"Tryndamere is toxic because he split pushes all game"

please, can I stop hearing this? this is not even a complaint about a champion, I could split push on anybody with at least 2 of the 3 following:

fast tower taking
good waveclear
difficult to kill

on top of the fact that there are an enormous number of champions that can do this, it isn't even a champion based thing. this is a players playstyle plain and simple. personally, it's been my favorite way to play top lane since I started the game. "it's frustrating to play against" doesn't mean crap either. if that mattered, then every playstyle would be toxic. saying that it's toxic because you don't like it is basically saying riot shouldn't let you lose. maybe they should remove defeats and just have every game pop up at 30 minutes with "everyone's a winner!"

There are quite a few duelist who can win 1 v 1 vs Trynd, as well as offer more in team fights.

My go to counter vs Trynd is Warwick, jungle or top. I always go Bork and Thornmail then usually Randuins (health good vs mage burst). In team fights you can isolate the AP with your R, this allows you to stack more armor, although I usually get Spirit Visage teams with some AP.

Tryndamere doesn't have to split push. He can be an amazing assassin in team fights going for the adc and middle laner. A game I had earlier I carried as Tryndamere and didn't split push once all game. My team was down by 11.3k gold 3 minutes before we won. Once Tryndamere gets full build against a team with little cc he can basically do whatever he wants to and split pushing isn't the only thing that all Tryndameres will do. There are situations when split pushing is the best thing to do and other situations when it is the dumbest thing you can possibly do. That game my team needed me to carry in team fights so I stayed with them and we were able to start winning fights late game. If your team can't win 5v5 team fights then split pushing when it takes 2 or more enemies to kill you, as is the case with most Tryndameres, is the best thing you can do for your team. Lose every 5v5 or create multiple 1v2, 4v3 opportunities for your team...I pick the one with a chance of success.
