Hey there. I've been trying to make Tryndamere my main champion, but I don't have the same runes as most Trynd's do. I've noticed I bully alot better with a high amount of AD in my rune page (i.e quints and marks). Would the attack speed and lifesteal be that gamebreaking in lane to replace 15 AD right out of the gates? It just seems to me that the harder you hit, the scarier you are. I'd like to know how your runes would effect the game as opposed to mine.

What do you think after the LS quint nerf?

+1 from me, I started playing Trynd in ranked after reading this guide and it's going really well so far. I use to main Rengar but after his horrid rework I switched to Trynd. Gj on the guide.

69th comment! Anyways, GJ on the guide.

With the recent rune changes coming to the rift, what do you think about HP seals or AS Quints? They have both gotten a buff while Armor and Lifesteal took nerfs - or is Lifesteal a must-have for quints (Talking about toplane, not jungle)?

Also what do you think about Teleport. Seen top a lot recently and quite helpful for splitpushing.

Nice guide, +1 from me.

Don't get Tiamat - it's bad because the splash damage doesn't scale with crit, so it doesn't deal that much AoE, and the active isn't very helpful as it does less damage than an autoattack. Even Bloodthirster is better because a fully stacked BT gives more AD and lifesteal on a single target.

You can delay Infinity Edge as long as you want. Hell, leave it as your sixth item if Blade of the Ruined King/ Last Whisper/ Guardian Angel is what you really need beforehand. Look at my third build, which I've been using as my new standard. You buy it because it's a huge boost to DPS when you already hit fast thanks to AS from BotRK and Statikk Shiv. Not getting it at all is a rare situation, seeing as there aren't many better damage items you can get.

Nice guide. You made quick points to take note of. The section on gameplay and the detailed matchup sections are quite useful. Till now my ranked is only gold janna. But I myself enjoy playing trynda a lot. I want to master him before I play him in ranked.
I have some questions in split pushing. In the build section, if u know u r split pushing, I feel why not include a tiamat? If u have a good enough gold initially I personally make a tiamat + static. The push is ridiculously fast. U also can save ur spin for a gank. Secondly is IE really necessary if u gonna split push? Many times I got better results with amrpen/as initially.

Funnily enough, I haven't actually seen BT rush in play even though I do know about it. I've played it a couple times myself, but didn't really get a good enough feel for it. Keep in mind the below is just speculation.

I'd assume you rush Bloodthirster if you're going to focus almost entirely on split pushing. It gives only slightly weaker waveclear than Ravenous Hydra but a stronger 1v1, and helps pushing more than Blade of the Ruined King does. BoRK has more kill potential because of its active, but BT is almost as good if not better for small trades. I would never buy it a first item, but after Statikk Shiv is a good time. Basically you just split push 24/7 and force the enemy team to 4v4 or even 3v4 against your team while being hard to kill. It's entirely viable, but I don't see it a lot.

If I were to use that build I'd build Youmuu's Ghostblade as my next item then either Last Whisper or Infinity Edge depending on who they send to counter my push and how fed I am.

What do you think about pros getting Bloodthirster after they have Boots and a possible Statikk Shiv?

Very good guide

Hi Hi~! I'm here for the second review you ordered. So here are the things mentioned in my first review that I think could make the guide better. We'll go over them and check if you've added them.

"Tune down the text a little bit. Not everyone will read it even if it has a lot of useful information." - For the most part this one is fixed. There's definitely less text than there was before.

"Add Guide Graphics." - I'm gonna have to say this one is not fixed. The line dividers aren't exactly guide graphics. Lots of guides have them anyways.

"Re-do the Cheat Sheet." - Fixed. No complaints.

"Maybe move the "Season 4 Updates" Chapter somewhere else. This one isn't a big deal though so it's totally your call." - Well you did remove this chapter but you added 2 new ones and placed them above the Introduction chapter. It's always best if you start off your guide with the Introduction chapter so I would suggest moving it at the top.

Also, there's quite a lot of colorful words or line dividers. Might wanna tune down on those.

Overall, the changes you made were alright however I'm still gonna keep the grade to an 8. I think you should order guide graphics from an Art Shop and tune down the line dividers/colorful text. If you manage to do that ask for a third review and I'll change the grade to a 9 :P

Yeah you should order some from an Art Shop. Most of the Art Shops are owned by nice people so it won't be that difficult to get some graphics made for you. You might have to wait a little bit if the owner of the shop is busy but it'll be worth the wait.

Noted and mostly (though not entirely) done as suggested. I wouldn't mind having some guide graphics in, but I have no resources myself and am not great at producing them. I may get professional help on that but I'm more concerned with overhauling the content as my first priority.

I think I'll look back at runes/masteries/spells/items sections and see if I can't cut bits out. I'm a firm believer that it's better to have too much than too little, but I'll see if it can be done. Maybe changing to concise bulletpoint info will be easier on the eyes.

The jungling section is gonna go. I'll write a completely new, more concise one with better information but it's quite a bit of work. Everything else has been taken into consideration and changed as needed. Thanks for both the input and the upvote.
