Tryndamere kind of sucks now

He was always kind of iffy, a little too unreliable / feast or famine.

But right now he's particularly crappy-- don't know why, probably dozens of factors tbh. Just feels like there is too much counterplay to him, and I can't imagine a healthy game where there isn't, so he likely needs a rework or atleast some adjustments to his kit.

His R isn't even that big of a deal, its just his R + the rest of his kit that make him so binary, specifically his tendency to dive a single target / chase people down while immune to death. If he didn't have such high sticking power, Undying rage really wouldn't be that big of a deal from a balance point of view-- it could even stand to last a lot longer than it does (assuming he doesn't get to keep his 60% 4 second slow and a short cd dash)

idk, i just feel like tryndamere will never 'feel' like he belongs in league (always too much counterplay / has to split push all day and can't do anything else reliably / extremely oppressive when ahead and total garbage when behind / goofy rng in early laning phase that dictates most of the game) as long as his kit is the way it is.

i cant really say anything about how he is now since i havent tried anything but ashe jinx and katarina since the preseason released lol. what i can say is that he is a massive pain in the ass if he gets his items, behind or not tryn will always do damage if youre hitting the right person and keep up in exp.

id try the ignite tryn top with press the attack, or summon aery. i dont remember if she procs on auto attacks but from what ive seen and heard shes incredibly strong on bruisers in the top lane as her cooldown is ridiculously low since youre always on top of your opponent.

any of the precision tree would be beneficial to him in some way and even dark harvest/predator may be viable choices since dark harvest stacks are adaptive, reset on kill, and scale outrageously well into late game where tryn truely shines. predator just giving him a free low cd ghost to run people down with and save his e to secure a kill rather than engage.

edit: i believe the first strike on a mark with predator also grants some bonus damage but i could be mistakem
