[Champion] Trundle - Page 13

V3.8

Changes to Slow Zones
All slow zones now update on a quarter-second interval, meaning when you move out of a slow field, the slow will wear off almost immediately unless you're hit by an ability that applies an individual slow (like Kog'Maw's Void Ooze). What this means: your champion's movement speed will be restored more quickly when leaving a slow field, but the slow within the fields have not been changed.
The following abilities have had their slow refresh rate reduced to 0.25 seconds:
Trundle's Pillar of Ice

Agony
Renamed Subjugate
Initial damage and drain over time changed to 10 / 11 / 12 (+1 per 100 AP)% max health damage from 100 / 175 / 250 (+60% AP).
Initial armor and magic resist steal and drain over time adjusted to 20% from 15 / 20 / 25%.

King’s Tribute: Innate- (range 1000) Whenever an enemy unit near Trundle dies, he absorbs its life force and heals for 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6% of its maximum health (increases by 1% at level 5, 9, 12, 15).

Notes: In my opinion, this ability is what makes Trundle a troll. It makes him extremely difficult to push out of lane, because even if you can’t last hit, you can usually regain health from dying creeps. It also serves as good sustain in the jungle. Synergizes with Frozen Domain and Subjugate quite well. Other things to keep in mind: if dragon, baron, or a champion dies, you regain health from that too. This can create situations where you get obscene amounts of health back, especially if you have a spirit visage. Beware of ignite though.


Chomp: Active- Trundle bites his target with this next basic attack, dealing physical damage equal to a base amount plus a percentage of his attack damage and slowing his target by 75% for 0.1 seconds.
This attack increases Trundle's attack damage for 8 seconds, with his opponent losing half of this amount for the same duration.

Physical Damage: 20 / 40 / 60 / 80 / 100 (+ 100 / 105 / 110 / 115 / 120% AD)
Attack Damage Bonus: 20 / 25 / 30 / 35 / 40

Cooldown: 4 seconds
Cost: 30 mana

Notes: Trundle’s main damage ability. It can be used as an auto attack reset. One of the nicer things about the Trundle rework is that the bite speed now scales with attack speed. Your damage also gets buffed quite a bit while debuffing your opponent half that amount. This makes very strong in dueling situations against AD champions. Additionally, it gained an extremely strong (but short) slow with the rework. This makes securing kills a bit easier.


Frozen Domain: Active- Trundle coats a target 1000-radius area with ice for 8 seconds, gaining increased movement speed, attack speed, and healing and regeneration from all sources while he is on it.

Movement Speed: 20 / 25 / 30 / 35 / 40%
Attack Speed: 20 / 35 / 50 / 65 / 80%
Healing and Regeneration Increase: 8 / 11 / 14 / 17 / 20%

Cooldown: 15 seconds
Cost: 60 mana
Range: 900

Notes: This ability got changed a lot with the rework. The movement speed increase is identical. The attack speed bonus was increased by 20% at level 5 (5% per level), and the crowd control reduction was removed in favor of increased healing. The crowd control reduction loss hurts to a degree, but the extra attack speed and healing help a lot too. Use this whenever you expect to brawl with someone for a prolong period of time, or you want to catch someone. If you’re low on health in lane, one trick is to use your health pots and frozen domain, while killing as many creeps as possible. If you’re low on health in the jungle, try to make sure this up when you kill the big creep at the camp (most important on the first clear) and you’re chugging a potion.


Pillar of Ice: Active- Trundle summons an impassable pillar of ice at a target location for 6 seconds. Enemies caught in the center of the eruption are briefly knocked back. The pillar blocks movement within 62.5 range, slows enemies within 187.5 range, and provides vision within 600 range.

Range: 1000
Pillar Slow: 25/30/35/40/45%

Cooldown: 23/20/17/14/11
Cost: 60 mana

Notes: You trap enemies with this and slow them a great deal, then whack them over the head with your club repeatedly. This ability makes it extremely difficult to get away from Trundle (especially a Trundle with cooldown reduction). The most powerful part of his kit by far. It also is one of the better disengages in the game (only Janna’s comes to mind as being better). If the enemy doesn’t have a blink, a flash, or some way to cc you, they’re probably not getting away unless their team bails them out. Also they made one massive change to this ability: it interrupts channeling. What this means on a practical level: Katarina ulting? Pillar directly on her, her ult is over. Enemy recalling? Cast pillar directly on them, they’re no longer recalling. You know an enemy Fiddlesticks is channeling his ult and you’re nearby? Time to interrupt that too (pillar’s range is longer by 200)! Note: you actually have to cast it directly on an enemy so they’re physically displaced, so if you’re guessing where they are, this can be somewhat dicey.


Subjugate: Active:- Trundle drains the life force out of an enemy champion, dealing magic damage equal to a percentage of their maximum health and healing himself for the same amount, as well as stealing 40% of their armor and magic resist. Half of the health, armor, and magic resist is drained immediately and the other half over the next 4 seconds.

Intial % Health Stolen: 10/12/14% (+0.01% per AP)
Total Magic Damage: 20/24/28% (+0.02% per AP)

Cooldown: 80/70/60 seconds
Cost: 75 mana
Range: 700

Notes: Steals a % of their health, armor, and magic resist. You gain the armor and magic resist stolen. The cooldown on this is pretty low, so if you’re low in lane, feel free to use it even if there isn’t any kill potential and you just need some extra sustain (but be careful to avoid subsequent all ins)- at least early on. This ability crushes tanky initiators if used properly. Some tanky initiator runs in? Use your ult, then pillar of ice so he either can’t get out or his team can’t get in (or both!), and now you have a 5v4 and you’re super tanky for 8 seconds. With 40% CDR, this comes back in 36 seconds. It’s kind of ridiculous.
