I agree but he's a legitimate pick in a lot of solo top lanes.
As long as you understand what he is good at and when/why to pick him...
As long as you understand what lanes he wins and what lanes he loses and are realistic...
Then yeah, he can be a very strong pick imo ^_^
he can , but take this from the point that i'm still in duo top... i was soloing top vs a kayle and tryn. at level 8, they try a towerdive. both ult on tryn, i kill tryn and get a double on kayle. full hp by the time they're back. and really? he can be great, but thornmail+ignite totally counters him. counterpick teemo/olaf.

Olaf is one of the few champs who beats full build Jax in a 1v1 no?
I am assuming he wins but I haven't had enough personal experience to make that claim :P
If there are any Jax players I'd be grateful if we could run the match ^_^

I'm not really sure how to go about discussing this :P
The kayle and tryn were awful if they dove and both died without killing you.
Tryn is not an easy champion to play well.
Thornmail counters him but ranged AD's can't really afford to build it and it doesn't make a huge difference even if they do. Same for AP's.
(Exception being that Tryn is so fed that he deals more damage to himself than you can deal to him... This just doesn't happen at higher levels of play.)
Teemo sorta counters him.
Olaf beats him in lane.
But none of those above things mean you can't play Tryndamere to a good rate of success in a lot of your games.
There are 1900 and 1700 players who main Tryn, they do just fine ^_^

Personally, all I need to beat Trynd is a well-timed exhaust and either a 'flash-move' or reliable CC. The best Trynd's I have seen (fed doesn't count) are the ones that don't desperately need their ultimate every time you look at them the right way. The ones that can play the game and keep up without the necessity of invulnerability. I personally think of it as more of a team fight or anti-gank ability. Just like Mundo and his heal+speed. Too many people run away with these things. They are just generally playing the champion wrong, in my opinion.
The difference between Olaf and any other AD champ is that Olaf can't be countered as easily by exhaust and the like. True damage hurts. I could stop an Olaf with Jax provided I survived long enough to last out his ultimate. If I can keep stacks on him without dying, when his ult is over, he is going to have a serious problem either running or trying to finish me off.
