Tryndamere’s Current Kit

Battle Fury

Tryndamere generates 5 Fury on his basic attacks, and 10 Fury on critical strikes each time he kills an enemy. After 8 seconds without dealing or taking damage, Tryndamere loses 5 Fury per second.

Tryndamere gains 0% − 40% (based on Fury) critical strike chance.

Bloodlust

Cost: 100% Current Fury CD: 12 Cast: None                 

Passive: Tryndamere gains 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 bonus attack damage, plus 0.15 / 0.25 / 0.35 / 0.45 / 0.55 per 1% missing health amount based on his missing health.

Active: Tryndamere consumes all of his Fury to heal  30 / 40 / 50 / 60 / 70 (+ 30% AP) to himself, increasing for every point of Fury consumed.

Mocking Shout

CD: 14 Cast: 0.3 Radius: 850

Tryndamere reduces the attack damage 20 / 35 / 50 / 65 / 80 of nearby enemy champions for 4 seconds.

Targets facing in the opposite direction of Tryndamere are also slowed 30 / 37.5 / 45 / 52.5 / 60% for the duration.

A nearby enemy champion is required to cast this ability. The target does not have to be visible to be targeted by this ability.

Spinning Slash

CD: 12 / 11 / 10 / 9 / 8 Cast::None Range: 660 Radius: 225

Tryndamere dashes to the target location, dealing physical damage 80 / 110 / 140 / 170 / 200 (+ 130% bonus AD) (+ 80% AP) to enemies hit and generating  2 Fury per enemy hit, increased to 5 Fury against champions.

Critical strikes reduce Spinning Slash's current cooldown by 0.75 seconds, doubling to 1.5 seconds against champions. Bloodlust and Undying Rage can be cast during the dash. Spinning Slash will cast at max range if cast beyond that.

Undying Rage

CD: 120 / 100 / 80 Cast: none

Tryndamere becomes enraged, instantly gaining Fury 50 / 75 / 100 and a minimum health threshold 30 / 50 / 70 for 5 seconds.

Undying Rage can be used while affected by cast-inhibiting crowd control.

My Take on his rework

Design Flaws:

• It can be very frustrating to lane versus a Tryndamere

• Winning and losing lanes can be incredibly luck-based due to the crit chance from his passive granting him crit chance lvl 1
• He can crit multiple times winning the lane, or crit not at all leading to a lack of damage trending towards losing the lane

• Overly simplistic gameplan, he runs and hits you, and very little counterplay available to enemies or skill expressions for the player
• Ultimate often does not get used for what it was originally designed for, just being activated when he was about to die

• Also, it is weird being able to activate while CC, there are not very many champions who can do that

• His kit portrays his lore at a very baseline level, boiling down to he gets so angry he cannot die

Design Goals:

• Add more nuance to the kit, granting more areas of outplay while also adding dimension
• Incorporate his lore into his story better, being a mortal cursed by the Darkin Aatrox
• I think his role as a crit-based fighter is very interesting. I also want to open him up to be an ability-based fighter similar to champions like Riven or Pantheon

Design Considerations:

• Trynd is a very simple champion, and I would like to keep him that way

• He has very little in the form of utility, being in his conditional W slow and his self-heal

• Incorporate his current ultimate somehow, although it is quite an annoying ability to go against. It is the main thing he is known for
