WTF exactly is the counterplay to conqueror Tryndamere other than CC out the ass?

Like honest to god I would love for someone to answer what the counterplay to a champion that literally can't die doing upwards of 2000 true damage is.

There is none, and quite frankly Riot doesn't give a fuck.

Poke him down, deny him fury, kite him and don't let him CS. Champions like Teemo, Vlad, and Kennen still hard counter his ass and as long as he doesn't get a lead, can bully him away from even getting CS.

There isn't much counterplay. He always outscales every other toplaner in the game (excluding Jax). What you can maybe do is either kill him early or zone him off CS. He depends on CS gold to have any damage.

He actually loses a lot of matchup 1 v 1 and is a scaling champ, so he gets beat up pretty bad early game unless you let him stack his fury and cheese you level 2

Akali Teemo Kennen Jayce Pantheon Ryze Vladimir

Also Jax hard outscales as long as you don't get killed early.

As for a fed Tryn, literally just burst him and force his ult out then he's useless till it comes back up. So yes, Burst him, CC him and either kill him or force him away. A tryn without an ult is barely a champion.

Nasus Wither, Ashe Crit slow, or Ali's disengage are all helpful.

Jax, Tryn, Yasuo, Yi, ChichenDyr are all like this.

It use to be one hard CC could do the job but not today with the damage output. You need 2-3 Chain hard CC to stop them.

Its just stupid.

Only cc. Just like for yi. Riot do not know how to make glass cannon champions. It's trash design by nature that the only way to counter a champ is to cc them.

op.gg - Tryndamere - Top Lane - Ranked 41st- 4th tier - 1.08% pick rate

Am I missing something here?

The problem is that even when he loses, he wins. You can't stop him from punching down your towers, all you can do is stall and hope your team has the better 4v4.

It's blatant favoritism because he's named after one of the creators (Albiet, Ryze is as well, but i respect the way they treat his favoritism. Instead of allowing a shitty oppressive champion to rampage every game sub-plat/low diamond, they try to rework him into a champ that's usable by all people)

Essentially, your best bet is to have someone on reserve to rush to either top or bot who can CC chain him. Don't let squishies or DPS champs try to fight him, because he'll just press his Skill Button and gutterstomp them under the 'protection' of your towers. On the other hand, a tank who doesn't have enough waveclear won't be able to stop him from just instagibbing the tower under their nose. The champs i'd say are okayish at stopping him under tower would be something like Galio, with big CC and waveclear. Maybe a malzahar if he's very good, but that's risky in the case that tryn just waits to ult until malz presses R (thanks game, allowing him to press R while cc'd).

There is no skill matchup when it comes to fighting a trynda It's just champion picks and rushing the lane he goes to before he can nuke towers

Keep lanes pushing out so you have forewarning enough to rush to lane and stop him if you can. That's all i have left to offer as counterplay

There's a good chance this post will get deleted by the mod squad for calling out favoritism, but meh ¯_(ツ)_/¯ -AA [zombie-brand-clap]

pull him into your fountain to deny his undying rage!

Pantheon Pantheon puts him down quite well depending on your lead. Tryndamere Tryndamere will eventually outscale in the end, but hopefully you'll be far enough in the game he wont be as effective.
