Return to Trundle Top?

[quote=ShenMasterFlash]So right after Trundle's rework, I tried him out a good bit in the top lane and was moderately impressed. Did the usual BotRK/tanky build often with Hydra as well, and just splitpush all game. Obviously the perks are that he is basically an immovable object in his lane and can sap enemy's AD, and has a built-in mechanic in his ult to deal with the tankiness that most top laners will eventually get. The weakness is that Trundle is pretty lackluster in teamfights, doesn't really scale as well as some other top laners (even though a full build [[Trundle]] who ults the right person can be pretty terrifying), and obviously the lack of a gap closer. Well, it's been a few months since I've played any Trundle, but there's been so much talk about how good 2 items are lately: [[Spirit Visage]] and [[Trinity Force]]. So obviously a number of champions could work with both these items, but I'm not sure anyone synergizes with each of them quite as well as Trundle. New triforce helps his kite-ability a bit (and don't forget how much metagolem trundle loved trinity force), and spirit visage amplifies his passive, lifesteal, and ult. So I've only tried it a few games, but once you get some lifesteal going, good luck killing this guy. Granted, you want to be able to just sit top all game, so it might take a certain team comp, but I just have to say this seems really strong to me. Obviously disclaimer: I'm not really good at the game. Low ELO ftw. Just wanted to get some opinions from some better players lol.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]Yeah I think New Trundle with Triforce and Bortk is gonna be really nice. Visage only if you need MR.[/quote]

[quote=tehAsian]Trundle top is OP Arcana beat me with it a few hours ago gg pls nerf. Jk, it's really good because Trundle is stupid good at dueling, even better than Skarner I think and that's saying a lot.[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm]Speaking of, Asian I'm mad at you. y u focus me every fight? ;[ Dont act like you didnt![/quote]

[quote=tehAsian]You were the squishiest and closest :V[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]It's pretty strong, because he's a very strong 1v1 duelist and he pushes towers down pretty fast, too. Personally I normally go for [[Blade of the Ruined King]] + [[Spirit Visage]] + [[Randuin's Omen]] as "core" (obviously depending on whether I actually need the MR/Armor vs the enemy team), haven't tried [[Trinity Force]] on him but considering how strong the item currently is I am 100% sure that item is great on him too. I honestly should play him more often :|[/quote]

[quote=Pheyniex]I have a friend that says that if he has to top, he'll play [[trundle]]. he usually does rush [[blade of the ruined king]] into [[Spirit Visage]] or [[Phage]] but he actually doesn't play top that much. [[trundle]] has a truckload of sustain and some toplaners can't really deal with that.[/quote]
