The meta now in low elo here in Brazil is Darius JG. I think Trundle is a good counterpick. What do you think about it? Could you recommend a build and runes?

Trundle Jungle as a Darius counter-pick seems pretty good yeah.

There are definitely better champions out there to counter him but Trundle can be playable for the early skirmishes.

For runes I would run: Lethal Tempo - Triumph - Legend: Alacrity - Cut Down | Magical Footwear - Cosmic Insight.

I don't like Approach Velocity on Trundle Jungle mostly because if you're going to catch up to them you would be able to do so easily and if they flash away then they'd get out anyway.

For items: Full clear gives 900g,

First reset: Pickaxe - Blade of the Ruined King - Titanic Hydra/Stridebreaker/Deadmans Plate - Steraks/Knights' Vow/Locket

I would say that the core items would be BOTRK + any of the 2nd items (titanic/stride/deadmans) and steraks is really great third. Situational items onwards can be deathdance / spirit visage / cheap support items / hullbreaker etc.

I personally would stay away from Trundle Jungle despite it being decent against Darius. There are a lot of better champs in my opinion that can carry in jungle or provide a proper role for the team like a tank like sejuani/zac etc.

thanks,like!

Hello, thank you very much for this guide ! I find it incredible !
I have one question. Why tp is better than ghost ? We don't lose opportunities to take kills whithout ghost while we can still have a good farm whitout tp ?

Hi Asuncia, glad you found the guide useful!

Ghost received many nerfs and isn't as good as it used to be. It doesn't last long enough and the ramp-up speed is mediocre.

TP, especially in higher elos, is the most broken summoner spell in the game.

It allows us to play FOR the map and tempo will be better. This means we'll be able to reset better and lose less minions whilst also allowing us to get more on the map.

By being on the map longer, you are getting more gold and resources. There are times where the enemy can solo kill us with ignite/ghost/exhaust but will lose the lane because we're up in exp due to TP.

TP on trundle in the late game is also op. The threat of having TP up is enough to scare the enemy into playing defensively.

Hope this helps. If not, catch my streams or watch the youtube videos!

Yes, I understand. Thank you very much

Hey there kagaroo,
You asked for a guide review from this thread, so here it is, sorry for the delay.

click for review

How does this review work:

I'll be going into four 'main' topics: Cheatsheet, Content, Presentation and What can be Improved?. All of these topics alone can turn a great guide into an even better one. Just knowing the ins and outs of your champion alone won't be enough if you're not able to properly convey said information. The end goal is always to make it easier for the readers that come to your guide of course.

I'll specify these main categories with purple text within this review, as well as some subcategories which will mostly depend on your guide chapters and for that I'll use the following rating system:

rating system

Cheatsheet

>Runes: Adequate

Great, but some of the notes could use some proofreading, such as "Cassiopoeia" or "Boneplating" being one word instead of 2. Aside from that the first page's notes are formatted very well, but the other 2 skipped that formatting. I'd like to see it follow the same format as the notes on the first page. E.g. First what matchups etc. the page is good into and then any options that deviate from the page such as another rune. The last page only has other rune options, but no explanation of when to take them, or why.

>Summoner Spells: Adequate

I'd change the titles to only say "Standard" "Situational 1" and "Situational 2" -- optionally you could make it "Alternative 1" and "Alternative 2" instead. The brackets naming each spell feels unnecessary, anyone looking at them will notice what spells they are either way.

If & is the current best setup and all the others you do not "realistically need" at any point, it sounds pointless to include them as options at all if they serve no purpose. Going off of your other pages notes, it seems like they do have a purpose into hyper specific matchups, making me believe these sentences counteract eachother. The first paragraph for both spells is just useless if they have a purpose. If anything I'd mention that Exh/Ignite takes getting used to and keep your explanation for TP being suited as a standard setup if you're unsure what to go.

>Items: Adequate

You've got a very detailed explanation for & but your other 2 options lack notes worth much, so the same problem arises here. If is good into all ranged matchups & heavy poke matchups while is good into any melee matchup, what's the point of ever taking long sword start then? I feel like the notes could be made clearer here.

If it's better to get any other situational items as your 3rd item instead of -- doesn't really seem like much of a core item to me. I would also break apart the situational items into different sections of the same group, that way you can spread out your notes instead of having all of them on the same build, half of the notes you've written are unable to be read due to the sheer length hiding them from the screen.

>Ability Order: Exquisite

>Threats & Synergies: Exquisite

Note: Fine as-is, what you could do if you really wanted to is to add some synergies. Potential junglers that could work well in conjunction with .

Content

>1) Introduction: Achievements & Credentials: Exquisite

>2) Why play Trundle? Pros & Cons: Exquisite

>3) Frequently Asked Questions: Exquisite

Note: I'd personally change the title here to just "Frequently Asked Questions" -- it becomes too long otherwise and you talk about the item & rune options anyway within this section so there's no use including them in the title.

>4) Trundle's Identity & Mindset: Itemization ~ Why not Trinity Force?: Exquisite

>5) Goals & Tips: Exquisite

>6) Early Game: How to exploit Trundle's strengths.: Exquisite

Note: You have another in-depth explanation here of why to go Long sword + refillable, but again it reinforces the idea that your cheatsheet notes just doesn't make much sense. If Long sword is so incredibly good, then what's the point of the other 2, and if the other 2 options are good then what's the point of long sword?

>7) Mid Game: Sidelaning, Teamfighting, Creating Pressure: Exquisite

>8) Late Game: Sidelaning, Grouping, Playing for Picks: Exquisite

>9) Conclusion: Final Words: Exquisite

>10) The Sun and the Wind: Exquisite

Note: Personally speaking I don't like sections like these as they just serve as padding without really adding that much to anything. However, I'll leave the choice up to you whether you want to keep it or not.

Presentation

> Execution: Decent

I believe this is the only aspect of your guide that's lacking the most. The formatting is alright but other than that there's not much else to the presentation.

Here are a few coding guides that we already have on the site that could help you if you'd be willing to dedicate some of your time to learning it (or if you just want some quick templates to make your guide look a bit more tidy):

- Making A Guide (has lots of free to use templates)
- BBCode Guide (the actual bbcode guide if you'd want to know how different codes work)
- A Table Coding Guide (talks about the bbcode that is called tables)
- Responsive Columns (talks about responsive columns; mainly for mobile side coding)

>Theme of guide (color scheme): Decent

The guide has no theme and color wise it's doing fine. I wouldn't say using so many green & red colors is the best, but it's far from the worst. Depending on how you incorporate code if that's what you want, it may or may not make your color theme change, I'll leave that decision to you.

What can be Improved?

I haven't gone very much into things like optimal builds or runes etc. and for good reason. I can tell you're a very experienced player and so I trust that you know what builds and rune paths work best on a champ like and will just leave it there. Instead I've went more into things like formatting & code as I feel like this is where your guide currently lack.

Making guides more extensive takes a very long time and a lot of dedication and I'm quite sure you already know the way you'd like to structure this guide. If anything you could branch more in-depth about other topics related to gameplay but at the moment, your guide is doing fine.

Overall Thoughts

For your very first guide, it's well made. Like I said before, if you continue to work on your presentation / theme aspect of the guide, I'm confident it'll become a very solid resource for anyone hoping to pick up a champion like . I hope this review is of help and I wish you good luck on your journey. :)

Absolute banger of a guide. Was looking for something exactly like this.

thank you so much for the kind words!! catch the next livestream to see trundle carnage!!

hydra -> botrk -> dd/cleaver/hull/spirits/trinity

1) yes, spirits 3rd if they have heavy AP - FON is also fine, really great into gragas/morde but spirits should be the default MR item

2) Take overgrowth every time.

Second Wind: Aatrox, Gragas, Malphite, Gangplank, any ranged matchup.

Bone plating: Darius, Riven, Yone, Warwick, Olaf, Renekton, Rumble (can take second wind) any matchup where you CAN get threatened early levels/trading.

Demolish: singed, sion, any matchup where you win with absolute confidence (lower elo = greed demolish)

3) I try to NOT finish boots until after hydra+botrk, however if I reset on perfect gold for boots or if I'm vs certain matchups for example: singed/gragas/darius, where I need swifties to exist in lane or avoid deaths then I will finish swifties after hydra.

For tier 3 boots, the only ones you SHOULD be buying after 2 items (hydra+botrk) are swiftmarches since they're so overtuned and have insane synergy with Trundle. If you have perfect gold for swiftmarches then I would buy them after hydra+botrk, however if you have 1100g+ or if you can complete a major component like phage, steelbuckel (idk the armor+ad deathdance item) then its better to buy those components. please don't finish armor/mr t3 boots.

Hey Kagaroo, obviously I already have my main so I didn't read the entire guide for another champion but from what I saw, you've put a lot of effort into it and went in-depth for the macro game plan. Love the attention to details and the usefulness of the tips. It was fun facing your Trundle on the rift 🔥.
