User blog comment:AtheistUntoDeath/Which of these champions would win? part 7/@comment-24073465-20140614203815

Well, in my opinion, I love Braum, and wish he wins....but, once again, let's go check on all the points...

1) Physical Nature: Trundle is strong, no doubt about that....dude's a troll, living in the Freljord, plus his animation itself shows musculature;he can take a hit and hit back....however, I can't say much on his strength, other than he doesn't seem stronger than most other League guys....It's said in the lore on how he out-muscled the Ice witch's guards, which would probably be Frost-guard soldiers or something....however, since they're not some mythical beasts or an actual army (I agree there'd be many soldiers, but I figure it'd be something similar to most games, where there are 1 or 2 per hallway or something....if he went quick, he'd probably take them out before the alarm was raised)...

Braum, on the other hand, PUNCHED THROUGH A MOUNTAIN....the closest I've heard of something like that happening is the legend of John Henry, and even he used hammers; Or Sabin Figaro, the Motherf***er who suplexed a train.....plus, the guy has a body that would make OLAF AND PANTH LOOK LIKE WEAKLINGS!...Seriously, look at the muscles on that guy and I dare you to say he hasn't been juicing it up like Canseco and A-Rod...

In Physical Strength, Braum wins hands down....

2) Mental Nature: Trundle is shrewd....One thing I can see is that if/when he sees he's not going beat Braum in a straight-up fist-fight, he's gonna try to plan a way to win....It could be anything such as using terrain advantages, a false friendship and sucker-punch, taking a poro hostage (if possible), to even a simple "Look out! The Ice witch is behind you!" followed by a club to the head or braum-sack when he turns around....

Braum is THE Nice Guy....He is the spitting image of Alex Louis Armstrong...The guy's quotes itself show he's friendly to his enemies, fights only because needed, and would rather share a drink of goat's milk with them instead....because of this, I feel he'll be rather trusting, and may fall easily for Trundle's wiles....

Mental Nature-wise, I have to give it to Trundle...

3) Battle Skills and Styles: Neither are really trained warriors....Trundle WILL have some fighting skills, since he's effective leader of the snow trolls and has survived against the wild animals and any human attackers in the tundra for so long....However, he won't really have actual training in armed or unarmed combat beyond "If it moves, keep hitting it"....

Similarly, as Braum is/was a goat herder, I believe he wouldn't have much in the way of actual fighting beyond the usual "1) Hit it. 2) Is it broken/fleeing for it's life/ dead? If no, repeat step 1" method....

Along with these, Trundle is able to sap (at least temporarily) his enemies offenses and defenses....along with this, he can modify terrain to catch up to enemies, as well as put the fight in his favor (increasing attack speed, healing capability, etc)...

Braum has prime defensive capabilities (Damage absorbing shield, Standing beside himself), and good harass with his Winter's Bite, Concussive Blows (Should the Troll get close enough) and Glacial Fissure....Even if Trundle uses Subjugate to temporarily take away his defensiveness, he can use his shield to block much of Trundle's attacks, along with Winter's Bite and Concussive Blows to stop the Troll whenever he comes close....This has the settings to become an almost infinite cat-chasing-mouse game....On top of that, Braum should be able to throw those boulders towards Trundle....And even if he has an unbreakable club, it can't really do anything against a man-sized boulder heading towards him, beyond get out of the way...

Fighting Style I have to give to Braum, simply for showing that a good offense is an UNBEATABLE defense....

4) Weapons: Trundle has an unbreakable True Ice club, and Braum has an Unbreakable Door....While both are dangerous, Trundle's club can be easily blocked by Braum's Shield, and Braum isn't really gonna whack Trundle with his shield due to it's heaviness, instead relying on his super-huge fists....

Weapon-wise, it's a tie as club=shield in effectiveness....

Overall, I believe that so long as Braum stays away from Trundle, he will easily win....Should Trundle use his Terrain Manipulation tactics to come closer, Braum can use his own slows/stuns to regain distance between them...Also, even if Trundle gets close, Braum only needs to punch him for a bit...With fists that can break through a mountain, Trundle's puny troll skull doesn't stand a chance....Without trolling, Trundle should not win a fight against this relative of Whitebeard....

In this case, I simply have to give it to Braum....However, I could be wrong and/or biased, so if you agree/disagree with my points tell me why and we'll see what happens...
