Tryndamere is getting another skin...

Wtf is wrong with you Riot? 1st off why does he need another skin? There are champions who need new skins way more than Trynd does. (Yorick Cass and Illaoi come to mind).

And more importantly, this means Riot actually doesn't think Tryndamere needs a rework. Tryndamere is one of the most binary champions in the game. He fails his theme as hard as Aatrox. His kit is boring and toxic. Yet he is still getting skins which means he won't get a rework any tune soon. I hate to say that Riot is out of touch with the community, but this is some pretty damming evidence

Riot's already confirmed that Yorick, Viktor, Cassiopeia, Swain and other champions who haven't gotten a skin for years are getting at least 1 skin each this year guaranteed, and they want us to hold them to their word on that. I've been waiting for a Viktor skin for almost 4 years now, all I want is a skin that's completely different and not tech related since the 3 skins he has all already are. But with this new Chemtech theme I'm fearing they're gonna make a Chembaron Viktor skin, which is basically just default Viktor with some green tubes. Give me Elderwood Viktor, Totemic Viktor, Haunted Viktor, literally any theme that's not yet another tech Viktor. There's so much potential and so many different themes he could work in.

because his playrate is decent enough and he is a popular enough champion to warrant one?

I'm pretty sure they made a stance on this, and how it was more of a "whether its actually worth the time or not given their playerbase"

And more importantly, this means Riot actually doesn't think Tryndamere needs a rework.

its at least 2 years. happened for warwick and galio.

Tryndamere is one of the most binary champions in the game.

How else do you make a champion who can fight an overloaded laner? by bringing their strengths out to the point where they become binary. (came right from riot)

He fails his theme as hard as Aatrox.

There's way more champions that don't fit their theme or follow their lore.

His kit is boring and toxic.

nice adjectives. super descriptive. Trynd's kit is supposed to be simple. If you want another fiora/(input unnecessarily complex champion made or broken by a "gimmick" that was added), go play fiora/(input unnecessarily complex champion made or broken by a "gimmick" that was added),.

Yet he is still getting skins which means he won't get a rework any tune soon.

See first point.

Considering your elo, It ends up being more "you're out of touch with your own problem solving skills" if you think trynd has an issue. not to mention riot doesn't balance around low elo, but then again, it is riot's game after all. (also I don't play ranked, and protip: don't splitpush in placements. you aren't put with all low elos. learned that lesson for ranked this year.)

I would give this argument a 5/10. needs some evidence that isn't referencing other champions he should be more like or criticizing his kit without offering solutions that include removing the iconic parts of it. I love seeing people complain about a problem without providing a solution that would be reasonable.

Also, I already downvoted myself for saying something negative about tryndamere. Thats what happens on these kind of bandwagons anyway, might as well just start it.

This has been Riot's M.O. since I started playing in season 2 (or was it season 3?). It's never changed. Trynd will have 54 skins before Zac has a third.
