How do you beat tryndamere as yorick

d4rkshock··2 votes·9,398 views

Im a yorick main in bronze. Yorick is probably the best top lanner to get out of bronze since they won't know how to deal with your gouls and they can't duel you if you get ahead. He's also easy to farm with. The problem is he's countered by alot of skirmishers. The worst offender is tryndamere. Yasuo is usually banned and more of a skill matchup where if it's a trashuo, you win at though it leans more twords yasuo. I ban fiora because shes a common pick. I do see tryndamere occasionally and riven. If I see tryndamere, im not picking yorick. Im picking pantheon and fucking his day up. This is assuming they picked him after you install yorick. Tryndamere's ult makes it hard to duel him past lvl 6.if you trap him in the wall, he will just spin out. Not even the maiden is enough. Again the ult. Even if you can get his homework low, he will heal it all back. So how do I beat him and so, stay under tower is not an answer.

What I mean is every bad matchup can still be won if played correctly. If you know the champion inside and outside ,you can beat hard matchups. I just want to know any counter messures so I don't feed super hard in lane.

you can, very easily, you must build yorick with early damage if you're losing THAT hard to someone you can easily hardcounter

very easy -- yorick actually counters tryndamere

add me on NA - avilus, yorick enthusiast, I can show you how to stomp the matchup

the gist of it is that you build full tank (iceborn, sunfire, thornmail, omen) and abuse your ability to walk between your wall (if trynd spins in, walk out of it, if he spins out, walk into it). he will have a hard time attacking you if you do this, all while your ghouls gnaw him.

for 900g you can win lane -- bramble vest. super easy, trynd is fucked once you get one armor item.

You still need triforce. That's a first item but I will look into getting a bramble vest then triforce.

you need a SHEEN item, tforce isn't required -- ice is good too

i'll go more in-depth to elaborate, because trinity force seems VERY appealing on Yorick, but there's two reasons you don't want to get it against Tryndamere specifically

when fighting Tryndamere, your issue as Yorick isn't lacking the damage to kill him -- it's surviving his onslaught through his ultimate.

damage means nothing towards a tryndamere because he'll have 5 seconds to render it meaningless while he's cleaving you with his ultimate activated. having trinity force means he's going to be able to dive and kill you VERY easily, because you're squishy.

likewise, you want to get a sheen --> iceborn gauntlet rather than trinity force. this gives you armor to mitigate his attacks, AoE sheen passive with a big slow zone, same CDR, boatloads of mana to spam shovel/spells. every part of iceborn gauntlet gives you leverage to tank and survive tryndamere longer than his ultimate duration, and thus, you survive and get to kill him.

oh, and I didn't even mention that iceborn gauntlet is 1000 gold cheaper than trinity force, meaning you'll get it sooner, allowing you to survive trynd's bullshit and stomp him earlier.

the only thing you're missing out on in the grand scheme of things is double sheen damage and attack speed, but in return, you get extremely vital tank stats and utility to stomp trynd.

once you get iceborn, you stack more amazing armor items on top of it to become unkillable, while also making your iceborn slow zone much, much larger because the size scales off of armor.

last thing -- yorick does not need to build any damage items to deal damage -- all of his damage comes from his ghouls, sheen proc, base AD, mist %current health, and maiden omen proc.

please don't rush triforce against tryndamere, or you will keep dying to him, building that against trynd in general before at least TWO armor items is suicide

please don't build it against trynd, a completely autoattack-based melee carry who relies on killing his targets during his ultimate, if you build heavy armor+hp he CANNOT kill you.

Wait until he uses E then trap him and send in the ghouls, then you can just walk away and you win the trade easily. I think Yorick has actually huge advantage against any champion that is strictly melee.

however, trynd kinda counters him since he not only splitpushes harder, but can easily destroy the circle wall with autos, easily kill ghouls with autos, and after that, he can just outduel yorick.
