Who should Trundle watch out for?

I've been having a blast with jungle Trundle right now in this tank meta. Trundle is SO GOOD versus tanks because of Subjugate, making even the most robust opponents into squishies.

That said, I'm curious as to who you guys think would give Trundle a hard time. In particular, I'd like to know who you'd watch out for in ranked.

My first thought on Trundle counters would be Nidalee. Not vulnerable to Chomp, very maneuverable, and not a good Subjugate target.

Second is Gragas. Again, no AD, can maneuver out of Pillar of Ice, but he's an okay Subjugate target. His ultimate is loads of trouble, though.

I've been playing trundle in the jungle too. Have you tried devourer? It's fricken scary.

Anyway what counters trundle is good kiting. If you can't get to them and start smacking then you don't really have anything to fall back on. Ahri and Ashe are some really solid picks against trundle. In a straight up auto attack fight trundle can beat anyone besides Tryndamere maybe a few others

I don't really know who counters him in the jungle (though both at full health very few of the other junglers can duel him as the game goes on), but I will say I think Cinderhulk might be better than Warrior for Trundle.

Anyone who can kite him. A movespeed boost is not a substitute for a dash or good old' cc. Don't be fooled.

Grievous Wounds - Always be careful when anyone has this.
AP champions, but particularly ranged. He can deal with them late game, but most of them will destroy him early on. Many can also kite him all game.
A good Irelia, Darius, Riven - Trundle wins late game, but they can cheese-snowball on him early if not careful.
A good Jax, Tryndamere, Yasuo - If played well, they can win early and they most definitely win later. Never let them get an early kill on Trundle or you're gonna have a bad time.
Vayne, Quinn, Teemo - Just don't lane against these champions. Later on, Trundle can ignore Teemo, has to be weary around Quinn (how dangerous she is depends entirely on how she builds), and should just avoid Vayne.

Also, I'm sure this goes without saying, but a good Lee Sin and Shaco pose trouble for anyone. Be careful around them early on and you'll outscale them.
