User blog comment:Reilock/Trundle Rework: Thoughts/@comment-5514182-20130403222247

Trundle the ugly troll didn't appeal to the audience. The fact that his skin was literally peeling off made him one of the least picked champions. The new Trundle still has a comical feel but also LOOKS strong, not like he's a cripple, hubbling around the battlefield.

It looks like RIOT is rework underplayed champions: Karma, Sejuani. That few players are picking. The new Trundl solves some of his current problems. His Q now slows so he isn't fully reliant on Red Buff and a Pillar to gank. His new ULT steals 30% of enemy's max health to fit with the High Health meta; imagine him with a BoTRK.

However, the Traditional skin I feel doesn't represent the old Trundle well enough. His body type is too archetypic: small head, broad chest, tiny waist and legs. His lore also is... Horrid. BUT AT LEAST HE HAS A DECENT SPLASH. Not like Quinn...
