Why Trundle is nerfed?

he is good in the tank meta

56% win rate says hi.

To be fair, 1v1ing a Trundle that has been going even in farm with you after 6 is practically impossible

He's nerfed because his winrate is really high, and he obviously is pretty strong. However, his winrate is that high as he counters most popular toplaners either in lane or in teamfights, profits from masteries, and people finaly are on it that garen and darius hardly were the problem in the juggernaut patch, but the items which now finally get used by other champs like volliy or trundle aswell, who both happen to perform better right now than darius or garen ever have.

Looking at his winrate/gamelegth, it's obviously that most of his strengths comes from winning the lane and carrying that advantage into midgame, looseing his momentum the longer the game goes.

So given the current circumstances, nerfing trundle is not really uncalled for, but i disagree with how they nerf him. The longer ult cd is totally fine, as it hits mostly his early lane, and together with the deadmans nerf it probably is already enough. Nerfing the manacosts on his pillar in later ranks is totally bullshit. This will not impact his early at all and only become annoying later on then he already starts to fall of. If the would change it to 80/75/70/65/60 mana, so the late isn't impacted but he has to be more carefull about useing it early on, it would be ok. But why nerf the late in such a way if the early laneing is the problem?

Trundle is a very strong duelist, Deletes squishies in a matter of seconds, its a pain in the ass to peel, steals your stats, Heals passively from enemy units death.

But even then he is not that great of a tank/bruiser. Once he gets peeled that's the end of the line for him, go big or go home bby.

He is really god damn strong.

Have you seen him when he uses Fervor of Battle? It's pretty ridiculous.

And yes, he is strong in the current meta because it is a one (or none) tank meta.

The balance changes seem alright.

A skill that has a scaling slow should also have a scaling mana cost don't you think?

And a powerful ult like Trundle's should have a longer cooldown and mana cost should it not?

I see nothing wrong here

Ah sigh... Another troll post.... lololololololololololololololololololololololololol

He is good in the tank meta...........You can't tell me how to live my life.

You don't use pillar too often, and even then, it costs 10 more mana until mid game. Then they made his R match the standard across most mana champs and top laners. Increasing his R's cost to 100 mana is pretty standard across the board amongst mana using champs. R cool down. 80/70/60 >>> 110/90/80 With these changes, it matches most other top laners such as Riven, Darius, Renekton, Garen, Tryndamere etc. I think having the cool down be 110/90/70 might be better instead. So just lower the cool down by 10 at level 16, and these changes are not that big when considering the buffs he's gotten this season.

good laner/trader = check pusher = check duelist = check eat tank = check troll team with pole = check

this meta is huge favor to trundle because of masteries/ items....

Because he synergizes EXTREMELY WELL (far above most champions) with the new keystones. Fervor and/or undying makes him a disgusting monster while being able to 1v1 anyone at early levels and post 6 incredibly well. He already does well against assassins because he can get free stats from them and can also allow his team to blow up the tank from stealing their resists. Almost never a bad pick.

In what universe did Trundle get nerfed?

Do a search on the patch notes for Trundle's name - nada. Rageblade? Who thinks rageblade is OK? Trinity Force? No net change.

So... What?

Edit: LOL you meant the slap on the wrist mana nerfs on a champ with no mana problems. K.

Because he's just toooo good. Like I was playing Syndra a while ago, our Shen top was struggling against him so me and Sej went to help him and he literally got a triple and came out of it with more than half health. He needs to have some sort of punishment for the amount of dueling power he has.

From what I know that he could stop Zed, Yas, Fiora(I think the new one too) and Riven mid ult with his ice pillar as it cancels the attack/ability animation. If timed right you could stop a Yas ulting, hit him then the animations for his ult go off but no damage is delt. Same with Zed and riven, if not timed right with riven though it makes her timer for her ult get wasted and go on cooldown.

There's another post about it but long thing short he stops the OP with his Ice Openis

So that weak poor champs like and can stand a chance against this terrible broken monster.
