Current ranking

This is an in-depth guide about Tryndamere. I hope people who never played Tryndamere can start right, and people who are Tryndamere's Veterans will learn something new.
Pros/Cons
|

Increase your movement speed.
Ghost just offers too much utility , u can use it both defensively and offensively. U dont need flash u have ur E.

Single target true damage DOT.
Ignite makes u have insane kill potential. Good against sustain champions like swain,aatrox ect. Cuz it reduces healing and regeneration by 50%..
Why shouldn't you take exhaust? | // Stop comparing competitive league with SoloQ league. Ignite gives u more kill potential, and u need kills to win solo q games. |
Why shouldn't you take other summoner spells? |
// Other summoner spells don't offer that much utility and kill potential. U should always take ![]() ![]() |
Why shouldn't you take ![]() ![]() |
// U can easily get kited without ![]() |

VS AP
Offensive
Defensive

]
Butcher - 4 bonus damage to minions and monsters, also if u take butcher u can put 1 more point in Fury +1%attack speed.
Havoc - Increase damage by 2.00%.
Both of these masteries are viable and it won't make a huge difference if you go either way. Butcher gives u more lane controll and 1 free point to put in fury. And havoc gives a little more damage. I don't find that damage high enough to put 3 points into havoc , i rather have more lane controll. The choise is up to you!
Sadly we don't have much innovation in masteries!

Tryndamere scales with attack speed more than he does with and. So there's no point of taking flat ad , just take attack speed. |
![]() |
U only take armor seals, even if ur against ap top. Since they usually are range or even melee ap , they do use autoattacks plus u wont build defensive items so it will help. |
So why attack speed over flat ad ? Simple flat ad just gives u more on attack damage , and crit damage. But attack speed gives u more chances to crit ,and tryndamere needs those crits.
Crit chance sucks. Don't take it , no point of relying on luck that much even if you play Tryn.
Crit damage rune sucks. Don't take them, ur early will be terrible and your opponent can just zone u out. U need to win ur lane if u want to succeed at soloQ.

START ITEM HELP:
VS 
Dorans gives 80 health 10 damage 5 lifesteal on hit.
Longsword 10 damage = 2 pots
1 pot restores 150 hp.
To restore 150 hp with dorans blade u would need to hit a target minion or champion 30 times. During that u would be harassed, So in theory its never forth starting dorans blade over longsword 2 pots. U have no room for bad trades, and if ur all in with dorans fails u get denied. Earlier vamp scep earlier cutlass = can't be kited that easily.
VS 
Long sword - 10AD ---> Fast vamp scep +2pots
Boots - 25mvSpeed --->Faster mvSpeed +4pots
Long sword will always be better due to ability to get a faster vamp scep. I doubt u will need 4 pots in early laning, if u use 4 pots u will waste more gold. Rather just buy Vamp scep and sustain threw lifesteal. Minimize the gold wasting.
CORE:
VS 
PD gives +50attack speed +30crit chance +5mvSPEED COSTS - 2800gold
Statikk shiv +40attack speed +20crit chance +6mvSPEED +damage from passive COSTS -2500gold
Statikk shiv pros :
PROS:
1.Cheaper when PD
2.More mvSPEED when PD
3.Amazing passive that CAN CRIT, also this passive is great if the enemy laner stacks armor cuz the items passive does magic damage.
Phantom dancers pros:
PROS:
1.Gives more Attack and Crit chance when Statikk shiv.
2.Ignores unit collision passive
WHAT TO BUY ? Buy statikk shiv, its cheaper and better on Tryndamere. The passive does alot of damage. The passive looks kewl.

Tips and Tricks
- Tryndamere can always use this ability if its on cooldown, it has no cast time and no form of CC can stop him from using it.
Why take E first ?
Well usually there is not a huge amount of time till u get lvl 2, and u don't need that much sustain lvl 1. So its better to take a gap closer utility move.
Why max Q first ?
Q is one of the reasons why Tryndamere is so strong , it gives u free AD and sustain. Other abilities just don't offer that much. So u max Q.
Why max E second ?
Since ur a melee champion u need to get to your target somehow. E is that somehow , its a low cooldown +damage gap closer. Leveling it gives u more damage and shorter cooldown. Thats why u max it second.
Why max w last?
Well u need to max something last. I agree its an amazing ability, but other abilities are more important to Tryndamere. U can max W second against opponents like zed to ruin his combo. But i suggest maxing it last.

Aatrox

Here are some tips:
If he uses it on a minion punish him. Try getting lvl 2 first, all in him. If u kill him snowball. If u don't kill him zone him. Diving Aatrox . E away after his passive is activated. When he revives AA - AA - E. Try dodging his knockup, with either your movement or E. Chances are he wont stack armor , easy damage. Don't forget to ignite at the right moment.. |
Akali
|
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Here are some tips:
Try carry a pink ward, the pink ward is great for minimizing the outplay potential of akali. Chances are she won't build alot of armor. So u should melt her easily. Remember that she doesn't get instant stacks of her ult after hitting lvl 6. So just after u hit 6, allining her would be a gud idea. Ignite at the right moment. If she builds alot of spellvamp. |

Here are some tips:
If she misses her cacoon thats the stage u want to fight. Be careful with ur ults, she can just rappel. Try farming , even if u lose early u can just farm up, splitpush and carry. Try dodging his knockup, with either your movement or E. Patch 3.10: The nerfs she got arent significant enough to make a big difference in this matchup , elise sill is a counter to try. To she can't catch u so easily , since she can no longer rapple onto targets that are out of range so u can E away easier. |
Ezreal

But increased the movement speed bonus of his ultimate ability. This will make this lane even more easy before 6, since every time he wants to harass, you can easily go up to him , or E to him and kick his butt. And this will affect his team fighting. Since he will need to get closer to his targets. |

Try roaming if you are against opponent like malphite. !Push ur lane before roaming!
Here are some tips if you are behind:
-
Know just how much damage you can do to your opponent laner and he can do to you. Try trading a bit, most likely you scale with items better.
-
Try focusing on farming, try different things like pushing and freezing. See what works in that situation.
-
Don't leave your lane to group, if he roams u will get his tower and creeps.
Late Game in top lane is considered to be from level 14 to level 18.
Hopefully u have atleast Infinity edge, Statikk shiv, Last whisper/Botrk, Berserker's Greaves.
If u have those items u should be able to 1v1 most of the enemy team. Thus giving u even more splitpushing power. ( Don't try fighting 1v1 champions like vayne late game)
Usually late game its better to reposition yourself to the bottom lane. This will make it easier for your team to control the baron area and pressure mid lane.
Here are some tips to close Long late games:

-
Buy wards/oracles. Vision is important in all stages of the game. But late game in soloq is just freewin if you have superior vision. 1 person gets caught u can get baron or other objectives.
-
Explain to your team, that your gonna split bot and they should pressure mid and control baron area. Communication is important.
Attack move - When you click the button A ur league of legends cursor changes into a target. By clicking the left mouse button after pressing A will make your character either attack the picked target or run to the targeted location and attack the first target that appears in your attack range during the movement. It automatically targets the closest enemy.
Pros of Attack move -
1.If your chasing the enemy into the brush by clicking A and left mouse button it will start attacking immediately when you see the target.
2.If ur using attack move u won't get in a bad position by missclicking on a minion while last hitting with your left mouse button , Cuz the target cursor will still attack the minion.
Cons -
1.None, use attack move.
Moving after each auto attack - It might be obvious for most players , but moving after each autoattack is a key to position urself correctly. After ur AA does the damage , u can move and that wont take back the damage u did but it will cancel the end of AA animation . This will give u time to position better or dodge skillshots. U can also cancel tryndameres AA animation with his E, This is handy to do while harassing under the tower.
How to look if you will crit on the next AA on the targeted target - if u played league of legends u might have noticed that champions use different AA animation if they crit. Knowing that it shouldn't be a surprise that Tryndamere does that too. tho crit animations change depending on the skin. When Tryndamere crits his AA animation starts by him swinging his sword in the air. If he doesn't crit he swings his sword from the ground. U can cancel that animation before it does damage by pressing S or quickly moving to the side. If u saw his crit animation that means his next AA on that target will critical hit 100%. Changing targets remove critical hit. This is handy while harassing or diving ur opponent ,cuz before getting the turret agro u can check if ur next AA will crit .
How to harass under the tower - Tryndamere is one of the greatest champion to harass the enemy under the tower. U simply auto attack once or twice and e away. Combine this with Critical hit testing to maximize damage. Combine this with auto attack cancellation with E that way u will minimize the time under opponents tower.

The key of split pushing is making logical decisions and having a good map awareness. If u don't see 5 people on the minimap don't be the hero that pushes even if your not over extended. By making logical decisions i ment watch the enemy teams levels, items, skill orders ect. If u see 2 people coming to kill u and ur 2 levels on them and some items on them. Don't be afraid to take them both on. remember after Static and Ie u can 3 shots squishies, so if they are dumb enough to defend the towers alone dive them.
Split pushing is good in both scenarios. A. If your behind B. If your ahead. Tho it needs to have a different style in different situations.
A.If your behind - Well we all have hard games, Even tryndamere sometimes has rough one. Getting back at the game is an art. if u can't lane against ur top opponent for some reason he is too far ahead. try asking ur bot lane to switch. When u do switch the lanes , the best thing that can happen is your top lane doesn't follow u. Even if u are behind u usually can kill their adc if left alone 1v1 easily. they dont build damage = easy damage for u. If the enemy top lane fallows, ur pretty ****ed but u still got some farm when changing lanes. Go farm jungle minions near turrets. Look for the enemy teams dumb mistakes.
B.If your ahead - First of all gud ur wining ur lane im proud tho im still better when u. If your ahead chances are u know what to do next. Keep split pushing , steal enemy jungle creeps buffs. Make people come stop u 1v2. Kill them both. 1v3 Kill all 3 ect. Even if u won't kill them all u did your job. Tell ur team to go for objectives. deeper into the game u can go split push bot , so ur team can get baron control.

The ideal situation for u is to never teamfight , but sometimes u have no choice but to do that. here's some team fighting with tryn tips.
Theres 2 ways to team fight with Tryndamere and most top laners.
1.Dive
2.Peel
Diving- Diving means that ur going to dive the enemy team and try to get to the carries.
Diving tips :
Before a teamfight try standing out of your opponents sight. After the enemy tanks and bruisers dive ghost and go for the ADC. If your lucky enough to get to the adc and 3 shot him, go to APC. After killing the carries destroy what's left.
Try using your W on as many opponents as possible.
Don't use ur E to get to the adc , he can just flash and that will be awkward just run to him cutlass/botrk him . If he flashes or uses a dash ect. use ur E.
Peeling - Trying to help ur adc to survive the teamfight and don't let the enemy team to zone him completely. Tho Tryndamere is awful at peeling. But sometimes u need to do dumb stuff so here are some tips.
Use ur W on the bruisers and tanks try to get the carries to if possible.
Kill the targets ur adc is focusing
Use Botrk on the enemy who is trying to get to your carry, ruin his movement speed.

I think i can give some solo q tips, Cuz i had and have multiple accounts in diamond.
These tips are mainly for tryndamere, but u can adapt them to every champion.
The biggest tip is to play selfish, I usually don't group with tryndamere, i usually take the kills even if i shouldn't Ks as people call them , i know i can carry the game if i get them .
A big tip too is , don't get into arguments in solo q, Just ignore people. I get firstbloodet in 70% of my games, and i get flamed lvl 1 because of that. But ur tryndamere. U can always come back. After all i have like 73% of tryn win ratio. so i must be doing something right. if people complain that u dont group , or u got killed just ignore them.
Another tip is . Always do play , always play aggressively . U wont win solo q by playing passively . Even if u die , u still get more knowledge from trying , then from being afk farming.
Never give up in solo q. People do so many dumb mistake , the moment u lose is when u think in your mind u cant win that game.
If u cant carry the game u usually deserve that elo, So just try looking at your mistakes not at other people.
Also just have fun , enjoy solo q. If u dont enjoy it , don't play just to gain elo. U wont win being stressed.
TIPS:
Always abuse your opponent laner cooldowns. After a while u will memorize the cooldowns of champions automatically.This will help u understand when to trade, and when to all in. So it will be easier to lane.
Know how much damage teh champion ur laning against can do. That will help u time your ult well.

Every person wants to improve, but most people don't understand how. Here are some tips on improving
1.Keep track of the enemy laner summoners, this will give u more oporunities to make a play.
2.Keep track of the enemy laner item builds, in league of legends and most competitive games u win by taking advantages of your opponent mistakes. So think about this situation, u are laning against an elise u both walk into the lane and she has a fairy charm pots and a ward, u have a longsword. That means u can win 1v1 since u have a fighting item, and she has a sustain mana item. If u see her going for a deep ward in river , just go kill her with some fury u can't lose. U need to take advantages like this this when u see them. Don't go full rambo on her without fury tho, u need the crit chance. And don't forget that minions hurt.
3.Don't be afraid of making a play. If u think that u can kill your opponent , but you are too afraid of dying GO FOR IT. Even if u will die , u will understand the situation better next time. After a while of fails u will gain the ability , of knowing when u can make a play.
4.Keep track of the enemy laner xp difference, If u know u will hit lvl 2 first. Go on him after hitting lvl 2. Remember that having a level on your opponent is a big advantage!
5.Keep track of the enemy jungler, his level , items. This will help u understand if u are able to take the jungler and the laner both at the same time. This will help u know whats better to run or to stay and fight.
