Vague attempt to make some discussion about not-AP Tryndamere...

My friend has been pretty much exclusively playing Tryndamere in my games with him lately. He's actually been getting into arguments with people over top lane and refuses to budge from his decisions (I've called him out on it, before you ask). The thing is, while it's a dickish move, I have to admit he's actually been wrecking face with him in almost all the times I see him.

It's especially so when I happen to be jungling. I'll pick a strong CC champion like or  and just gank the top lane every time he's at high fury to try and get a snowball going. Trynd can initiate a gank so wonderfully well with his slow and it's actually hard to accidentally steal the kills from him because of his crits. After he's gotten fed and taken down the enemy tower, the game tends to devolve into the hilarious sight of him just following me around the map and demolishing everyone I catch even remotely out of position, or just busying himself taking down towers if that's not possible.

I've no doubts the new items have helped him out LOADS. My friend's typical build is often along the lines of, , , , and , and he also runs critical damage marks to augment that. It's ridiculously effective - he can't be kited, he's impossible to outrun or escape, he has ridiculous amounts of lifesteal and AoE damage and he can practically threeshot everyone who doesn't have over 100 armor. And of course, he's really hard to kill with his ultimate on just a 72 second CD. He's even freaking soloed Baron before his sixth item.

... I guess the moral of the story there is that in this new season, if you can build a team around Trynd by picking champions who can provide a lot of lockdown, he can easily wipe the floor with the enemy team as well as any fed bruiser can, if not more so. It's a very refreshing thing to see.
