(Tryn) Doesn't Fighter imply...

Doesn't Fighter imply a certain amount of damage and survivability balance in the build? So explainTryndamere to me. I mean, he's primarily a Fighter, right? So why is it that the ONLY reason he's a "fighter" is the face he quite literally can't be killed? He can match the build of any assassin with only a few of the same worries because of his invulnerability. Sure there's CC and focusing, but you can't focus him and the enemy ADC at the same time. You get the choice of die to him or die to them.

I don't think any champions should be allowed the fighter title when they have a kit ability that deletes the need for defensive items.

And his secondary is Assassin which, arguable, is much more used than any real fighter build. (as stated above) But that comes with some implications too, does it not? He does have a shorter escape than most assassins, but he also has a slow to catch up to people.

Oh, then there's the fact that unlike Zed, LeBlanc, Katarina, Akali, and Fizz, he's impossible to kill for a duration, so you can't even take him out first when he's the one getting fed.

Shouldn't an assassin be, you know, possible to focus without having to use ALL of your team's cc on him and leave none for the other enemies?

I'm just saying that invulnerability should not be a thing in a game based on a team focus. Maybe REDUCED damage, like Alistar, but full-on invincibility on a champ who abuses it by hitting like a a truck while being equally indestructible is a little too much.

Inb4 the Tryn users who think he's difficult to use.

CC doesn't stand for "cookies and cream" or "coo-coo (for) cocopuffs", it stands for "Crowd Control", de-buffs that slow, stop, stun, interrupt, you name it. He relies completely on auto attacks to do his work, and has no reliable escape. Assassins are defined by their short window to 100-0 one or two champions and get out with no 100% reliable escape. If he builds DPS, let him, and assuming you can manage your teamfights (as teams should), play around his ultimate and presence. In other words, CC him.

Thanks for not reading half of what I said. Really gives me hope that people pay attention. He has a slow and a dash that can go through walls. And unlike other assassins, who need to use their escapes to live, he can just sit there attacking.

You're also forgetting the little fact that the team has five players. An ADC that needs to be stopped just like him, and possible another fed champ that can't be ignored. To CC him before he kills your ADC, you need to shift focus from them to him, which only means they kill you instead of him. He should not be invulnerable. A large damage reduction would work just as well for his playstyle without keeping the need to shift your priorities around the guy you aren't allowed to kill.
