I have a real problem with Trundle. He's my favorite champion next to Singed, but he's now trash as a jungler. As he needs to be in melee range to actually do anything in a gank, he relies on his pallar for CC if the lanes don't have any. But with the meta loving champions with escapes, they can just blink/walk right over his pillar no problem without even having to burn a summoner.

Instead, he wrecks top lane really hard. Especially vs AD based champions such as Renekton, Gangplank, Talon and Wukong. Trundle is best at taking a similar role to Rumble: shutting down the enemy top lane by being a bully. Instead, he's just more AD rather than Rumble being AP. And he is anti-tank while being tanky himself in teamfights, while Rumble is more based on pure damage in teamfights. Top lane Trundle is free elo at Bronze elo levels like me. Shame I can't secure top very often...
