Since when Towers have Thornmail?

it actually doesn't hurt him as bad as the old thornmail and i can prove it mathematically if you'd like

you mean the thornmail component item bramble vest?

yeah its cheaper, and the fact that it can be rushed definitely makes it a strong item versus tryndamere.

thornmail itself isn't as powerful versus tryndamere as it used to be though.

the best way to beat bramble vest as tryndamere is to get a tiamat and shove waves super hard, and just ignore the enemy laner entirely. you can do some chip damage to them with tiamat passive if they stick close to you-- you should just kill the wave, get full fury asap and heal and get out, rinse repeat.

Trynd scales really well with underpriced crit and high ad on items, he doesnt need thornmail changed to help him.

Entire mechanic? You're playing Tryndamere around his heal? Trust me, that is not Tryndamere's entire mechanic and definitely not what you should be playing around. You should be playing around crit strikes and treat him like other melee autoattack champions for general engages.

Not to mention, it only triggers if you actually attack the champion for 1 second. You can still heal easily by waiting an entire 1 second before healing or focusing the wave instead of the champion.
