Finally. FINALLY I CAN PLAY TRUNDLE AGAIN WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I wonder what their idea of a 'gameplay update' is though, because Trundle certainly needs a LOT of help right now and has for ages. 'Similar in scope to Taric changes' doesn't make me feel good.

So Trundle is getting remade. And like with Karma you get a free skin if you own him before the remake with his old look.
EDIT: I guess not remade completely except his visual and lore.

I bet it's more in line with Udyr's changes on the PBE. Keeping the same feel, but making up for some of the mobility creep and what not.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Why from a plague troll to an ice troll? The most likely we can infer about his "lore update" doesn't bode well to me.
T_T

Looking at it more the Traditional skin looks really WoWish.

T_T They said there was a disconnect in the lore, where the Trolls were just kind of there and weren't connected to anything in the LoL-verse. I guess this makes them a decent antagonist for Ashe and them, but I agree the charm of "plague troll" was something special.

Really? I think it's the correct kind of change to Trundle. The Taric changes kinda altered how his abilities scale and work, without changing what they do. (well, other than the passive, but Taric's old passive just plain sucked.) I think that Trundle could be pretty darn good with a change like this because his core function (poke-assist, peel/zone control, antibruiser) is actually pretty good at what it does, but it kinda falls apart in certain places.

Yeah, this connects them with the rest of the LoL-verse and gives them a place that interacts with other parts of the lore. (also opens up the possibility of another Troll champion)
I do miss the 'i bear the weight of this curse for my whole race' that Trundle used to have, but honestly, it was so... seperate... from everything else that it was basically Trundle being in his own universe. Even champions like Nasus who ARE from their own universe have become more connected into the rest of LoL's lore than that.

Did they even fix that bug he had on his Q or something?

Yeah well we go from a dude with his own character, and a particular archetype (I mean, visually I really like Trundle, yeah he's ugly and stuff, but he feels original, and a different take on an usually stereotypical character) to what seems like, well... more stereotypical dude. And only dude, not dud, I hope. I read the first post and so... "troll king"? Then the remake, big buff mean troll, that's different from the others in that he's the king? And probably into the league to represent his tribe?
:/ If you told me "our next champion is the troll king, leading his tribe to the league with his icy club!" I wouldn't be interested at all, while Trundle as he is now is, I feel, compelling, and his kit goes well with his lore. How will they tie Pillar of Filth, Contaminate or Agony to his new theme? Hell, even Rabid Bite and Decompose are tied to his plagued theme.

Somone on Reddit posted that they did though I've never even played Trundle yet so I don't know.

Pretty cool website. Looks like it automatically posts the builds from games that known pros are playing in. Seems like it takes from soloq and I assume ranked 5s as well. Must use elophant.

That trundle gif is so scary.
I kind of liked him being disconnected from the lore. Not everyone has to be someone else's brother/sister/lover/etc. It makes the world feel smaller that way. Plus Trundle always has been an outsider, so it fit him.

Traditional doesn't look bad. The skin (now standard?) in the gif is meh.

Hell, even Rabid Bite and Decompose are tied to his plagued theme. Probably will just change to Pillar of Ice, Rime, Frozen Armor, etc... I'm sure they have an idea. Or they'll just make it so the Trolls have some sort of Plague attached to them or something. There's a dozen ways they can go about it.
Personally, I'll be glad if it's the former. I think "elemental" characters get shoved to casters too often, I like element-themed melee characters, so an Ice Bruiser would be right up my alley. There's not really that many in LoL outside of skins, really just a handful.

All these reworks, and relaunches, all while heimerdinger just sitting untouched in the corner.
