Trundle is by no means outclassed by anyone. You still can't really counterjungle him (even in high level play, people die from invading the Troll)

The reason he's not useful is because of the introduction of champion after champion that can counter his Contaiminate.

Ahri can just dash away, as can Graves. Zyra can just snare Trundle and set up Vine Lashers if he tries to follow. Jayce can knock Trundle away and then escape with Acceleration gate.

Then look at older champions, like Mordekaiser and Heimerdinger. What can they do? Well, Morde can try to 1v1 and die. Heimerdinger on the other hand, he loses because Trundle steals tankiness and Pillar of Filth prevents Heimerdinger from trying to kite. Heim won't have his ult until lv6 you know, and his Grenade is easily avoided/ignored with Contaminate, so by the time Heimerdinger hits lv6, Trundle's got a huge advantage on him.
