Lets talk about tryndamere.

I'm sure everyone here has experienced the tryndamere syndrome. Retarded champion in my opinion. I'm currently sitting at platinum 1 and I still think tryndamere needs some form of a nerf. Why? Here's why I hate tryndamere.

  1. His ultimate. That's literally the only reason why tryndamere is broken. A late game hyper carry that out scales almost every champion in terms of damage who also can't be killed and has tons of mobility? Sounds like bs to me. When he is split pushing your turret down at bot lane past the 35 minute mark, you have a few options.
  2. Send a person down to stop him only to get dived under turret because he can't die and lose the turret anyway.
  3. Send two people down there only to have one of them die because HE CAN'T DIE then have him either spin into a double kill or spin out of danger.
  4. Send 3 people to stop him but risk losing that baron because their adc, (who also happens to be fed) will ace your team.

I already know what you guys will say. "Counter picks" Teemo Jayce Jax Malphite Rammus While it may be true that these champions counter tryndamere, all he has to do is sit under turret for the first 10 minutes, buy a cull, farm for another 15 then split push all game because he can't die and NO ONE CAN 1V1 HIM. And it's not like you can focus him in team fights either. With a fed twitch or viktor, you guys can try and chain cc the fed carry and most of the time you'll be able to kill them. With tryndamere, you can't focus him because of his bs r so he sits there laughing at you while his team aces yours. But if you don't focus him, then HE aces you. The only thing I can think of to deal with tryndamere is heavy cc. But when you have a midlane zed and a jungle khazix WHAT CAN YOU DO.

I'd like to listen to everyone's opinions on how to deal with a fed tryndamere because I sure as hell don't know what to do anymore.

Actually, a good Jax can duel a Trynda late game... So yes, some champions can match his dueling potential.

Remove the specific references to abilities and you're just talking about a dozen different champions who can all do the exact same thing (split push).

Tryndamere is the easiest split pusher to learn and arguably the best, but he doesn't lead by a very wide margin. There are champions that outscale him at it, champions that can start doing it earlier, champions that can do it faster, and almost all of them are stronger than him at flanking, ganking, picking, and teamfighting. Gutting Tryndamere won't stop the strategy, at best it would just make his players move on to someone like Jax and they'd do the exact same thing.

Why? Here's why I hate tryndamere.

1: His passive.

Losing trades at level 1-5 because Trynd got three lucky crits in a row is just straight up bullshit.

I used to be a trynd main and the amount of champions who make him useless is insane. Darious, nasus, jax, teemo, jayce, any tank with thornmail, quinn. He's honesty only good into very few matchups, and usually a team effort can make him useless too.

Well you shouldn't feed him to start.

He generally can't dive tanks in the mid game and some of them even outduel him unless he is crazy snowballed. Gnar outduels him at pretty much any stage of the game. Most juggernauts can beat him if they build an armor component on their first back.

If you're mid lane and you pick Twisted Fate then you can ult on top of him and throw a gold card so your team can catch and kill him.

If you're jungle you can pick Warwick and run him down after every ult while also being able to outduel him at most stages of the game. Only issue is that you can't stop him from splitting bot or you lose Baron.

Vayne adc can outduel him if she's half decent and properly uses her invisibility to maximize distance and get proper positioning on the Trynd.
