I understand that there are ways to counter Tryn, but I don't think that necessarily means he isn't OP. "Don't feed him early" is easy to say, but if he has a competent team supporting him, it seems like the way to avoid feeding him is basically to stay away, which leaves him free to farm minions (even with range, harrassing seems to carry risk given how much distance he can cover with his spin). You can stack armor, but he can counter with Last Whisper and The Black Cleaver. Buying Thornmail helps, but I feel like he usually buys enough Life Steal that it doesn't matter too much. You can CC him, but he's got Cleanse and Mercury's Treads to help him there. The point is that you have to go out of your way to counter him, but the things that help him get around those counters - The Bloodthirster, The Black Cleaver, Cleanse - are great for him ANYWAY.

Finally, he's got his team to help him. While you're trying to coordinate your stuns to keep him locked down, his Rammus is taunting you, his Malzahar has you silenced and suppressed, and his Annie is dropping a giant flaming bear on your head.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I feel like while the strategies that have been mentioned here CAN work, there are enough things that Tryn and his team can do to get around them that I still feel like he's OP.
