A clever Tryndamere ulti update

Trynda is a strong champion with an unhealthy ultimate. However, rather then nerfing it, it would be interesting to have a unique counterplay (and a counter-counterplay for Trynda).

My idea: when Tryndamere activates his ultimate, any newly applied CC decreases its total duration by the length of the CC (yes, existing CC-s on him has no extra effect). The total duration cannot be reduced below to 1.5sec + 0.5sec / skill level. This minimum duration is similar to other invulnerability spells. Furthermore, one type of CC can reduce the duration only once, so a Rumble with Rylai cannot undo the ulti instantly.

This would offer a unique playstyle for both sides:

  • Trynda and his team needs to bait CCs. This is not hard since he activates the ulti when he is on low health which happens later in a fight.
  • Trynda can buy tenacity the decrease the reduction as well.
  • The enemy team needs to keep abilities back if they want to reduce the time of Trynda ulti. Abilities with CC has higher CDs.

Trynd needs an entire gameplay update. His strength is literally based on an RNG, and his play style is extremely anti-fun for any champion that has to lane against him. As I've said in another thread, it's basically like you get to babysit Tryndamere all game. Trynd pushes Top, so you then get to clear minions under your turret while he backs and goes bot... So guess what, you then get to back and go bot. Rinse and repeat. Over. And over. And over. You want to join a teamfight? Hope you can kill all four of them, because in the meantime Trynd's taken two towers in the span of thirty seconds.

It's a fucking Scooby Doo chase, except there's no way to get away when he decides to turn around and chase you.
