Who beats Tryndamere in League of Legends: Classic, who Tryndamere beats, and the Season 3 items, runes and masteries to run top. Patch 26.17.
Polymorph during the spin window removes his entire threat for its duration.
Armor plus Ground Slam blanks your crit and halves your attack speed.
Wither is the hardest counter to a spin-and-crit champion in the game.
Thornmail plus Defensive Ball Curl means you kill yourself attacking him.
Wall stops the engage and your egg outlives his spin window.
Feast is true damage that ignores his spin, and Rupture interrupts the engage.
Counter Strike blocks his crit window and stuns him out of the spin.
Suppression locks him down and Malefic Visions clears before he reaches you.
Fling plus Rylai's means he never sticks to you through the spin.
Blind neuters his crit spin. Shrooms punish him for committing to a dive.
Cleaver slow means he never sticks to you, and your ult out-heals his crit window.
You spin onto her and outpace the heal. She has no way to survive the crit window.
Spin closes onto an immobile ADC and Undying Rage survives her whole kite attempt.
You gap close through the wall and burst him down before Requiem is worth casting.
You kill him repeatedly in the pre-6 window where he is helpless.
Start:
Core:
Crit is your whole kit. IE into PD is the fastest damage curve.
AP Tryndamere: Lich Bane → Nashor's Tooth → Rabadon's Deathcap → Zhonya's Hourglass → Void Staff
Spinning Slash carries an AP ratio and Undying Rage means you can dive with a mage's item slots and survive it.
Armor penetration outperforms flat AD once the enemy top buys Cloth Armor, which is nearly always. Armor seals win the melee lane trade.
21/9/0 Offense. Sunder plus armor penetration marks is what lets a bruiser hurt a tank before Last Whisper.
