He is a split pusher and pick maker and nothing more than those two things.
As a jungler he might have an ok clear time, however he lacks the move speed and attack speed of someone like Master Yi to get rolling earlier, his objective control is garbage, and his ganks suck. PLEASE stop taking this champion into the jungle role.
Thank you Boards! I know you will read this with sound mind and logical reasoning.
TakaDama2 votesTryndamere is actually a playable siege minion from the Baron-Banner days.
Seriously though, he brings very little to the table that Master Yi doesn't already.
Tryn's Passive and Q grant him critical strike chance and attack damage while attacking? Yi's passive gives him an extra auto-attack which helps with critting more often with the sheer density of autos he makes, E grants bonus AD, and R provides attack speed.
Tryn's Q heals him? So does Yi's W, and it even grants him damage mitigation while healing more health.
Tryn's W slows OR negates resistances? Yi can catch people with Q and R, while negating resistances with E.
Tryn's E can help him go through walls? Ok, he has that, though Yi's Q bypassing skillshots and popping projectiles like old school Flash gives that a run for its money.
Tryn's R--the most iconic thing about his entire kit--is even outclassed through the use of two of Yi's skills. In almost every instance where a Tryn R is viable, smart use of Yi's Q, W, and R do the same and with more manageable cooldowns.
At this point, they may as well rework him again.
