As we all know, Riot has announced 5 champions on the list of remake votes including Nocturne, Shyvana, Tryndamere, Kog’Maw and Skarner. Basically, according to Riot Games and the whole League of Legends community, these are generals whose skill sets and gameplay are outdated, not suitable for the game at the moment. So the best way to deal with these characters is to completely redo the skill.
Tryndamere is among Riot’s reworked champions
Although being beaten is such an anachronism, in fact, Tryndamere proved to be extremely powerful after 3 days of competition in the Spring 2022 LCK. Specifically, this general has had 5 selections with 4 victories. , 2 games are banned with 50% spawn rate. Even when compared to other top laners, Tryndamere’s stats are far more impressive. So why is a character considered old-fashioned to be able to thrive in a tactically-heavy tournament like the LCK? Let’s find out together.
Tryndamere currently has up to 80% win rate in the LCK tournament with extremely high KDA
The first element that we need to mention is the change in Teleport when it can no longer be used on minions, wards… before 14 minutes. This causes this summoner to usually used to go to the lane faster to control the minion position in the early game. As a result, champions with strong laning abilities will become extremely popular in the current meta instead of characters that can intervene early on other lanes.
And Tryndamere is a champion who benefits a lot from this change when this is a character with extremely strong laning and damage exchange abilities. Moreover, Tryndamere’s damage exchange is also extremely “toxic” as he often accumulates a large amount of fury, attacks the opponent and creates a mutation with a critical hit. If he feels threatened, Tryndamere will use E to escape combat and activate Q to heal.

Not stopping there, Tryndamere’s hegemony in laning also increases when this character uses the Deadly Speed gem. With high attack speed combined with critical rate, Tryndamere’s early fighting ability in the Rift Herald area becomes even stronger. Even when facing a difficult match, Graves, Tryndamere still owns 3 victories in the LCK Spring 2022.

In addition, another factor we need to mention is that many teams in the LCK region have chosen to play around the ADC in this 2022 season. The fact that the ADC position does not have to face much pressure of Teleport, having more time to farm has made this style of play much more popular. That’s why Tryndamere appeared as a way to counter the ADCs when he just had great damage, good tracking ability and the effect of reducing opponent’s damage with his W move.

In short, with the support of the laning meta and the appearance of the Deadly Temperament gem, Tryndamere has become an extremely powerful Top laner in the LCK tournament. If the meta remains the same, it wouldn’t be too surprising that Tryndamere will continue to dominate until the end of the Spring Split.
