How do I deal with Tryndamere in low elo?

Whether he goes top or jungle he just rofl stomps after he hits 6 because he just dives everyone and nobody is smart enough to realize it (and I am not excluding myself here). Literally it just seems so dumb that he can go in 1v5 with his E delete someone with his bs passive crit and spin back out since it gets lower cooldowns with crit. Then if you manage to stop him he ults and just 1v5s even if you have cc.

Note: I AM IN BRONZE. How the hell do I deal with this stupid champ I see every other game other than banning him?

Honestly, a Tryndamere can only pull those things off if he's just INSANELY fed. In Bronze most Tryndameres you see doing well will either be people who main him almost exclusively, or people who are on smurfs and know how to use him to beat less skilled players. The rest are just cocky enough to get his snowball rolling early and then keep going with it.

A few quick tips against a Tryndamere:

He's probably not going to put much effort into durability, if any at all. A fed Tryndamere is going to stack damage in an effort to outsustain and completely rip others apart. As a result, he's squishy unless you just stand there and let him wail on you. Don't do that. Take high mobility or heavy CC champions, which brings me to my second point.
Tryndamere can use his ult while he's CCd, but he isn't immune to CC while it's active, or at any other point during a match. A stunned Tryndamere can't do damage while you whittle him down, although it'd probably be you and a friend, and a slowed Tryndamere can't catch up to you to start the pain or keep on you if he's already trying to stick to you.
Don't 1v1 him. If you're a champion with heavy CC, you probably don't have the damage to take him down. If you're a champion with heavy damage, you probably can't slow his roll enough to stop him from pulverizing you. He's a duelist, and a strong one at that. Try to run away on your own and he'll likely Mocking Shout to slow you down and then spin onto you unless you have a VERY good escape mechanic.
Don't let him free farm. If you're laning against a Tryndamere, don't be afraid of him. Don't be an idiot and let him walk all over you, but if you can harass him do so. Taking a ranged champion like Gnar, Teemo, Quinn, or Vayne are good ways to do this. You can harass him from behind your wave when he tries to get minions, and both Teemo and Vayne can outright blind him so he's missing CS either way. If you're jungling and you see Tryndamere starting to get an edge on your top laner, head up there and apply some pressure. Make him scared to push the lane, so he loses out on CS trying to keep it frozen.
Bait out the ult. Let him dive you. Let him try to chase you and your Blitzcrank under turret with his ult up. Lead him on a merry chase instead of standing to fight, so that when his ult ends and he pops his Q to heal a miserable few hundred health from his pent up fury, he's just lost his increased crit chance and more than likely will die to another hit or two. Tryndamere's are cocky, incredibly so. The good ones will know when it's not safe to risk going in. The bad ones will dive you every time, and you can punish them for it.
His ult has a cooldown. If you've seen him use it in the last minute, it's not back up yet. This might be hard to believe, but Tryndameres can actually be killed. Take him down when his ult is off cooldown and he loses the one thing he's got going for him. An evenly built Tryndamere isn't going to be able to 1v3 a team without his ult. Even with his ult he'd probably be lucky to get one kill, two at BEST, when fighting three enemies before his six seconds are up and they go back in on him to finish the job.

Counterpick him with Nunu.

Just treat him like some sort of raid boss that requires you to disengage for 5 seconds once it reaches 0.

I suspect people have such a hard time with Tryndramere because the ult doesnt have a huge visual cue.

Poppy's ult lasts longer and makes him immune to all abilities from the non ulted champs yet people are often much faster in disengageing because the ult has a huge and failrly obvious visual effect on Poppy.
