So. I'm trying to pick up trynda top atm.

Any thoughts/tips ?

Take a look at what monte posted about Trynd in the TROLLS thread - I think he has some neat ideas about Tryndamere over there. (Gist of it: start with some AP to use only as a sustain+trading tool, build AD.)

Yeah I saw that and it works pretty well, but I'm facing a few problems :
How to trade as Trynda ?
How to teamfight as Trynda ?
When do you stop farming as Trynda ?


Trading: When against other melee champions, you just walk up to them and start the beatings. When W fades or their cooldowns are close to coming back up you E away. Because of W, your innately high auto-damage, the damage from E, and your healing from Q you should have won the trade. Keep spamming Q to heal up as you last-hit, and repeat the trade until you beat your opponent.

When against ranged champions you have to be a little more clever. You either have to run straight at them with W ready to slow them if they start trying to kite, or E to close the gap. Both options are substantially better if you can use the bushes as either an attack or escape vector.

With the setup I documented in T.R.O.L.L.S. I ran a Cloth Armor + 5 Pot Darius out of potions without much issue. (SEE: http://www.twitch.tv/montegomerylol/b/362115117 @2:10:00)

Teamfighting: You're not really a bruiser or tank, so leave the tanking to the professionals whenever possible. You're just as happy beating on whoever is chasing your ranged AD as you are going after theirs, so who you target is going to depend on who you can reach safely. You may have a get out of death free ticket in the form of your ultimate, but those 5 seconds can pass in a hurry.

A lot of your teamfighting depends on game circumstances. If you team is really behind, as mine was, you can't really play as boldly as I tried to.

Farming: This is similar to most top lanes. If you have a big advantage over your opponent and a key item which makes you a lethal threat to others, start shoving waves and roaming/stealing jungle. If you've taken top turret, shove waves and roam. Just don't miss creep build-ups.


I'm not really an expert on this yet as top is my worst lane, but that's how I've made it work so far.

Pretty neat article on ESPN about league [particularly about the LCS]
http://espn.go.com/blog/playbook/tech/post/_/id/3979/league-of-legends-mimics-regular-sports

It doesn't have a whole lot of content - mostly just some quotes from an interview with Dustin Beck (Riot's VP of e-sports), but it's overall a very positive and revealing article about esports, something that doesn't happen every day.

Opening with Sorc shoes and Guise means that building MR isnt going to work against her.
Q spells makes building HP not work
And sustain? She can do 8% of your hp every 6 seconds. Thats some godly level of sustain you need to achieve.

No. Elise Opening Sorc Shoes and Guise mean that MR is MANDATORY against her. Flat MPen is less of an increase in damage on a high MR target compared to on a low MR target. She will WRECK you if you only have your innate + runes/masteries MR. Redo your math, realize MR is the correct option, then buy null mantle/Negatron (whichever you can work into a useful item on your character)

yeah i don't see why people think MR is ineffective against MPen. it makes MPen less useful.

is it time for math?


here is level 6 shen with mercs and nega vs elise with guise + sorcs. the 1st number is mercs and nega, the 2nd number is without. assume flat MR on shen + 5 MR mastery, and elise with MPen quints/marks and MPen 8% mastery.

shen max HP = current = 938

Im not saying you shouldnt be building MR. i was responding to the argument that bying a Negatron would counter Elise in lane. and since she builds a lot of mpen its not going to counter it. Ofc you need to buy it to not get destroyed but simply buying it wont stop her from having excellent harass.

This makes too much sense, hue.
Too bad Neurotoxin's projectile isn't too apparent but yes, in an offline situation, this is the appropriate play obviously.

its pretty obvious if you've been ass raped by elise for 10 minutes straight numerous times with other champs
i mentioned it because I was wondering why nobody abused shens 250 shield on a 5 second cooldown and it worked like a charm

still cant beat elise straight up because fuck that hero it's like playing 1v2 in engages

she can try to juke with auto hits but the animation is slightly different iirc

he's more like banned a lot of the time but not always especially if people want to ban specific things kind of champ

you see him semi regularly in both solo q and competitive, as in, more than most champions, but less than the really popular but never banned champs (like taric or something)

At ~1400 Shen's pretty much always banned along with Amumu, Malphite. Common bans include Kha/Elise/Blitz.

I don't understand why people ban Malph. It isn't that hard to not get hit by his ult :/

I stopped banning Malph a while ago. That means I get to choose another ban if the enemy team doesn't ban him. I still ban Shen because... I dunno. I don't ban out summoner teleport or Karthus who overlap with his ult's utility. Nor do I ban Olaf's raidboss potential. But Shen feels more "threatening" in the "can't really trust the pick-up who'll play top with that" kind of way.
Also Elise.

I don't ban Eve because when I pick mid it's usually Viktor or Swain (or Ryze in ranked) so I'm confident I can if not crush her, at least outfarm/control her.

By the way, who is :


One story Riot will be pushing includes the founder of a team whose parents stopped talking to him when he decided to pursue “League of Legends” as a profession. His franchise is now worth more than a million dollars, according to Riot.


I though HSGG's parents were managers and Regi is obviously not the answer (unless they also disowned Dan).
