Ok so instead of stuns, a silence and instead of tankiness to last long enough, it's massive burst focused on him cause he's a squishy support. I see. Well, the thing is that in my opinion Trynda would be too weak if his ult could not be activated if cc'd. His counterplay currently is basically (assuming he's not way ahead) kite and burst that forces him to activate ult before he does much. Changing the ult in such a way would probably change his play style way too much and he'd feel too clunky since you'd have to have extraordinary prediction skills for maximum ult usage vs a variety of champions. As it is now, it can be used at the nick of time after the player has considered the incoming dmg which takes enough skill as it is. As surprising as it may sound Trynda's ult being used perfectly is a rare thing. Not saying that it is not strong, since it is, but it's not as brainless as people make it out to be.

To be honest I think he's really cool and I enjoy his and Olaf's "the lower hp he has the stronger he becomes" theme. So changing his ult entirely would probably ruin his concept. Thus every time I tried to find a change it basically came down to sth like this What this does is basically allow him to still have a small window to run away with his ult but not tank damage for days while being "a coward" which goes against his theme and his mocking shout. It also reinforces the theme of his rage while in combat and gives a compensation for the early nerf with late game (post 16) insanity which is fair imo since he still won't be a good team fighter but he'll remain an excellent duelist/splitpusher. Keep in mind that I'm not saying he ignores blinds/dodge/block etc. Just saying that his auto attacks count for stacks like Xin's q leading to the third hit even if they don't deal dmg. Not having this would make certain champions abusive against him which is why during this new ult he'll also reduce the effectiveness of attack speed slows in order to manage those 2 autos and not die by someone that just presses a button and counters his ult with a basic skill.
