He is a tier 1 jungler with all the others like maokai skarner lee sin blah blah, because he has amazing sustain and deals heck a load of damage. Also, late game he becomes extremely tanky due to items and being able to steal resists.

He isn't played because he's hard to learn. Simple as that.

No gap closers, almost as kiteable as udyr. And no AoE damage/anti-carry power for teamfights.
He's just not as good of a DPS jungler pick as someone like Nocturne.

One thing, that I believe crippled him is the patch where they made Baron immune to armor shredding.
Before he was much better because of the Baron/Dragon armor shred. You could do those reeeeally fast with a Trundle on your team. Since baron/drag are not affected by armor debuffs anymore, he lost that strength.

At least that's what my friend says ( and he used to play a LOT of trundle before)

That's a good point.

Trolling in a troll thread, so original.


Anyway I still play a good amount fo trundle, I really dislike what happened with the ulti on Baron/dragon. Agony is still a good tool for an early dragon since you still get plus armor and mres, but yeah it was better.
I'm going out to say he's prolly a top 5 jungler rite now.
Pillar of Filth is one of the best teamfight CCs of the game, but it takes lot of experience.
Facts are:
1. in competitive jungler is based on team strategy, him not having a main role ends up not being picked
2. in solo a lot of picks he shines against are either banned or not picked.

For all you questions about jungling

Except for Yorick, who does he have a good time against?

Apart from everyone without a gapcloser since they can't surpass his pillar.

No damage? Trinity+Cleaver Trundle hits hard. And by hard I mean he hurts like a truck.
