Tryndamere is in a... Rough spot.

So, I've mained him since season 3, and he's the first champion I truly started to improve with, he has so many problems pre AND post 6 just being too weak to even really compete against any of the stronger more meta top lane champs, (Gnar, Irelia, Volibear, Malphite, Darius, Fiora, Gangplank, Pantheon, Shen, Vladimir, Wukong.. etc.

His style of play, although some say makes you bad ( right clicking ) and hammering down targets is what I find most enjoyable, but I feel he needs some work in the early game. In my opinion I feel he needs:

Q Buff : Make it more rewarding to get auto attacks, in, and being able to sustain, instead of being poked out of lane or just losing lane simply because other champions can abuse the fact you're weak early and just out-trade you. Currently his ratios for this ability are 0.5 / 0.95 / 1.4 / 1.85 / 2.3 (+ 1.2% AP) - In my opinion these should be 0.7 / 1.20 / 1.70 / 2.10 / 2.60 +/- the AP bonus (I personally have never done well playing AP Tryndamere and could care less whether the AP ratio was entirely scrapped.)

W Buff : Currently this ability feels like it's in a semi - decent spot? But I feel against most poke/harass heavy champions (Pantheon, Gnar, Gangplank, Vladimir) the AD reduction is simply not enough. Currently it sits at -20AD / -35AD / -50AD / -65AD / -80 AD // SLOW: 30 / 37.5 / 45 / 52.5 / 60% - In my opinion this should be changed to -25AD / -42.5AD / -60AD / -77.5AD / -95AD // SLOW : 30 / 40 / 50 / 60 / 70%

E : Don't think there is anything wrong with this ability personally but I feel a range increase for the spin would be nice ( it is currently 660 range and would probably feel better around 800/900 give or take. Again also not a fan of the fact this has AP ratios.

R : Don't feel this ability needs any work : Makes Tryndamere unique and is why I love playing him, just being able to Face-tank an entire team or win a 1v1 against someone because I get a clutch heal off at the last second that they weren't expecting (This does actually take skill all you haters).

If anyone has any comments I'd love to hear them, This is just a rough draft I wrote up about him and am interested to hear your guys' opinions... Thanks for reading.

They won't touch him, because his problems are not in the laning. His basic skills are mediocre to bad compared to other champions, only because the ultimate is potentially good and annoying to play against. He is also manaless. Trynda would be quite strong in a game without Exhaust, chain CC from the supports and super high burst dmg champion (LB, Jhin, Diana, Viktor can delete him, before he ults, if he has no defensive items )

Why would they change his early game, when his late game is absolutely monstrous? They won't give a strong early, and late game.

His passive wins early game,if your lucky.

He's neither OP nor needing buff. He's just an outdated champ which doesn't really fit well in a teamfight, but his power level is OK.
