Tryndamere Takes No Effort to Play

It takes less effort than Garen to play Tryndamere, He has LITERALLY no skillshots, his Q is a heal, his W is AOE, his E is mobility and his R is utility. This champion literally doesn't need to follow basic Game Mechanics, Didn't watch the map and got caught out? Pentakill for you! Split pushed too far? R Caught out? R Outplayed? R Fighting in lane? R Take too much damage? Nah heal that up with your 800 health heal that ALSO makes you deal damage depending on how low you are because why not.

The combo: Crit them once because your SUPER BALANCED 35% Crit lv 1 is balanced, they turn to run, BOOM 80% Slow, E, Crit again because Crit Chances are bs. Get a kill, splitpush to Inhib Tower before anyone notices, Pentakill because you pressed R and win the game.

Downvoters 100% Tryndamere mains that need their store full of Training Wheels.

My only issue is how Trynd can R through ALL CC. Like, why tho?

I mean, shouldn't proper focusing and stunning Trynd and whatnot before he even get a chance to press R be rewarded? But then he presses R and so it was K, more than K actually because he's running after you slashing down left and right like a discount store dunking prices while being immune to death itself for the duration.

I wouldn't say he takes no skill. Trynd is incredibly basic tho. He's the bare minimum you'd have for a pure melee champ. Garen is about the same. That said, he shouldn't ever really be good. If he ever gets over 50% I think that's a bad thing. Especially since AP Trynd came back. Riot over buffs E so much that he comes back an they refuse to do anything.

You think trynda takes no effort? Play Yi for once then we'll talk about champs that take no effort

Not every champion needs to have skillshots. Most of the time, point and click abilities are toned down on dmg utility and cc, to compensate for the point and click mechanic. They tend to feature longer cooldowns aswell. This has been known since league was just starting out. Skillshot champs had a risk reward system where if you are really good, you will be more effective than point and click champs on a micro level.

There are exceptions like ryze right after his rework when he could perma stun people. But generally point in click is fine.

I play a mean VI jungle. But i have to be careful about my macro decisions because i do not have enough strength on a micro level until my powerspike. I have had games where high level vayne players completely obliterate me, and that's how it should work.

Im tired of seeing people ranting about low skill champs, they do require skills, they are just different skills than you are used to. If no skill champions were so unfair, they would be all anyone plays. Yet you see champs like zoe dominating the game most of the time.

I saw someone here complain about yi as well. I see people complain about him all the time, but people dont mention that a single stun completely fucks him. Thornmail and similar items counter him. And he is relatively vulnerable early game to counter jungling.

Tired of hearing this ignorant circle jerk about low skill champions. Tired of seeing channeled skillshots on every single champ rework and new champ. Sometimes its just more fun to play a champ like old GP and have a good time, then to play something like new GP and have to monotonously set up every fight.

Here is a list of various things that other champions can do that Tryndamere can not do:

Inflict damage at range
Disable people (inflict CC's that prevent opponents from taking actions)
Deal magic damage
Turn invisible
Blink
Buff his defenses (through shields, armor, or MR buffs)
Move faster (he has a dash, but not a speed buff)

To say that Tryndamere takes no effort to play, is to ignore all of the deficiencies that Tryndamere players must take into account, relative to other champions.

by comparisom kayle is the same shit just without the crit.

barring ulting through cc ofcourse.

she has only point - click abilities.

I mean.

Technically you could say his E is a skillshot, since it's a damage spell that can miss.

You can dodge his w so it's a skill shot

Being stunned irl means you can't do shit, especially BECOME A BRICK WALL.

League of Legends is not real life, so what does or doesn't happen in real life is irrelevant.

I mean, CC's are all different, some people can cast spells while rooted, others cant, Yasuo can only ult knocked up targets, not stuned, and Tenacity can only reduce stuns and stuff, not silences, surpressions or Knocks.

And lore wise it would make sense too i gues? I mean when you are silenced in your mind you can't get angry, and when your mind is surpressed it can't feel most likely.

So if CC's and how champions relate to CC is different depending on the champion, what makes the way Tryndamere relates to said CC somehow illegitimate?

Is this gonna be the next Boards thing? Find a champion you don't like and then oversimplify their kit and playstyle dramatically?

He's pretty easy to play against. If anyone thinks he's that easy to play, just play Tryndamere and climb that way if you think he's that strong. Abuse it instead of complaining.

Tell that to my last 1/14/3 tryndamere teammate. We tried explaining to him that his ulti isn't retroactive, and must be turned on before and not after he dies. Timing it is quite delicate, too early and you lost really valuable fight time, a tiny bit too late and you don't get it off.

He also really does need judgement skills, (in the same way that Garen does), he can often win lane by knowing opponents CD's and waiting for them to poke, or use an ability to farm. An even larger amount of skill is needed to properly play his macro splitpush game, to work out when to TP, when to join a team, when to back off, where to ward vs whom.

I'm not saying he has great depth, (and critlotto is not a highly skilled game), but no champion is without a considerable amount of skill (I'm a useless feeder if play him).

Did everyone from Gamrplay come here to upvote this?

Trynd isn't OP.
