"-this is probably why some people think "Tryn is useless in higher Elo". people think that, just because people in higher Elo know how to CC-lock a Tryndamere, Tryndamere is weak, all of a sudden. i look at it the otherway: Tryndamere basically made the enemy team waste all their CC on Tryn"

Despite how you want to look at it, Tryndamere fails in higher Elo. You rarely see him. Even at the top of Silver he sucks donkey balls. If Tryndamere is able to get away with anything it is because the rest of his team did their jobs, or his opponents failed at theirs and/or picked very poorly. Either way, it wouldn't matter if it was Tryndamere or Hiemerdinger. With the right team comp, team play, and target prioritization any character can shine.
