Tryndamere

Is it just me or is Tryndramere the empitome of everything going wrong when Riot still had no idea how to design champs? I don't even want to talk about that terrible designed ultimate that forces your team to throw cc at him, no matter if its a skilled player or a total moron just because of this kit.

A champ that relies on RNG all laning phase (and even throughout the whole game to be effective) - but wait, actally that's not right, because Tranydramere players spend 80% of the game playing PvE AND EVEN GETS REWARDED FOR IT. Now to make things clear: splitpushing is a legitimate tactic, but not if its so low risk/high reward as it is with Tryndramere.

"Oh but then the enemy has to fight with one man less and you can win the TF" - yeah wow, win TF, mabye get a midlane tower while you lose your inhibitor.

On top of that you mostly need two people to effectively get rid of him: 1.) because he can outduel most champs 1vs1 and 2) because with this brainded mobility spell on low CD he is almost impossible to catch - not adding in the mobility he gets from building statics wich is a core item on him.

This champ is toxic in every. single. phase. of the game. Why do we allow badly designed trash like this to be even remotely viable?

Dear Riot, we all know you sucked hard at champ design back in the day. We're not mad at you for it because you seem to learn and get better over the years. But please. Get rid of that poorly designed toxic pile of trash. Either way nerf it or give it a proper rework, but like this it's unacceptable.

Let's just add here that Tyndramere has like ZERO defining elements and his character has as much depth as a shallow puddle. So, dear champ designers: BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD (and take this abomination of design with you please).

He's not nearly as bad as Aatrox at split pushing. He's also worse than aatrox at 1v1ing. He's also worse than aatrox at participating in teamfights. Pretty much the only thing he does better than Aatrox is jungling, and he is a really shitty ganker.

Oh wow there are other duelants in the game? OH MY GOD I DIDN'T KNOW THIS. REALLY. I never said that he's the strongest duelist, the problem is that this is just another factor that makes his design toxic. The problem is just that his splitpushing is too strong - and to answer the other commenter at the same time: Aatrox takes skill and in unskilled hands he's a total joke that get insta-plöppd the moment the fight breaks out. On top of that his skills allow counterplay and his healing mechanic has some thoguth behind it - at least more than tryandramere's. Loose my rage? Oh wait AAND it's full again. Not that he really need to use it with the AD steorid he get combined with lifesteal...

In the end it's just one point: why do we have a champ in the game who's sole purpose is NOT playing against the other team/with the own team 80% of the time? And why is that champ designed with trash counterplay options on top of that?

meh he is fine. If you are facing a tryndamere it is your teams responsibility to take him into account when making decisions. If he is taking an inhib then you probably shouldnt have engaged that tower to begin with and instead ran him off. Ward the map so you can cut off his escapes to pin him down. There is more then enough CC in this game to deal with what he does. I would say zed is waaaay more toxic then tryndamere could ever hope to be

lol Tryn is not OP. His early game is atrocious. Pick a snowballer and punish his early game.
