Talk:Trundle/@comment-7380799-20130324223049

Trundle is not any champ that is meant to go in alone for a fight. Whatever weird notion caused this is not the safest if he is out numbered by those who can dps more than he can take and are not already not at full HP.

A smart Trundle can use his pillar as a form of Initiation without actually getting close to a fight. For instance in MID lane, two of your AD teammates are in the bushes, normally the Ashe walking close could feasibly escape with a flash, however by using his pillar he can provide an oppurtinuity on an enemy that would normally survive with 100 HP or less.

Part of playing Trundle is playing smart but simple as well. Trundle can chase enemies and force them to burn a Flash to get away from him. In the same token he can escape enemies with a cominbation of Flash+Contaminate+Pillar of Filth. Often times I have seen people burn a flash to try and catch a fleeing trundle only to get ganked and slain not even three seconds later AFTER they have slain Trundle.

His Rabid Bite makes Brusiers into Tanks who built not enough DPS against Trundle. Can also force be used as a way to force a fed Carry to back off when they lose part of their DPS and are fighting on Contaminate(d) ground with Trundle who can actually make short work of such carries.

His Burning Agony is great for forcing Brusiers to back off in large or small teamfights. It can also be used to make him get a kill off a fleeing and very low health enemy, like an Ignite that also steals your AR/MR for a short time.

Building Spirit Visage on Trundle can be a Godsend if one would like to survive a bit more from enemies that seem to want to place a DoT from an ability, item, or summoner spell.

I was thinking of half a dozen scenarios for what I was typing and realized that Darius really is the Donkey's rear of the jokes for almost every scenario in a fair fight where both were fed and built correctly, used the right runes and masteries.

(I typically run a 9/21/0 with Red AR Pen, Flat Armor Seals, Scaling MR, and Flat AR Pen Quints.)
