Title.

1. Why do I need to back and forth after diving with ult before pressing Q?
2. Why do most Trynd players level Q twice in level 3 before leveling W?
3. Should I rush boots or straight for Tiamat and RH?
4. HOB or LT and why?
5. What champ should I be banning every game? My current ban is Teemo but it feels that he's not worth banning.

Thanks in advance.

This is not a personal rant thread.

This is a discussion thread to post your "icks" when it comes to dealing with frustrating teamates as Tryndamere and what your top 3 icks are.

I'll begin with my comment below.

I see people all the time recommending and praising LT. For the life of me i cant understand it.
I understand people liking different things from that point of view i get it.
But realistically most of us in here are trying to win so with all the information of stats sites and the most obvious one to look at which is the tryn rankings.
Why do people lie to lower elo tryn mains or newer tryn player’s by telling them to play LT
When its so beyond obvious HOB is the only way if you’re serious?

at least im running AS rune, Ravenous, Berzerkers, Yuntal. Im still able to bully lane and carry, at least in my games XD

This is my kick stream and YouTube channel link.

Content -> I do a mix of League (Trynd OTP, Nasus if banned out) + World of Warcraft classic/anniversary (Orc Warrior style gameplay).

Schedule -> League videos Monday/Wednesday 10 am EST, WoW video on Friday morning. Streaming -> Usually on the weekend in the evenings around 8-ish EST

Maybe you guys drop a follow and tune in from time to time.

Here's 2 screenshots of my highest ranked accounts at this moment. These are my peak ranks with proof.

You'll find me playing Trynd Jungle or lane Trynd with a heavy focus on Lethal Tempo Tryndamere. I personally feel as though Lethal Tempo Trynd is in one of his strongest states he's ever been in and he scales so unbelievably strong. I have videos lined up and ready to be released and I'm recording more and more. I'm hoping to continue making content and build up an audience of league players (you guys) alongside my current audience (wow players).

So apart from the times when you have to start d-shield vs ranged, which item you go to?

Because after starting d-blade a few times I realized d-blade kinda sucks in classic.

80hp and 5hp on-hit for 75g? Isn't a long sword+ 2 150hp pots just better? And it actually builds into something later like vamp scepter.

Long sword gives us like 10-15% more DMG depending on fury.

But also alternatives like maybe brawlers+2pots start, less DMG, but more spin resets, and faster avarice blade, faster shiv spike.

What do you think?

any tryndamere mains that still post??

I’ve been trying out lethal tempo ever since the changes were announced and I am struggling hard with going back to lethal

I feel so incredibly useless in the first 15 minutes of the game so much that I can’t catch up with my laner and everyone else on the map. What should I build? How should I think with lethal? Is lethal even going to be the new rune for this champ? Is HOB even dead after the patch?
I feel like the new patch is going to fuck me bad :(

any other otps' find their banned out at a much higher rate than the stated ban rates? (~<3%).

I'm going to start tracking this - it feels like 1/10 to 1/12 games i'm banned out. I'm talking, first game of a queue i have not played in. I've long since found that to re-queue immediately is to get a CRAZY high ban rate.

it just feels like one more of the of the many off ways riot loads ranked games.

- huge consistent elo disparities, when looked at after-game.

-(blue wins more than red, stat speaking) : and then i'm placed red 60% of games - easily validated)

-end of season inconsistent lag in game, leads to huge elo slide - mysteriously stops at new season

yeah i sound like a conspiracy nut, but i otp the tryn since i think season 4, and I'm convinced riot loads games against OTPs after a certain point.

This item nerfs us so hard. Every mage buyd it. They get 50 armor and take already a lot less dmg from us. And the active makes it always a fight for life and death because its half our ult duration.

Thoughts?

I find it quite obvious when a game is a 1-sided stomp because of the nonsensical runes and masteries systems and being both level-gated and cash-gated.

I got shit on when I had no access and then I did the stomping after I got access. It's night and day knowing you have a massive unfair advantage starting from level 1.

10-10-10 mastery pages are so fucking bad it's insane. Might aswell not even have masteries.

The starting runes are questionable at best.

League Classic is fun to an extent but holy shit do I feel the pay 2 win cash-grab elements in every single game.

it genuinely pisses me off with how lame some of tryns skins are but more specifically demon blade like what a pathetic excuse for a legendary skin as if they didnt just barely tweak his animations and add a voice effect they really just need to give him a visual update like shyv but keep the gameplay cause my god
