User blog comment:AtheistUntoDeath/Which of these champions would win? part 7/@comment-1272757-20140614074249

This battle really comes down to brains vs. brawn. While Trundle doesn't necessarily come off as such, he is most certainly an intelligent perso- er, troll. Twice he came up with lies and schemes on the spot that saved his life and ultimately worked to his benefit. And let's not forget that one of those schemes worked on Lissandra herself, aka the ice witch that has lived for centuries and played chess with Freljord as the chessboard and its inhabitants the pieces. He's also quite capable of altering the terrain to make sure he always has the advantage while also interfering with the enemy's movements and capabilities. He's also displayed the ability to sap the offensive and defensive prowess of enemies to turn his normally subpar (by troll standards) physique into an unstoppable juggernaut.

Braum on the other hand could be described as a jovial force of nature. He can easily punch through mountains and his shield is absolutely and totally indestructible. Nevermind that he survives and thrives in the frigid Freljord without even wearing a shirt. He's also got an absolute advantage in extended fights, his punches being so powerful he can actually give people concussions, as well as his shield's mystical prowess. But on the other hand, while he's rather philosphical I wouldn't call Braum a tactical genius; it took him three days and three nights to come up with the idea of punching through the mountain itself rather than trying to break through the door itself. While he's certainly not stupid, he would be best described as "straight-forward", always pushing through the most direct route rather than finding a shorter, sneakier route to victory. A very simple strategy that Trundle could easily take advantage of.

To be honest, I really don't know who would win. Trundle can sap Braum's immense physical capabilities and add it to his own while also manipulating the terrain to keep Braum just where he wants him, but Braum can easily smash through whatever structure Trundle might conjure, and if he can land a few solid blows on Trundle then the Troll King will be in a VERY dangerous position. A problem exacerbated by the fact that Trundle has no means of range, while Braum is plenty capable of making or closing distance.

I MIGHT say Braum because of his sheer physical power and his shield, but it could just as easily go to Trundle if he could find a way to outsmart and outplay Braum, perhaps even take advantage of Braum's kind heart. It really all depends.
