Renekton or Trundle?

FancyKiwi·Oct 29, 2014·1 votes·885 views

I love bruiser, tanky top laners like Shyvana and Mundo. I got 4800IP and cannot decide who to get. Who should I get or do you have another suggestion?

Trundle is great if you take the time to learn him. He's not a champion you're just going to pick up in 2-3 games.

In my arrogant opinion, Trundle will win you more games than Renekton will because not only does he scale better but his build-pathing is also more flexible. He has one of the best ults in the game and his Pillar is super utility no matter how behind he is (provides vision, slows, and stops channeled abilities). Also, Trundle falling off late game is BS. He's one of the stronger bruisers late game (40 AD steroid, 80% AS steroid, increased healing/regen/lifesteal, and an ult that steals resistances all on relatively short CDs).

Sure he has a weakness against kiting, and most mages in general, but you can build around that.

Pros -Great Duelist -Good Sustain -Decent damage even when built really tanky -Scales well into late game -Has utility AND damage

Cons -Weak early game (particularly pre-6) -Prone to kiting

Basically what this guy said. You can fix the kiting issue by building furor and an Iceborn gauntlet (Iceborn makes your chomp HURT too). Renekton is ok if you need a lane bully and are vs another bruiser, but Trundle out sustains him and counters most bruiser tops really well. If the enemy takes an AP top, neither will do well though.

Irelia, Riven, or Renekton if you want a 4,800 IP bruiser. Trundle doesn't really fit in the meta right now, easily kited and although he has great dueling potential, he has very poor chasing potential.

I have Irelia and she is my main go to for top lane right now. I have considered Riven but after all her nerfs she seems like someone who needs to snowball.

If you make use of her Q combo to juke enemy laners and harass them, you can out-CS them. Once you get that lvl6, you can push a few waves into tower then roam to mid or smth

neither, buy Fizz and win. JK, I think that both of them are kinda UP at the moment, and to me Trundle falls off SO HARD it's not even worth it. The only thing going for Renek is his stun...which isn't even that good. Pick someone else, there are many more interesting champs than the ones you listed.

Trundle is all about late game, he only falls off if you build him full tank (NOT recommended).

Wtf, are you an idiot? Renekton is amazing. The only thing is he's sorta boring at times and his utility isn't as great as Trundle. Renekton has amazing sustain, powerful lifesteal, amazing escape potential, lots of good damage when you get that Tiamat, a great ult, can 2v1 with enemy jungler very easily in most cases, long stun which gives very good harass potential and easy shutdowns of important targets, scales well into mid and late game and is fairly flexible in build patterns, although Trundle is the clear winner in itemization.

well apparently I am....if you say so. Now I'll never be able to go to college, :(

Sorry mate, that was a rhetorical question just to emphasize my point. I'm just saying though, he's still a god tier top laner.
