Two years ago was the first time I ever played Cookie Clicker... I would skip school to play Cookie Clicker... I would stay awake at night to play Cookie Clicker... But in the end it was all worth it. All those days klicking that cookie like a total madman have prepared me. They have recreated me! I AM NOW.. THE ULTIMATE TRYNDAMERE PLAYER

Hi! Mastery 5 tryndamere here. The only thing remotely difficult about tryn is knowing when to q.

DuhpopeJun 16, 20161 votes

My first main was Tryndamere, and the thing that wasn't necessarily difficult but more of a challenge to perfect, was getting the perfect timing for his ult to maximize his invulnerability and still get out in time to Q if needed.

hi mastery 7 tryndamere here. Just go ap and always Q.

Hi league of legends bishop here. A champion like KogMaw prays for peel, while others like Yasuo prays for wombo's, as decreed by the all mighty zhu. Tryndamere Prays to the crit gods, so that he may 3 shot thy adc, then do the honor of reciting the famous quote from the desentant of faker, ruler of the top lane dyrus, "Outplayed".

You're right just look at this guy he's a pro at Tryndamere. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A--5dhngMWY

What's harder than fully right-clicking someone & then hits R when you're almost at 1 hp?

I guess having to manage that blood "resource" on your Q is pretty difficult now, right? :P

underscores222Jun 16, 20169 votes

It's technically rage, just like shyv and gnar Aatrox is blood since it's a blood well.

l Helios lJun 16, 20161 votes

Thematically it's blood man. Vlad's rage would be pitiful.

SkelenthJun 17, 20161 votes

You remember this is about Tryndamere? The colour of the ressource isn't always important. After all, Rumble doesn't start to use energy after he Q's three times, right?

l Helios lJun 17, 20161 votes

Bro. It's a joke about Vlad's Q. Not trynd Q. Tides of Blood is a Vlad main. Vlad is also not difficult to play. That's the joke.

Skill is a lot more than just mechanics.

Sure, Tryndamere has simple mechanics. Vayne and riven are very mechanically difficult.

But if Tryndamere is 'easy' then why is it that so few players in bronze/silver/gold/plat play trynda to get into Diamond? How come some players can get to diamond playing trynda?

The truth is that even mechanically simple champions require substantial game knowledge to make it to high elo. In fact, simpler champions often require more game knowledge to be successful. Look at Shaco. Shaco mechanics are simple. But he is one of the least if not the least noob-friendly champion in the game.

I wish people would stop conflating 'skill' with 'mechanics'.

I wanna argue with you because I hate laning against Tryndamere so much, but you're right on all accounts. +1 to you. Any idiot with mechanical skill can climb even if they have next to no game knowledge on intensive but highly forgiving champs like Fizz, Zed, LB, etc... And I respect someone playing someone simple (even if it's Tryndamere) but applying their game knowledge infinitely more than some nitwit who can press buttons slightly faster than everyone else.

That said, I still think Tryndamere is a stupid Champion. Honestly if they removed his "suddenly win the lane" crit-chance thing I'd be fine. Make it into something similar to Fervour For Battle imo that scales with an extended trade/fight.

cocacolalipsJun 17, 20161 votes

How is that any different from any other marksman buying critical chance items? Don't blame the champion, blame the stat and the RNG god.

Over InnsmouthJun 17, 20162 votes

Because no one else in the game gets crit as an innate stat, and thus no one else in the game can win lane so early through pure RNG.

The only other Champion that can crit without Runes/items is Jhin, but his is telegraphed and is always set to his fourth shot.

cocacolalipsJun 17, 20161 votes

I would argue that a marksman acing your entire team with 3 critical hits in a row at a baron fight 25 minutes into the game versus the marksman on your team who didn't land a single critical hit and thus losing you the game is more game changing than a random critical hit at level 3 for a big whoop 100 damage.

But I guess it's more fun to trash one of the worst melee champion in the entire game hah.

Over InnsmouthJun 17, 20161 votes

That is...so far removed from what my original point was.

cocacolalipsJun 17, 20161 votes

You complain about critical chance but you miss the elephant in the room. Way to go.

Over InnsmouthJun 17, 20161 votes

I'm talking about a specific instance of critical chance, specific to the way it interacts on a certain Champion; that being that it can cause a lane to be won/lost without any extraneous input from the player or misstep from the opponent. You just happen to have won the trade - and potentially the lane - from luck.

Crit chance isnt particularly healthy in my opinion anyway, but everyone else who employs it (bar Jhin, but his crits are reduced anyway) has to actually build the stat to use it, even Yasuo.

I don't like randomly getting double/triple critted by tryndamere early game(well any time really) but especially when he only has doran's blade lol. Oh and plus he can chase you forever XD

thats why to beat trynd u need more game knowledge cuz if u choose a melee fighter like yi or someshit ur gunna get stompd but of you go with some good ole safe poke ull be fine and to me trynd ur trying to shut down early to mid so that those crits mean nothing i dont play him but i like that about him if you fight in his face expect at least 2 crits if cant handle those just yet zone him off that farm

I was watching voyboy play trynd against graves, he had no crit items and crit 4 times in a row because he's trynd. Champions should take skill, not luck.
