He's super strong levels 1, 2, and 3. He scales extremely well into the late game, has a hyper-useful pillar, and is a worse stat check than ANY of the fighters that have been reworked so far. Why was this champ desireable to have in the meta again? Tanks aren't even strong and he still gets picked
Trundle basically turns into a secondary support late game. His mid game is where he is strongest damage-wise. Using the stat-check argument against him is pointless since he steals stats and arguably has the lowest damage of all the juggernauts.
The only free stats he gets are an attack speed boost and increased healing, but only in a certain AoE, everything else he has to take from an enemy. His entire kit is situational and terrain focused. Also, he has zero burst damage, which the game has highly favored for quite a few seasons.
Calling Trundle a ball of stats is just as silly as calling Yi, Jax, or Trynd that. He has very low killing power on his own. If you allow him to get a carry score, your team probably plays way too aggressively.
He's bad at chasing, but he's one of the best champs at setting up traps and manipulating the battlefield. He doesn't win games by out-statting people. To prove my point, try playing him as support some time. He doesn't need a single kill to help win a game.
I can't remember the last time I saw a a trundle. I assume one just beat you?
I got a buddy who likes to jungle with trundle/olaf because they have great gank potential whenever i play a hard cc top laner like renekton or kennen
hyper useful pillar huh?
anyways a champion that simply runs at you and autoattacks isnt a late game scaling champ. im sorry, not even master yi. play anything with disengage, (mid malzahar, top ornn, bot tristana, Jungle anything, support anything) you will win the game. Use your flash CORRECTLY. postion CORRECTLY. give up cs against him if you have to wtf just play the game bro xD
The trolls are going to war
