-free 5 second invulnerability doesn't only mean that Tryn has a chance to inflict more damage before dying. he's basically "tanking" most of the focus-fire and CC for 5+ seconds so that his other team members are safe.

---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 (including some focus fire). and if the team ever tries to ignore Tryndamere just because he is "underfed", he will jump right into the adc and start bashing. because no matter how underfed Tryndamere is, he can deal enough damage to make the adc run away from team fights.

-strong early game AA damage with high first blood potential for snowballing. rather mediocre mid-game, but makes a comeback late-game once he gets infinity edge.

-Hyper carry if super fed. otherwise, he is a crazy lane bulldozer. (ignore him for one teamfight and he pushes two towers)

-his W takes away a BT sword and a Pickaxe (total of 80 damage) from everyone within radius at late game.

-very mobile, even in jungle.

-mana? what's a mana?

-Q gives him fair to above-average sustain in lane.

you say like Tryn can only top lane. he goes mid (surprisingly works... just not as good as other AD mids) or jungle, too. now wut?
