Trundle abilities combo (CC suggestion)

sungold·3/15/2015, 2:01:32 AM·9 votes·8,360 views

I've heard my friends talking that trundle has a hard time catching up in this season. My friends told me that is hard to kill an adc even with fash cuz now everybody can play a really safe adc or one of the many really safe champion that has 1000 ways to escape or a gap closer. And they mentioned that those were his problems in this "jumpy" meta: poor gap closer and poor CC.

now i don't want to understimate trundle, i know that it is possible for him to have a good damage, and i was hoping that with this "buffing tank junglers patch" maybe trundle would shine, and i'm am still currently wanting for it. BUT i wanted to share my idea. could be a crazy and op idea but in reality... if you think about it.. it not be a big deal... maybe i'll change you're mind. Let's see:

I thought of a skill combo that would make one of trundle's abilities have an adicional effect: http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130526185805/leagueoflegends/images/e/e7/Subjugate.jpg **R - Subjugate then folowed by http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130526185804/leagueoflegends/images/9/9c/Pillar_of_Ice.jpg ** E - Pillar of Ice

  • So, in my idea you would R a enemy champion, **marking **him for the 4 seconds. then if you **E **on top of that marked champion you could trap only that marked champion with a form of CC like an **Entangle **(ex:Amumu R) or a Root for 1.75 seconds for example the cc duration could be lower (this is just a random number).

For riot, i can imagine that coding this would be very hard, so i'm just droping this idea cuz it's stuck in my head, it sounds really good in it.. and i wanted some feedback from more people that main him known trundle a lil bit or at least have some experience plaing with him.

As a Trundle player, I believe it's safe for me to make the claim that Trundle is fine and doesn't need any more CC. He already has an AOE knockup+slow, along with his Q's mini-slow and W's speed boost. He also tends to build Blade of the Ruined King, which has its own slow, and/or Trinity Force, which gives MS and Phage's movespeed passive. Anyone that doesn't have multiple dashes/blinks is fair game if his E and W are off cooldown. They might dash through his Pillar, but they'll still be slowed on the other side, while Trundle is charging at them at high speed because of his W... He's fine.

I don't really think that Trundle needs any kind of hard CC like that you mentioned. He's a great chaser once he gets some Tenacity.

He completely dominated toplane at the beginning of Season 4, and he got nerfed. Any small buff on him would get him back to the top tier. I don't mean that is a bad thing, but his kit is great as it is right now. We have enough with a Lissandra in the game, we don't want 2.

trundle is a duelist, you're trying to make him a generic cc tank...

Proelium3/15/2015, 3:02:33 AM2 votes

How about this...

If Trundle R's a target while they're on his W... they cannot leave his W unless Trundle does? They're... Subjugated. They can move around in that area and do moves and everything... just... can't exit unless Trundle does till the ult duration is over.

Just a thought, maybe not a good one.

Proelium3/15/2015, 3:04:37 AM2 votes

Heck, make it even harder to do.

If you are on his W and he puts E in the W then ults you... you're tethered to the Pillar. Can still do moves and autos and stuff but can't go past the end of your rope.

You're subjugated.

I have never had a problem catching up to people as trundle, especially with that E, R and frozen domain.

Trundle's one and only issue is that he's at his best when tanks and bruisers are at their best because Trundle counters tanks and bruisers. He is completely fine, please don't draw too much attention to him, he's probably the most balanced champion in the game.

Tell your friends they don't know what you are talking about. An experienced Trundle man right here, I have learned how to E and pin people rather well, and with W giving a speed boost and E slowing and or pinning, I haven't had issues catching people. Especially an ADC.

Trundle meta isn't jumpy, he really won't go out of style as long as tanks, bruisers, or adc's exist. He steals stats and as long as he has stats worth stealing he won't be going anywhere.

The only problem I had with him last night was his Attack speed being low despite having 20% from masteries and runes, but even then it isn't that bad.

All and all, leave Trundle alone now, the buffs and bugfix on his ult were nice, but I prefer he be left alone.

Trundle does NOT need a buff A slight meta shift is what is needed to make him popular

Trundle is actually a pretty good jungler this season. Pawnce actually just released a video on YouTube discussing his recent buffs and his strengths in the jungle already

Trundle is in perfectly good spot right now. if anything the recent buffs are bringing him rather close to the edge. the reason you don't see him much is because trundle is a bit of a niche pick. He thrive up against other tanks and bruisers be he can scale off of there stats. The secret to trundle is to just not dive the back line. Trundles specializes in tearing apart other bruisers and tanks so just beat on the enemy front line and peel with your E to make some breathing room for your carries, then once you have dealt with them you can turn your attention to the enemy squishes.

what about making the marked champion become the pillar itself? like

Lissandra

Cool concept, but I feel like it would be the step to far for trundle, Trundle has a lot going for him in damage, tank, and sustain. His weakness with his lack of hard cc and ease of being kited balances it all out right now. Sometimes, well lots of time Trundle won't be able to kill that squishy VIP, but that tower they just left behind is easy picking so there is always that. Besides if a single champ can do everything what is the point of the 4 other guys on your team.

Hmmm encasing him in the pillar if they got the ult debuff thats actually pretty creative gameplay wise and gives him more of a Freljord feel

4nth0l0gy3/15/2015, 5:13:40 AM1 votes

...So wait he wouldn't pillar, he would just Liss-ice-cage the R'd champion?

NO. I AM A TROLL, I MUST DILDO MY FOES.
