Trundle is *THE* Melee AD Top Counter. He's convinced me.

I am now thoroughly convinced that this guy is the nightmare of all melee ADs. He's even better at it than Teemo; yeah, I said it. Come at me.

Well, read this first. Then.....come at me.

**Want to get close in order to hit him with a combo? ** Well remember the bonus AD you have that scales with your abilities? He has it now instead.

**Want to harass him? ** Well remember your creeps? He gains all of his health back from them. Constantly.

**Want to avoid him and wait for ganks? ** Do you have an answer to his domain? No? Right, you can't cleanse that health gain can you? Unless you took ? Well remember how he took ? He's going to go back to base, buy more lifesteal (because your Ignite is down) and then Teleport back. Which is of course regardless of whether you denied him any minions, let alone killed him.

**Want to build straight armor? **Well remember his lane sustain? Right, you do no damage to him ever now. By the way, he steals a % of it with his ultimate. Which also does magic damage. isn't much of an answer to that now is it?

Think lategame is an answer? Sure, if you have 2-3 teammates to help you lock him down. Otherwise, your carries - nay, your whole team dies a bloody, horrific and terrifying death. He will steal your resistances, eat your team Cho'Gath style, and then savor you for last all the while with a full bar of HP. End of story. This is not theorycrafting; this is what happens. This is how the champion operates.

This was probably as painful to read as it was to type. Which I think actually reinforces my point! **THIS GUY IS A MONSTER. ** Ban him in case you're playing an AD top - heck, request that someone ban him for you, just in case someone picks him top!

Better yet, pick him more so I can figure out how the heck I'm supposed to counter that ridiculous early game kit through legal means. Maybe that's best...

...or is it?
