a viable strategy. People like me don't play carries because they want to, but rather because we have to.

Yet here I am climbing through the ranks playing exclusively Taric in solo queue. I don't go into any game and hope that anyone can carry me when I'm playing Taric. I go in with the mentality of "my damage dealers are never going to die so they will easily carry me."

Wafflessssss3 votes

Well good luck. I don't trust people not to find a way to die. And if an adc turns out to by some luck not be an idiot, I'll tank for them as much as possible. And if not I can just try to carry.

It's because sometimes it's better to be independent than to pick a comp that relies heavily on teamwork. Most average people can't really string together the wombos correctly or at the right time without some sort of communication method like VC or prior-planning and if you add the fact that lots of people go into soloQ, it just makes it that much more difficult. Would you have complete faith in 4 strangers you've never even met and pick a champion that is teamwork reliant or useless/not as strong? Too risky, probably not, or at least in the average player's abilities. Pulling off the plays that depend heavily on teamwork is difficult even with some kind of voice communication so asking that from everyone just because the enemy so happens to have a Tryndamere is kind of unfair.
