Can Trundle be played as a support?

I can see it work against certain support/adcs, but every ADC that is actually played has a gap closer/escape that goes right over your wall.

So no.

I can't even see it working then.

The only utility Trundle really has in his kit is Pillar of Ice. Subjugate probably counts as well, but if he doesn't have items he can't really use it.

Supports have to be champions that offer utility to the team without any gold income from creeps or kills.

Trundle is a bruiser. He requires gold income from creeps and kills to be effective.

No, he does not work as a support. Ever.

No. Trundle is frontline and he will never get the gold from supporting he needs to not die instantly. As far as utility goes, he does have a fair amount, but would you rather have a stat shred and a pillar, or an AoE knockup/massive aoe snare (zyra), or for that matter massive aoe cc as well as aoe stat BUFFS for your team (sona)

It's an interesting thought because trundle's sustain would be pretty decent bot lane due to his passive, but there's no way he could get in to trade effectively with a sona, or a caitlyn, or many others.

Lzh used to run trundle support into specific ADC matchups, but it was weak and they are bad...

Can you do it? Yes. Should you do it? No.

Not really. I mean, his slow is good, you can probably win your lane, but in teamfight he's pretty useless.

Has anyone ever tried doing that into an Anivia wall?

Yes. Condemning into Crystallize works.

So... Heroic Charge should work with Crystallize as well?
