Can we like rework Tryndamere

He's not really OP just extremely unfun to play against, his stupid ult makes it hard to kill him even though he still does stupid amounts of damage. However he's also very 1 dimensional, great split pusher and obnoxiously good at 1 v 1ing people but clearly not good in teamfights. Something needs to be done.

He's completely balanced. As you just said, he is a "great split pusher and obnoxiously good at 1 v 1ing people but clearly not good in teamfights". He has strengths and weaknesses. His ult can be countered with summoner 14 , and if you have a team with you, it's not too difficult to kill him after his ult is completed.

Also, many others have similar ults that make them invulnerable for a bit or otherwise more difficult to kill... Anivia Bard Kayle Kindred Zilean

So why is it a problem with Tryn? Sorry I just don't see the real issue here.

He's not saying Trynd's unbalanced he's saying that trynd is an extremely bland champion and brings nothing to the team. Which is a very good cause for a rework considering it's a team game not a 1 v 1 game. Personally i think he deserves one more than shen and vel koz since they actually contribute rather than only being good at fighting one opponent.

We probably could, but it would take a lot - a lot - of work.

I'm not sure you could rework Tryndamere in a way that would appeal to his current players without: a) keeping the ultimate in some form b) keeping him somewhat mobile c) making him primarily auto attack based

Which is pretty tough if you also want to solve the problems people playing against him have.

I can't think of many people who would be happy with Tryn's ultimate staying (although it does have some counterplay - disengage and re-engage)

Some deeper systems changes will be needed (e.g. an item system to support melee auto attackers/light fighters - items to help them stick that the opponent can play around, a sufficient mix of offence and defence in a way that Juggernauts, tanks and assassins won't like and more). Reworking Tryndamere successfully will require a lot more work than other champions, and he isn't exactly priority 1 at the moment.
