Garen was reworked not because he was low-effort, high-gain (come on, he still is, basically), but because he was similar to an assassin in that he was overwhelming early game then fell off like a truck on a bridge later, which was deemed toxic.

Trundle's kit changes were more of a touch-up to make him slightly more comfortable to play than anything else. His VU just went hand-in-hand with his lore rework since his old lore had basically written him into a corner.

Most of the people who complain about it often tend to have the mistaken belief that old Trundle was a hero of some sort, which he absolutely wasn't.
