Citric says “Trundle is bad at doing krugs and raptors so usually he will leave these up. He is a buff to buff jungler so he might try to steal one of your buffs. Try to get healing reduction against him because he will be healing a lot.”
lightrocket2 says “note he steals resists and does max health damage, try to build shielding/healing/death's dance or active items against him, pillar also OP”
Sammystinky says “He can steal your stats which isn't great, surprisingly hard to pick. You kind of have to deal with him to stop him from hurting your team so just zone and fall back, keeping him stuck just out of auto range (this takes coordination and teamwork)”
FREAKSTAR says “This champion is pretty overtuned right now, he ge gets in melee range you are going to lose.
Run away and live to fight another day. You will carry if he doesn't destroy the early game.”
Karasmai says “Everything i said about Olaf can be said for Trundle so just look at that for reference it is the same exact champion, same exact counter except this one is weaker and you can E thru his pillar for easy heals XD! ”
Whynotbefriends says “If you're a competent Nidalee player this matchup is no threat. You outpace him in clear, have invade options with strong laners and generally don't struggle against him.”
Arfreezy says “Take phase rush in this matchup to deny his slow from Pillar. It is very important to save your E until he pillars so you arent stuck on the wrong side of it. Since you can dash through it and he has to run around, he actually has no kill pressure on you especially with phase rush. You can take ignite to bully him early and win pretty convincingly.”
Doubtfull says “Trundle can cancel your tunnels with his pillar and barring him falling really far behind, he will win 1v1's as well. Try to avoid him at all costs and get your lanes ahead.”
SnowballBarrage says “Trundle is THE champion to counter all tanks. So naturally he counters Nunu in a sense. His E can cancel Nunu R aswell. Wait out his E to use your R. ”
ak521 says “Easily makes your super-good tank build trash. Wow. Good ganking and one hard champion to outplay. I wouldn't even focus him because he is too tanky.”
Scooltefan says “If you're ahead - kill, if you're behind - don't get trolled. Utilize Meditate-reset (watch Cowsep's videos on that) to gain an Attack speed advantage.”
Kayn Mains says “If Trundle has Press the Attack as his keystone you stand no chance against him early on. His Pillar (E) can interrupt both your Reaping Slash (Q) and Shadow Step (E) so don't even try to contest him for anything, especially once he hits level 6.
Trundle builds incredibly tanky so you can’t really kill him even as Rhaast. Pick up an early Executioner's Calling to help out your team.”
Rhoku says “Trundle can be a nightmare to deal with in the jungle without Ghost. You can't really kite him out properly. He has a TON of dps in melee range and he can actually beat your post 6 if you don't kite him. Be careful in fights against him. Try to avoid him earlier on but take fights after you get your first item as you can probably kill him with proper positioning/kiting unless he got super ahead. I've mentioned it 50 times already but its because its important. If you don't kite, you die.”
RichMrFork says “Divine Sunderer is extremely strong on this champion right now and he's impossible to 1v1. Trundle is difficult to beat in skirmishes so look to avoid them. He can solo dragons early so keep it warded consistently. ”
RedNBlue says “You should pretty much always win vs a Trundle early game, you have a better dueling kit than him and you can make him pretty much useless duel wise unless if he can ultimate on a tank. Or you during your ultimate.”
LukaBre123 says “If you see Trundle picked in the enemy team don't pick Sejujani. He well be weak early but become stronger after he gets level 6. The more tankier you are, the stronger he becomes.”
Strike1 says “I have barely played this matchup since this champ never gets played. The few times I did..trundle legit just never gets close to you LOL.
Unless the 1v1 starts pointblank (you facecheck a bush hes in) the guy cannot stick onto you. You E to slow and dance with your Q W. You melt him, and his ult doesn't make him tanky vs you since you don't have much armour to steal
Free scale+easy 1v1.”
metalhydra273 says “Trundle is much like Olaf in all ways other than the fact that you can cc him. Try not to face him alone and plan an escape route if you attempt to fight him, as you can get away if you can get around his pillar. In fights, it could be best to get rid of him as he can be an annoying front liner, but is very vulnerable to your cc.”
SoSheolH says “Strong counterpick for most tanks due to his ult and can outdamage and outsustain you in fights due to lifesteal since he can use Sunderer effectively, but not really played much. His early ganks also aren't that great compared to yours due to his lacking CC, so you can get ahead. You can just CC him, but don't 1v1 him no matter what, especially not after 6.”
LilPaniniUwU says “If Trundle has Press the Attack as his keystone you stand no chance against him early on. His Pillar (E) can interrupt both your Reaping Slash (Q) and Shadow Step (E) so don't even try to contest him for anything, especially once he hits level 6. Trundle builds incredibly tanky so you can’t really kill him even as Rhaast. Pick up an early Executioner's Calling to help out your team.
”
FrostForest says “He can never reach you but he can stop your E-Q combo with pillar if he's fast enough
He can out damage you solo and shred you if you go tank
Has no dashes so you can ulti him later and force his flash”
Caled says “Poor man’s Olaf. Respect him early game and steer clear of him early game. If you are going Rhaast, you will be able to fight him with a lead mid game as long as you have black cleaver or if he is just completely OUT of the game. Going Shadow Assassin will be much more difficult to duel so play just to pick off backline and ignore him in team fights. Fun fact for the matchup, use your E into his pillars as they will heal you in teamfights.”
Loul_60 says “Trundle is basically a really op underrated sleeper champ. Early game you can't fight him, if you go Blue form it is suicide. If you go Rhaast though, you can probably outheal him in a 1v1 situation, and can fight him easier once you get Black Cleaver.”
litecrunch says “He isn't really difficult. He can beat you early, but the goal isn't really to kill him, just outscale him. He can't catch you either because of your w movement speed. As long as you farm more then him and don't duel him early, you already win as soon as you get to the mid game.”
liserith says “He's a bit of a pain in the ass to kite, thanks to his slows, but if you take Legend: Tenacity or Mercury's Treads, you shouldn't be affected to much. Plus, you can vault over his spike with your Q, making you go even further. ”
Veralion says “Do not engage. Very few champions are as good at whacking a singular target as Trundle. If your team can't collapse, just let him take what he wants for pretty much the entire game. Don't get within Pillar range and respect his W, he can move pretty quickly and chase you down if your W isn't available. Take ignite and look to build a lead before fighting him. ”
TheInkKingLoL says “Difficult to 1v1 after level 6. If he engages on you you probably won't get away without going over a wall. Watch for invades. Leaving early objectives is fine.”
Gumipapucs says “It's hard to kite him as he can slow / block you with pillar and he has that extra movementspeed zone. He can also outheal your damage and steal your armor so you are even more squishy. You can steal some camps but you want to run away asap if he spots you. If a teammate helps you to engage on him then he's somewhat easy to kill. Luckily he is very rarely played in the jungle”
Tinjus says “A bit difficult to fight in the early game. Try and play the farming game and wait until you have warrior / duskblade before you fight him, as he is quite oppressive for Kha'Zix early on, but falls off later.”
Udyr uber says “Meio irritante de enfrentar, mas dá para ganhar a troca antes do 6.
Tente matar ele durante o level 3-4 se ver que ele já gastou seu Q ou W
Tabi+Guerreiro+Espinhos”
ChaseMorePlz says “Move out of his frozen ground when he tries to fight you, he gets massive attackspeed, movespeed and healing buffs from it. He is hard to get away from, however do your best to get away from his pillar since it slows you over time. Bait out his Ultimate, the ability where he drains you since it amplifies his kit. ”
Get Ricked says “Trundle is made as a tank counter. Luckily you aren't a tank. Bad news is he still beats you in a 1v1 throughout most of the game. His Q also makes you lose ad. You do outscale him but it will take a while for you to get there. When he wants to fight you just jump or run away. ”
KajiKumihoAkukei says “Trundle is a very strong early game jungler. Make sure to avoid fighting him early on and try to reach level 6 as quickly as possible.”
suprfxivsilkshot says “Like Anivia, Trundle can block your ult with his pillar. Also, if he knows how to kite or even just move around you, Trundle wins the 1v1 easily.”
MetaSolaray says “Trundle counters most of your best builds, Medyr, standard Warrior, and especially Aftershock runes. Go on-hit to try to beat him as this stat he cannot take from you in a 1v1. Avoid teamfighting as he will ult you and nullify your raw stats.”
DarkAuraLOL says “you outclear him, he can't catch you through walls, just avoid 1v1's try to couner gank him or just fight him on low health, go for clearing and you'll outscale him, try to get early form and heal reduction and you'll be fine .”
RedNBlue says “Easy kite for you later in the game, just watch out for his level 3 and his pillar as he will probably most definitely invade you as you are just asking for it. CHOMP!”
KaynPlayer814 says “Trundle is really strong in the early game, you want to avoid him in the early game. You outscale him really hard if you go RedKayn. Your goal is to get RedKayn as possible to match him and outscale him. If you go Blue Kayn you need to hope to get ahead because he can stack a lot of Armor. ”
RedNBlue says “Trundle can do some damage early on until you get your tankiness. Unless you get someone to help you in your fight with trundle you will probably die.”
RedNBlue says “You can kite him easily but he can tank your damage a decent amount but the real problem comes. when he ice pillars you and sandwiches you, then your toast at least if your not tanky enough.”
Hidon1 says “Trundle generally has weak/slow ganking ability in early game. You will be able to counter gank most of the time or snowball the map before he is able to impact the map. In this match up you HAVE to take Phase Rush. If you have Phase Rush he is unable to kill you 1v1, because you have the ability to kite away from him. The one counter trundle has to Nunu is that he can pillar your snowball, so watch out for that since it can be used to stop your ganks on lanes. He can also use it to stop your engage in fights.”
styllEE says “Trundle is a perfect example for a medium tough matchup. Early on you dont really wanna fight him 1v1, you should try avoiding going for all ins, small skirmishes is fine, but you wont win 1v1 before you get your Darkin form, you can possible with with your lvl 6 spike if he is still lvl 5 or less”
RandomGuy2612 says “Will also invade you, steal your armor (if you're using the AD build) And murder you in your Sleep. Like Olaf, my only advice for you is to ask your teammates for help or ban him. Although him getting fed impacts the game just a bit less.”
Happty says “I'd suggest avoiding dueling with this guy early on, make sure he doesn't get fed as he has a bit of CC while having the tankiness of volibear and Dr. Mundo.”
SketchtheHunter says “A stat stealer vs. a stat stealer, eh? Not particularly favorable. Thankfully he isn't picked very much, but if you find yourself fighting him, just try to avoid the early fights. ”
mrpickleshirt says “Tahms weak early clear, and lack of a super strong early game allow him to be easily invaded, watch the minimap and have your laners ward your jungle.”
Minase says “Insanely easy matchup that you win after level 3. You outfarm him, outdamage him, outpace him and you are just better. Only way he can win is thru lane kingdom or if you disconnect.”
DanteS22 says “Actually no one playing this troll, but sometimes you can see him in games. Like olaf he is very dangerous for warwick, try to avoid 1v1 early game.”
metalhydra273 says “Pretty much same deal as Olaf without the ult. His pillars and ult are devastating and he destroys you 1v1. However, he's an ult magnet and you can easily take him out of the picture, though this means you aren't ulting one of the carries in most of the fights.”
Xidorian says “Easily makes your super-good tank build trash. Wow. Good ganking and one hard champion to outplay. I wouldn't even focus him because he is too tanky.”
gurubashi35 says “Trundles normally take Conq, so under unfavorable circumstances, he can win the 1v1. Post-6 his R has more combat power than yours, so you almost always lose the 1v1, especially since his Q reduces you AD and increases his own.
He is fairly immobile however, and lacks any reliable CC, so he gets easily kited. His R becomes less powerful when there are no tanks to drain on your team, so a team with a lot of ranged champion or mages do well against him.”
chasemyman1 says “Similar to Olaf and Mundo he has such a high sustain and movement speed he will simply try to run you down. Just avoid him and gank other lanes.”
reganakers says “Hard to punish early game due to his movespeed and tankiness. More useful than you late game and if you build tanky you are giving him free stats.”
berronii says “Trundle is still one of the strongest 1v1 champions in the game duo to his R and W. Avoid fighting him as you'll always lose. Wait until you finish Hydra, with Warrior and Hydra you might be able to 1v1 him. ”
ReweVongBordell says “Trundle is very strong early. You can still win fights early if you run ignite and/or have help from your mates. You hard outscale him tho”
PsiGuard says “He's a better duelist than you and his pillar can interrupt your Tunnel. This makes him difficult to escape or engage onto. He can also sap your stats and make you really squishy in team fights. If he ults you, try to disengage until the ult expires. You can kill him if you have lane priority since he can only fight whatever's in his melee range and isn't great against multiple enemies.”
Happty says “Trundle is only a problem if he's got the lead, he'll probably build HP and armor/MR, and if he does have the lead, it'll make him hard to kill. If he's fed a lot, then I'd suggest dueling him, and mostly fighting against him with your teammates. But the good thing is, that trundle isn't that used for jungle.”
Ambient12 says “UNCOMMON. A relatively new support with terrifying zoning and catch potential, Trundle is not a particularly big deal for you. He's tanky but doesn't do that much damage, especially if he's building support. He can easily separate you and his ADC so try to bait out his pillar or wait for a jungler. He will have to choose one of you to pillar and the other will get free access to him.”
League Of Cursed says “If you are winning the fight against him, he is going to w and run away. If you are losing the fight, just fear him and run away. You have a better team fight than him and thats the important part here.
”
Dopamine_influx says “Basically budget voli. He can perma invade you, from lvl 2. Invade back if you see him going his red to your blue, don't contest. You win on counterganks pre 6 if your lane isn't weak. It's better to avoid him and snowball away from him tho. He can 1v1 you even if you're ahead with redsmite, tabi, and ult.”
Xeldom says “Even match-up. Trundle has horrible wave clear however excellent dueling potential. Force fights pre-6 until he builds defensively. Keep in mind he has the ability to steal your AD/Resistances/Health. Trundle's strength is in his ganks/objective control/invades.”
Grenfell says “Probably one of the worst matchups. His E can easily cancel your Q, making it really hard to escape in duels and early game skirmishes. He also steals armor and magic resist, which is what you build. DON'T pick Rammus into a Trundle!”
Jogress says “I met somthing like 3 jungle Trundles and all of them were easy as hell. Then i met one smarter and he punished me for my carelessness. SO. You can poke Trundle kinda easily. But this guy has E pillar and is strong early - don't get caught out of position! In mid-late he shouldn't be able to kill you, unless he gets ahead”
AWierdShoe says “You can kite Trundle very effectively, as Phase Rush's slow resistance allows you to move out of his W area. You can also dash through his E pillar. Trundle does heal with his Q so an early Executioner's Calling doesn't hurt. Keep kiting and counterjungling and you will win. ”
vxryrvre says “You ban Trundle, you ban Trundle, you don't not ban Trundle, if you don't not not ban Trundle and Trundle gets locked you are going to regret not banning Trundle. Don't not ban him.”
DarkArbalist613 says “Just dodge his E and Dont get hit by his Q. If you can kite him out he cant dmg you as all of his abilities rely on him being on top of you, so take advantage of that.”
Comrade Eshgrim says “Not impossible to deal with but it's not healthy to go toe to toe with him either. Better play safe and follow up on his ganks if you see the chance.”
Megalondon says “Trundle is number one enemy of graves. He has insane MS and his q makes him stronger. His q takes you 10 AD and gives him. In addition, you can't kite him as he has High ms and and Pillar of ice. You can't kite while you can't move. He is coming at you like a train so if you want to play graves just ban him.”
GhostReaper87 says “He just got nerfed to the ground and his play rate droped significantly. However if you find a trundle in your game be carefull to trade with him, his pillar can trap you in and has great dmg. Look for ganks and drags when you can. If you fall behind you will not have a fun time against this troll.”
Megalondon says “Trundle is the worst nightmare of graves. Like Udyr, he has insane MS and Pillar of ice, After he uses it your chances of winning 1v1 against him is low. Also keep it in the mind that he has Q, which lowers your AD and increases his own. So if you want to play Graves just perma ban trundle.”
DarkPit59 says “Trundle peut vous ralentir et accélérer sa vitesse de déplacement. Prenez garde à ne jamais l'affronter seul car il excelle en 1 contre 1.”
D3str00 says “When you meet him in jungle, don't engage fight on him. His attack speed and damage are extremely high on level 3. On level 6 You get a slightly advantage, and when you will be lucky enough to pull out a combo on him, do it. Your biggest power spike against him is when You have lvl 8, because of second max on your shield.”
WickedPoppet says “If you are winning the fight against him, he is going to w and run away. If you are losing the fight, just fear him and run away. You have a better team fight than him and thats the important part here.”
agarandom says “- Take conqueror
- Fight in bush
- Don't 1v1 when his R is up
- Go Senguine blade 2nd item (if you want to duel)
Usually against Trundle, you want to full clear.”
LightBright9213 says “The best duelist in the game. Don't ever try to duel him 1v1. He WILL spam invade you. You can kill him if your teammates react to his invades. In team fights, just peel him off the carries.”
SavageFy says “Trundle's early game mobility, damage and healing makes him an extreme threat.
Trundle also has a fast clear time which can give him early level advantages when he invades.”
Sorrowful Prince says “Never fight this guy before 3 Items. You will always lose. His ganks are relatively weak so you might be able to get your laners ahead before he can have an impact. Play for Herald and stay unseen so he is afraid to take a risky gank. Vision is king in this one.”
TrevorJayce says “His Q and R steal your stats, his W gives him attack speed, his E knocks your bitch ass up to the ninth realm. This'd be a really good kit assuming Trundle didn't suck dick. Avoid 1v1s early, you win easy late.”
JackieXDz says “early-you dont raelly want to fight him 1v1, his only tankines attribute comes from his ult so if u get 6 before him is more than good.”
Nico449c says “You wont be able to win a 1v1 early ever and you should never invade him. So your only choice is either counterganking or just outganking him.”
tsiami says “Latest update made him too strong now there are some ways to win this but only if you believe that you are really good , if not pick somthing else ”
KajiKumihoAkukei says “Trundle is a very strong early game jungler. Make sure to avoid fighting him early on and try to reach level 6 as quickly as possible.”
MarkTheHipster says “I wouldn't be too worried about this one, since Trundle isn't popular at all at the moment. But his 1v1 potential is immense and once he gets his Tiamat his clear speed is insane. His ult makes him REALLY good at taking down hyper tanks (such as yourself) Be wary of a good trundle. But again, very unlikely you're actually gonna see one. ”
Alessa Beaumont says “Oh hey, it's Mr. steal your AD! Skirmishing with Trundle is much like hell as Lee Sin mostly depends on his basic attacks on early game which won't make any sense at all when this guy steals your AD. Either get a teammate to fight with this guy or just AFK and just play some other games. No, I'm just kidding, don't AFK, you'll get mass reported U.U”
TOYOism says “Early is hard to invade this mofo, since he has faster clear then you, but if you can counter gank successfully than you'll own this and win the match up.”
Jadiac5 says “If he sets up his area of ice and cathes up to you get ready to engage or get the hell out of there so have your ult up when playing against him.”
theasianmiyagi says “I would not suggest fighting against Trundle unless you have most of your build finished. Trundle has a heal that does MASSIVE damage, so you need life steal to counter that.”
GundayMonday says “Trundle can Use his ultimate to steal your passive resistances and then do a huge chunk of %HP damage. Try to bait out his ultimate, run away, then re-engage when it's on cool down.”
Killerbacca10 says “Hes built to counter tanks. Don't try fighting him in the jungle. He can stop your w with his rock. Try to keep altercations with him strictly to counter ganks and teamfights. You can take a bunch of objectives just make sure he is not near or you die. This matchup can snowball.”
xMalcho says “This champ is fucking broken.Don't fight him 1v1 he will destroy you.Try counterganking him and ward his jungle alot and make sure to ward the scuttle before you take your first buff.”
BigBadVoodo says “A lot of bruisers do well against us, and this is one that performs very well. We must pressure him early, but after 6 i don't think there's an easy way of killing him due to his immense heal and overall dmg when he picks up a couple of items. ”
xTheUnlimited says “Trundle is a 1v1 beast. Stay away from him! His ultimate is pretty dangerous for you, so take a step back when he used it on you. Your amount of CC is higher, so I would try to gank a lot to set him behind. His damage output is pretty high though. ”
MaRtOOOOOOOOOOO says “He can cancel your Q with his E and he can kill you at lvl 2. If you dont give him early lead he will suck mid/late game due to the BIG NERFS that he received. Honestly he isn't considered champion anymore and no one plays him.”
Corvux says “This troll can set up obstacles and slow you too much. Also his bite will help him to recover a lot of health wile he destroy your shield in no time. ”

Tips Against Trundle in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
Drake6401 says “Hard counter pick. You won't be able to realistically win lane but it's also not hard to go even if you just farm over fight. His Q will reduce your damage and lasts too long to wait out. Recommended building both Adaptive Force on your rune page so you start with as much AD as possible. NEVER dash engage him because Trundle is great at forcing long fights, especially if he's good at his E placement. Keep the wave closer to your tower unless you get a lead so he can't run you down so easily. This is my counter pick every time the other player picks Renekton before me with 100% success so far. The best tip is be the last to ult. He steals your HP with his ultimate.”
Anoying bro5 says “Parry his Q to deny massive damage and to slow him. When he ults, run away unless you can kill him fast. Give him ult respect throughout entire game unless you are really ahead.”
RTO says “You have sustain and you should out trade him with your full combo with rage. However do NOT look to all in him unless he is chunked hard. He will win extended trades. ”
LiL Bunnie FuFuu says “The troll has really high stats and base health, good mobility, good waveclear, and a big fucking pillar. None of these things are particularly big problems except the pillar. It is amazing disruption that can set up ganks from anywhere.
What Trundle wants to do is pillar, walk up and beat the shit out of you. To avoid this, it comes down to positioning and spacing. Never walk up to him if you're not next to the turret, never stand too close to a wall to avoid being creepblocked, and look to freeze if you can't shove the wave in time.
Trundle likes hitting things, particularly turrets. Watch out for his backdoor. If he tries to teamfight just hook him and he's useless.”
Raen says “Rush Tabi and try to block his Q with your E. Remember that his ult removes some of your resists and drains your health over time. Executioner's Calling can be useful vs his huge healing from every source.”
Phrxshn says “Make short trades with Trundle. Avoid fighting in his Frozen Domain(W) as he gains Attack Speed and Movement Speed bonus. Dodge his Pillar of Ice(E). Avoid fully fighting him whilst he has Subjugate(R) on. If you have another tank on your team try to avoid building too many tank items due to his R. (Outscaling Edge: Even) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Even) (Recommended Items: Morello's or Thornmails)”
Boptimus says “I would recommend taking Lethality vs Trundle as he will just steal all of your stats if you go tank. His pillar cancels your Q and of course counts as a wall to slam into with your R. Play around pillar and don't take an all-in vs his R unless you know you'll kill him.”
Smartest2 says “Trundle gets tougher as the game goes on. Laning phase is tricky due to the fact that we wittle champions down over time, and Trundle has built in sustain. We actually don't have much kill potential on Trundle until we have both Death's Dance and Black Cleaver built. Until then, you'll most likely see a pretty even lane. But because it's an even lane, an enemy jungler ganking could throw the advantage in his favor, so make sure to keep those wards down.”
Fryx says “Trundle is hard to beat. His sustain and damage are astonishing and his ult is annoying in teamfights. His weakness is his immobility so a nice jungle gank will get you easy kills and later on just ignore him and focus on the carries. Go for Items such as Gargoyle early since the active gives you the most value.”
maxlid3 says “Keep your distance. Early game he is pretty weak but he has a lot of ways to engage onto you. He can slow you and make himself faster and deny your escape. Try to hold your W until he is in front of you.”
FeedLaneGetCaryd says “(Bone Plating+Armor) Steelcaps+healing reduction are great against Trundle. You should be able to win lvl 9 all-in. Urgot outscales Trundle.”
SettVEVO says “This champion counters you, he wins level 1 and if he plays well he will win every fight against you. Play safe against him in laning phase, he will look to slowly chip your health until he can all in. He is a ball of stats and he steals your stats as well. As long as you don't feed him in laning phase you will be much more useful than him. I would suggest building BORK against him as he will probably splitpush and BORK gives you great dueling power.”
Yumi Project says “The Gwen Special. LOOK OUT FOR IGNITE. This imbecile 90/100 will take ignite top like a failure of man he is.
Win This matchup when he waste this resource. Your all-is still better.”
King Turtle says “Even though he isn't a very common top pick he is incredibly difficult to trade with when matched up against him. He has no cc to parry into a stun unless his pillar knockup counts, and regardless it's going to be difficult to time. Furthermore, he has a lot of power with his ultimate and can run you down if you don't kite him properly.”
RareParrot says “He will never kill you, get plated steel caps and poke him down any time he walks up to cs, dont get close enough to let him pillar you into him because he can get a lot of damage in a short amount of time.”
Rhoku says “TL;DR - SKILL MATCHUP. CONQUEROR IS RECOMMENDED HEAVILY. DON’T FIGHT HIM EARLY. STELCAPS->BRAMBLE IF YOU ARE GETTING DESTROYED. BE CAREFUL OF HIS PILLAR. DON’T UNDERESTIMATE HIS ULTIMATE.
He is similar to Olaf in that you should be keeping trades short early on. Try to just Q him and back off, because a PTA Trundle can beat you up very quickly. His DPS when you allow him to constantly auto and use his abilities on you is staggering so you really should be kiting well against him. Try to fight him after he uses his Pillar, as then he will have no way to slow you down/escape. As I mentioned before, you should be looking for Qs, as he doesn’t really have any way of avoiding them if he is going for minions. His ultimate can be surprisingly powerful at times as he just steals ur stats so it might not be the worst idea to simply try to disengage and then fight him again. Trundle also falls off super hard so there’s THAT to look forward to. He is very good at setting up ganks due to his Pillar so try not to walk around walls to much so that he can’t just completely block you off. Steelcaps are a great buy into him and if that isnt enough, Bramble vest is another great purchase if he is ahead of you. If you are ahead, you can freely buy damage. Conqueror is recommended, as both the extra damage and the healing are nigh mandatory.”
PH45 says “Block his Q with your E and be careful when he ults you as it removes some of your resists and drains your hp over time. Don't give him lead in lane and you should win him. ”
Psychopathic Top says “
Not seen top a lot, but Trundle is a hard Nasus counter with his R. He takes all of Nasus’s resistances and beats you down hard. Laning against Trundle is relatively safe and easy, but outside lane phase or post level 6, he will R you every time for your stats and make you useless for a few seconds. The best way to fight this champion is to kite out his R. If he Rs you just drop wither and run. There is no point splitting or dueling vs trundle, as a good trundle build can always beat you down throughout the game. It is also hard to outscale him due to his R. Teamfights are also relatively hard, because you will have 0 defensive stats for a while.
”
Stinkee says “Trundle is the ultimate tank counter. His ultimate will steal all of your tank stats turning you into a squishy champion and him into a super tank. He has a lot of sustain in the laning phase and will steal your AD with his Q.
He can interrupt both your ult and your Q with his pillar (your Q will be put on a 2 second cooldown).
Fortunately Trundle is not very good or popular top lane right now but if you get matched against him play safe and ask for ganks. Max Q or W and rush health and armor items. If he ults you, run, you have no chance of beating him during him ult.”
qveenevelynn says “Really annoying, can slow you, block you and stuff. He have great dammage and his ult is powerful. Don't be greedy and wait the great occasion to fight him. Don't all in ”
The_Unf0rgiv3n says “Trundle is a dangerous laner, but if you grab a brable vest early and then rush Kraken Slayer, you should be winning the trades with him. Just avoid trading with him if he uses his W even while you have the bramble vest.”
The Rock Titan says “[Grasp, Doran's Shield, E > W] - Take short Grasp trades
- This lane is very similar to Tryndamere, lane phase is not hard but later on, they just split push so much
- Definitely get Thornmail and Anathema's Chain to try to stop his split pushing.”
Rhoku says “Trundle is a very strong 1v1er. He will CREAM you until level 6 and he may also beat you then. You are going to need either Ghost or Ignite to beat him. You outrange him so you either poke him down and kill him with ignite OR you all in him and kite him with Ghost. You NEED to kite him by the way. His DPS when he is allowed to AA you is staggering. Use your ultimate AFTER he uses his ice zone and his pillar, as it removes both of those from the fight. But he will counter with his own ultimate. Ideally you want to ult after he himself ults. He steals your stats and you steal his stats. And without his ice zone attack speed, you SHOULD win. Don't worry if you are not ahead, as you outscale him VERY hard later on. Ninja Tabis are NECESSARY here.”
YasTilt says “Rare Matchup, Take Anti-Heal against him, because he Heals a lot with his Auto-Attacks, Q and R. He'll be really weak in TeamFights so abuse of that. During Laning Phase, wait for him to use W before engaging.”
Phrxshn says “Make short trades with Trundle. Avoid fighting in his Frozen Domain(W) as he gains Attack Speed and Movement Speed bonus. Dodge his Pillar of Ice(E). Avoid fully fighting him whilst he has Subjugate(R) on. If you have another tank on your team try to avoid building too many tank items due to his R. (Outscaling Edge: Even) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Even) (Recommended Items: Thornmails)”
Fan22 says “Trundles R its complete as* as Cho'gath.
It steals a part from your Max HP and steals your armor and MR.
However you can Burst him with the true damage from your ultimate and with a morello or thornmail you deny his healings.
If going tank get a thornmail, if he is going full tank/support just adapt to what you need in that game.”
A_Drunk_Carry says “This lane match-up really sucks, but luckily you won't see Trundle top very often. Do beware if the enemy team has a Trundle jg, though. His ult literally turns you from a big bad dog into a tiny pupper. Trundle will thank you for the stats, chomp you up, and dance on your grave. ”
SavagePridestalker says “Personally haven't played this matchup yet, but I don't think it's too hard. Proc grasp as much as you can, use your doubleW to get away. If he ults you, make sure to disengage, he takes away a lot of your stats.”
KarmaChamelion says “Trundle is THE tank counter and while he's rarely seen top. He will be hell on earth as he heals a shit ton if you die near him due to his passive and has an ult that steals your tanky stats and turns him into an absolute unit while crippling you. Since it's so rare to see him in general and ESPECIALLY top I don't suggest banning him but rather dodging or just not picking Sejuani if you see the enemy pick him.”
SanLourdes says “Because Trundle steals stats, he is the best tank counter. His ultimate will make you squishy and make him extremely tanky. His E can disrupt your ult and your Q. No matter the stage of the game, Trundle will be a major threat. Since Trundle isn't a popular pick, he isn't the best ban. It is better to dodge than to face him however.”
apkibum says “Trundle, when played well can absoloutely destroy you, he does a lot of damage plus has great cc with his slow. Hes annoying and a struggle to play against with no mana. Run as soon as u see him early game.”
Bombabo says “If you fight on Trundle's terms, he will win. The best thing you can do is poke him down and deny him the opportunity to engage on you. When he is around 60% health, it is safe to engage. Also, his E is one of the few cc abilities which your E cannot negate”
SethPRG says “The only annoying thing is how if you're not ahead he will run you down and block off your escape paths. He steals your stats at level 6, and if he builds Trinity it's scary how fast he attacks. But you should never run into those problems because you win early level fights, except for level 1, don't get baited into that or you lose lol. To start a trade use your Q into E and just punch him. He needs to walk away after that, because if he attacks you, you will just W him and he will lose the trade harder. When he's low, if he lays down his domain to try and get away save your E for that. Diving him can be tricky because of his pillar and ult, but you can kill him pretty fast, especially if you collapse on him with multiple people. He doesn't have much of a use in team fights other than separating people on your team and chasing them down. But you hard counter that because when he walks up to your team you just ult him back to Troll Town. The main scary thing about this matchup is how fast he takes turrets, especially with the new Trinity Force. Be aware of him splitting, and never leave him be there, because your turrets will be gone in seconds. Collapse on him with one other team member if he tries to keep splitting, but don't chase him too far without vision of where the enemy team is, it could be bait. Take Bramble early for his ult, and Plated Steelcaps preferred unless you really need the Tenacity and MR from Mercury Treads. Trundle will build Trinity Force (unless he's an idiot) so you need to match that. Your 1v1 is stronger than his with the same item, so he'll never be able to beat you unless you like completely miss your W or something stupid.”
Kaizin says “Bramble vest rush is really good against trundle as majority of his damage is from auto attacks. He steals AD so be careful of extended trades. Take short trades from level 3 onwards working around your E cooldown. When level 6 comes, you can all in trundle, but make sure you use your ultimate after his, otherwise he'll steal the extra health that your R gives you.”
PK Noob says “Try not to duel Trundle unless you know you can win. Trundle can steal your defense, magic resist, and get bonus stats from his W. Get grievous wounds to make your life a bit easier against him.”
JeanMichelBambi says “Trundle isn't much of an issue at all stages of the game, you shouldn't be loosing to one unless they get ridiculously ahead of you”
tibs2 says “Bramble rush. Trundle is kinda bad rn but even if he ever does become meta it should never be anything over a 3. You can kite with buckler and q, the only way he can close the gap is e but he does not even win really unless he uses r. But if he uses e then r you should just insta r him away and hes back to being useless. Free ganks for your jungle and you outscale, as long as you dont get too cocky it should just be a free outscale lane. ”
Noodles912 says “Keep your distance, and its ggwp. Look for empowered Qs, and freeze the wave at your tower. He can't turret dive you. If he uses his pillar and movement boost, use E+W to disengage. ”
negoZoma69 says “Trundle is a bruiser counterpick that struggles against ranged. All you need to do is keep your distance and poke him, don't stand to close to walls as he can use his pillar to block you. Lane is loseable as AP Neeko though because he has good sustain.”
MrShykun says “MATCHUP SKILLED. CONQUEROR ET HAUTEMENT RECOMMANDE. EVITEZ LES FIGHTS EARLY. TABIS ET ARMURE RONCIERE SI VOUS VOUS FAITES DETRUIRE. NE SOUSESTIMEZ PAS SON ULTIME IL VOUS ENLEVE TANT DE RESISTANCE QUE VOUS DEVENEZ UNE CHIPS. ESSAYEZ D'INVESTIR SUR UNE QSS POUR PARTIR PLUS TARD SUR AUBE DE HAUT LAC ARGENT CAR VOUS POURREZ CANCEL SON ULTIME. Essayez de le kite un maximum des early trade avec juste un Q et ensuite reculer pourrait suffire. Essayez de le trade lorsqu'il na plus son pillar pour vous slow comme cela vous pourrez le trade sans qu'il s'enfuit. Son ultime peut parfois être étonnamment puissant car il vole simplement vos statistiques, donc ce n'est peut-être pas la pire idée d'essayer simplement de désengage puis de le combattre à nouveau. Trundle n'a pas un bon late game pensez a ca et faite attention car son pillar peut amener a des bon ganks. Pour l'itemisation tabis est très bien et si il vous bat armure roncière en +. Si vous êtes devant rush estropieur comme d'habitude.”
Erenando says “He is weak pre 6. His ult will be a pain in the ass and since there is Sanguine Blade you won't be able to fight him. Get yourself Frozen heart asap such as ninja tabis and stack as much as possible.”
Drumastermunch says “I haven't found how to manage this guy yet, even with a lead he still can take you down. Respect his ult obviously, and try to slowpush him to get turret plates before 6. Pre 6 he can't really kill you if you play safe, but you can kill him if he doesn't”
Olaf Only says “All fights will be very close. Try to fight him when his W is on CD(15 seconds).
Trundle is worse in teamfights but outscales Olaf eventually.”
LunaticDancer says “A knowledge match up really, you both need to know your relative power to know when to trade. Generally avoid his buff zones, but as it often is, if you have your whole squad ready, you win.”
SpyDaFX says “level 6 is super annoying, and literally almost impossible to kill. you must kill him before he reaches 6 otherwise you'll lose the lane. Hard. go Conqueror”
Ravenborne says “Beats you Level 1 and 2. You start winning afterwards. Trades are not really worth because he will just heal back up. Go for all ins. ”
Kil4fun says “I don't see trundle often but I know that he saps movement speed. Your only escape is movement speed so if he can run at you you don't have much for counterplay besides flash.”
MarkFromSingedMains says “Will bonk the life out of you if you're not careful. Bramble is good here. MAKE SURE TO ONLY ULT AFTER HE ULTS AS HE WILL STEAL MORE STATS FROM YOU IF YOU ULT FIRST.”
Devilofthewest says “Trundle has alot of sustain, so short trades is better. DO not try and fight to the death at levels 1 and 2 , most cases you will lose. At level 3 you can start trading more but keep the trades short, also you will need ignite to finish him off.”
ChevalierArlo says “A ultimate dele te derrete durante as trocas, mas sem isso e executando trocas curtas e favoráveis pra você, ele será simples de se lidar.”
ineptpineapple says “Slows but so do you and you have a long ranged dash simples if you loose this match up its probably ganks and stuff or you have a habit of staying a bit too long.”
LeSocair says “Avoid long trades and always have a Keg on you, he likes to chase and hit you. This is the same as Olaf, he's picked only when he's good, and when he's good, he's GOOD.”
iZeal says “You can poke Trundle with Q, but again do not try to stand still while fighting him. Instead always keep moving to compensate for your lack of attack speed. If Trundle ults you, disengage unless far ahead. Trundle has problems since he has to max his Q for damage in lane and then has to choose between his W for extra dueling power or E for an actual useful ability. Level 1 E will basically not hinder your ability to walk away from Trundle too much. You can buy grievous wounds if you struggle with Trundle as well as Ninja Tabis. You outscale, but Trundle can turn you into paper with his ultimate.
DBlade, Tabis!, Phage, Bramble if struggling”
NoxianBlood says “Trundle might be a tricky matchup for Sion, he can interrupt your channel Q with his pillar, but just make him use it before you channel like when he wants to chase you, try not to fight him in his glacial zone he's stronger there, and don't fight him at all when he ults you healing a ton and his autos hurt a bit, and steals your tank stats, so just be aware and wait for his ult to finish and engage when his pillar is on cooldown.”
viktoreeu says “Don't fight with him early on, you will beat him easily with Kraken.
Try to farm mostly, I didn't match against trundle many times, however, level 4 is the time where you may kill him.
tempo ignite is super nice, however, ghost is better to run them down.”
ItsPaulygon says “I rarely see Trundle in top now. But if you're up against him he won't be much of a problem. Even if you're in his W, you can just press E if he engages and out damage him. He can't beat you in lane though. Unless he baits your E.”
GLP1 says “it's very rare to find it right now in the top lane but if you do it you make hardcounter you don't have to worry, they're practically free kills.”
Defensivity1 says “Don't trade auto attacks in melee range as trundle will win every single time you do that, try to poke him with ghouls before melee engaging, buying Executioner's calling is advised.”
YoungTact says “Treat it the same way you would the garen matchup, if he tries to engage onto you Q and kite. Punish with passive once you've created space. You can always disengage with W and/or E'ing a minion behind you if hard commits with pillar and his ult.”
qasddsa says “He slows you, steals your stats, and has a nice bite that also slows. Make sure to buy either a Rylai's or Blade of the Ruined King to help you deal with him. In teamfights, if he uses his Ultimate on you or your tank, be sure to focus him down. I recommend using either Conqueror or Press the Attack here.”
PH45 says “Sustains quite a lot thanks to his passive but isn't really too strong at the moment. Don't get too much chunked by his Q, and if he Q's you and you aren't able to trade properly, fall back since he'll have more AD for a while. Trundle is really immobile (lacks dashes) so he can be ganked quite easily.”
ERNESTSAURUS says “CONQUEROR / SPELLBOOK SETUP - CLOTH ARMOR + 4 POTS =
Trundle is such a good pick into tanks and even in the jungle he is used as a hard counter to Sejuani, but in Top lane he usually goes for a full AD build with a lot of Lifesteal. In laning phase, similar to Xin Zhao, YOU MUST RESPECT HIS EARLY GAME, even if the dude straight up started no items, he can beat you even without them (early on). Usually they will go for Tiamat into Trinity, so the wave will be usually on your side of the lane. Even after lvl 6 and Sheen, Trundle can still win due that he can just wait for you to use R and then he will use his R to gain all your bonus resistances of Nasus R, and therefor win. This is why you can run Conqueror on him because Conqueror will provide with the best Splitpushing / Dueling scaling setup and its somewhat decent into teamfights or Spellbook will provide with more early on surviaviability. Later on to the game you do outscale him just because your Q stacks infinitively but overall you can't really fight him in any stage of the game. The best technique I found is to splitpush and then outrotate him in a teamfight. The later the game goes the more valuable you become over him.”
HoesBeforeBros69 says “Trundle lived through a rough childhood not because of his ugly face or big nose but because he has red hair. Though physically weaker his anger against beautiful manly dudes like Taric made him a hateful man. This hate made him stronger and allowed him to unlock long lost spells like "magical frozen penetrator enlargement" or "lemme suck your life fluids out". As long as you are careful when engaging him you should be fine since your club hits harder and more importantly your hair isn't red.
”
Grayified says “Lethal Tempo Runes and Build. Ignite + Flash. Long sword refillable potion start. DO NOT FOR ANY REASON TRY TO FIGHT TRUNDLE LEVEL 1 EVEN IF HE HAS NO ITEMS OR HE HAS NO ARMS. HE WILL BEAT YOU. His Q reduces your attack damage, gives him an auto reset, can proc his pta or conqueror faster and will grant him attack damage and is on a 4 second cooldown. Once you hit level 4 and you get the extra base stats from levels and AD from your Q you will be powerful enough to start looking for trades with him. Trundle's pillar can knock you up but it does not CC you meaning that you can actually spin away or towards trundle while being knocked up. Be careful when you are far up the lane against trundle because if you take a bad trade and try to spin out he can pillar you and chase you down and force you into an allin. If Trundle is chasing you down try just walking away from him and save your spin for when he pillars you. A good time to take a trade with trundle is when his W is on cooldown. His W gives him increased healing, movement speed, and a bunch of attack speed. Trundle's ultimate steals health and resistances which can make him tanky, if you are able to force his ult and back off and reengage the all in after his ulti is down, you can fight him with an ultimate advantage (assuming you couldnt just kill him through his ultimate.) Ignite can cut down on Trundle's healing immensely and as a 6th item against trundle. Mortal reminder is also a good choice (potentially go executioners early on too if he rushes lifesteal)”
Chili Dog says “Runes: Conqueror, Triumph, Alacrity, Last Stand + Magical Footwear/Futures Market, Cosmic Insight.
Sub Runes: CDR, Damage, Armor
Summoners: TP or Ignite.
Honestly, haven't had this matchup in a while but in case it does pop up, here's some tips for it. He beats you in every aspect...basically. Just try to short trade with him to avoid his...entire kit. I've found the only time i've been able to beat him without jungler's help, is if I get lvl 6 first. without his stat steal move, its possible for Riven to out trade/kill him. Other than that, just sit under tower and farm. ”
ZergDood says “He will bite and heal, and you don't want to fight that. Rush Bramble Vest, he's one of those guys you'll run away from when he tries to engage, so remember to Q and run backwards when he's close. You should be able to poke him down, but his sustain is really stressing to play against. Disengage using your W, E or/AND R.”
wallobear53 says “Short trades are the way to go in this lane as Trundle can easily win early game trades due to his Q and W. It will give him a huge dueling advantage so try to maintain your distance and avoid fighting him.
Positioning is very important in this lane, especially when you’re trying to ward the river entrance or hugging a wall. You don’t want to get cornered by him with his E unless you have a mobility spell in your kit.
Trundle’s Passive allows him to get a lot of free sustain in the lane so make sure you invest in Grievous Wounds early on to even out the trades. Trade on a regular basis and only go for short trades.

Fiora Pogjet says “Just a cancer shit that presses Q and W and aa you 30 times. try to Prarry his Q when he attacks you to outtrade him and not get slowed.”

BloodyDream81 says “Match up pas si compliqué, mais très dur à aborder car cela demande de connaître les mécaniques de Trundle et du jeu de manière générale, sinon il peut très rapidement te tuer, et snowball.
Prend conquérant quoi qu'il arrive contre lui, ne l'affronte pas avant ton niveau 3, et à la manière du match up contre Olaf, soit très mobile pendant le fight, garde les trades court et tu devrais t'en sortir !
En revanche une fois qu'il est niveau 6 soit très vigilante, pendant la durée de son ulti qui est de 5 secondes, trundle est imprenable en 1 vs 1, tu dois courir jusqu'à la fin de la durée de l'ulti en essayant de placer son A et ton Z pour survivre, et une fois son ulti terminer, tu te retournes pour l'achever !
Astuce : Tabi ninja et Bramble vest sont d'excellent outil pour répondre à ses menaces, soit vigilantes à ne pas être trop proche des murs, ca lui permettrait de te bloquer avec son Pillard (son E).”
Dantheman81 says “Trundle can be a bit difficult due to his healing ability and damage output. Since his heals are almost permanent and his ult ads even more I recommend taking Executioners calling early on as it cuts all of his healing by 40% for 3 whole seconds and every time you or a ghoul hits him it refreshes. You should take spirit visage this game as well to stay alive longer or grab death's dance to have safer duels vs him.”
Twiggymocha says “You can easily outpoke trundle with your e and w. The main reason he is seen as a counter to sion is due to his pillar. Trundle's pillar counters sion q, because he can cancel it. It is also a hard counter to sion's ultimate, since it can stop him right in his tracks. ”
Angela du Seithr says “Il n'aura que peu de résistances à tirer de vous, mais Trundle frappe fort et son pilier (E) peut retourner une situation si il le place efficacement. Jouez la distance et gardez toujours une option de recul en prenant en compte le pilier.”
darksage1234 says “You can trade evenly if you step out of his frozen domain. Do not engage him while he is there, unless you have a tremendous health advantage over him. ”
DirtyDishSoap says “I'd say the scaling is even. He can't really all in you, you can all in him however. The problem is that he heals quite a bit, nerfs your AD, steals your health and gains bonus armor and MR.
He's an incredibly dangerous laner in the right hands, but if you play this right, he won't be able to split push effectively. ”
Sq_09 says “Trundle beat you. Trundle kill you. Trundle have damage so he shits on your sustain. Trundle have MS so he shits on your slow. Trundle have slow so he shits on your MS. Trundle have pillar so you're dead lol. Trundle have R ... yea you get it. ”
VIP Titan says “Trundle has got a low base health stats to be fair. But his Q and his passive make him a strong character to fights. Since he get decent sustains from it.
Tips:
Wait for his Q debuff out of you. Use E to trades with him if need.
When he did R you, make sure try to burst him out as soon as possible.
MAX E not Q! ”
Discord Rengar Mains says “Trundle is basically an early to mid game mix of both Jax and Nasus. He does what they do, but earlier and much faster, at least at first, while also being a pretty good melee bully. He also loves to fight people with limited mobility that he can retain in his W AoE. Your mobility is limited and you are a melee assassin / bruiser without natural on demand escapes. Do the math. Be very careful around Trundle at every stage of the game since if he plays it correctly he can completely fuck you over and make you absolutely irrelevant very very fast. He is also a pushing monster, and was benefited from the changes to BotRK significantly, which gives him the option to get it and thus ensure your next 20 minutes of existance will only know pain. To be honest the only way you have to deal with Trundle as a top laner is to hit and run him and then flee the moment you've used up your combo before he pillars you into his loving arms. From 6 onwards fighting him with his ultimate up is suicide, you will need to bait it out of him first, flee, then try to go in again if he didn't beat you half to death with his club. The only saving grace of this matchup is that you can kite him decently and if he fucks up he will be put behind considerably. He also pushes pretty hard once he gets tiamat, which can be abused into getting him ganked. I would recommend tp over ignite unless you are 100% sure your jungle will camp you early, since it's hard to kill him on your own. Either conqueror or grasp works fine, but DON'T go with a heavy defense build (like tank stasis or similar) because you will be giving him free stats in teamfights. Never focus him unless he is near death's door, he will never die from your burst unless you are superahead.”
Itreallyhim says “He will steal your stats, So ult him after hes Ulted and Q'ed you to stack those stats onto yourself.
You can remove him if he ults someone else, Do short trades.”
Oblak says “He simply destroys you, you can't 1v1 him in any moment of the game, his ultimate destroys your tank potential, wait for a gank and stay safe.”
mac.moba says “One of the few champions that destroy you at level 1. Don’t even try to fight him early, his Q is on a 4 second cool down, it’s an auto attack reset and it reduces your AD. Best time to try fight Trundle is when his W is on cool down. After level 6, you can bait out his ultimate by walking in to him and forcing him to all-in, but make sure his W is down. After he uses his ultimate you can just walk away and re-engage with an ult advantage provided you're healthy enough. Build an early Executioner’s Calling in this matchup, followed by Ninja Tabi.”
ForgottenProject says “Parry his chomp to slow his AS
Bait his R and Q away
He has a very strong Level 6, so don’t try to fight him then
Don’t 1v1 if he has ult unless you are fed”
The Lost Drawing says “Aplica la misma que con Garen, si te tira su 'R' retirate ya que se cura mucho y te roba tu daño, puede salir de su pilar de hielo con tu 'E'”
TheBiskoppen says “Basically it skilled match up a good trundle will sit behind and get level 6 before he do anything active, try and poke him out of lane, even tho its hard with his passive”

Split King says “Trundle is an anti tank. You cannot win 1v1, unless you wait for him to run out of mana. Just farm. He cannot kill you unless you decide to fight him”
Big Belly Bop says “Easily kite-able, easily poke-able, no gap closer. Focus on getting stacks and shoving him out of lane. If he gets a good pillar off just E away and root him. Flash + TP, Doran's Blade, Sustained Damage rune page.”
Loevely says “I used to view the matchup as easy, but after playing against a few more Trundles in the recent patches, he's a lot stronger than I had initially thought. His Q lowers your ad making you do worse in trades and his pillar is straight cancer when it bugs out. Fight him pre-6 with Conq or Grasp but wait until level 3 so that you can consistently double W out after a trade. Post 6 the 1v1 is impossible unless you're very far ahead. ”
Defensivity1 says “Trundle, to beat a trundle the conqueror page is recommanded, do not build any armor items except thornmail bramble vest, ur better of getting yourselve mercury treads to negate his pillar slow and try to not stack any armor before you finished both triforce and steraks he is mainly a threath when he hits level 6 for the first time and when his jungeler ganks you, so be carefull and always let him push you in.”
ProgettoYorick says “Against trundle it's really easy, you just have to wait for level 6 and then close it and beat it.
Advice from OTP:
If it causes you problems, build the ninja tabbi as the first item”
linsher19 says “His R is really strong so if you want to fight him make sure his R is gone or if you think you have enough Q stacked up you can just go all in ”
New Swain New Main says “He has good sustain and my be able to outlast your ultimate. Additionally, he has good mobility to run away from you if you are winning.”
Hamstertamer says “He beats you early game, but you can disengage with W. His ult partially counters yours, but you should never ult first, you should let him ult you and disengage. Even matchup, it's all about taking the right fight at the right moment.”
Guantecillo says “Carece de daño, de movilidad y es demasiado predecible, usa tu Q cuando Trundle se acerque para que no pueda ralentizarte y kitearle sin problemas.”
Poppu says “Trundle sustains from your minions dying and steals your Armor/MR at 6. Try to get ganks off and play safe. If you do trade, make sure you out trade him with dmg.”
Aizo says “Good news, nobody plays trundle, better news even fewer people play him toplane. Bad news, he's gonna take all your tank stats and kill you with ease.”
Jnewbringspain says “Trundle is generally easy because you can Counter Strike most of his damage. The tricky part is when to activate your ult. Trundle's Subjugate steals a percentage of your health, armor, and magic resist. This means if you activate your ult, and then he uses his, he steals a lot more armor and magic resist. Only activate Grandmaster's Might after he uses Subjugate.”
messketchup says “Pre-6, you win almost every trade as long as you always kite back after you land your AA-W-Q combo, then wait a few seconds beating him around his bite cooldown, and pull back him before your 5th second tick which by then, you can do the same combo again shortly and you can snowball off of that pre-6. However after at level 6 he can beat you up. If you don't kite you will die. Buy Ninja Tabi.”
12inchpvpness says “Trade and if you're even pick up an early executioners calling to block his passive and if you're ahead build normally. If he uses ult and its unclear who is winning the fight, you're not going to win it. Trundle can't beat you in lane but he can win in a 1v1 cage match all in. So don't give it to him and take this free win.”
Devitt45 says “You can win this depending on how you play it. Only fight him after he uses his hard hitting bite, and run away from his Frozen Domain, that way its more of a fair fight. If you get ulted by Trundle (in which case you will become smaller) start running.”
M2 Jizu says “Bloquea su Q con tu W (trata de predecir)
si necesitas las tabis compralas en el primer back y si no comprate la parte de la cota de espinas que te da las heridas graves para cortarle las curaciones. ”
DrMoneybags says “He drains your AD and Armor, but thats about it. Kled should win most trades against him, although I rarely see him anymore toplane. Executioners Calling is great against his healing, and jungler ganks will destroy him early on.”
Qubert64 says “You cannot fight him at any time. He steals a percentage of your resistances with his ult and steals flat damage from you as well. If you dont fight him without backup get a thornmail and lure him out of his icy terrain if possible. Block as much as you can.”
Speedy the dart says “You can fight him at level one if you bring PTA ignite. Trundle falls off very hard after level one, and this lane is utterly free after that. I recommend ignite and conqueror, and chilling until level 2. Go bramble if you somehow lose the early game.”
TheNinjaRoid says “Fall behind, you'll lose. Get ahead, you'll win. Get Trinity Force and you'll be fine if you're even or ahead. Watch out for his ult.”
The Stanko says “Catches bard out very easily with his E, makes laning very difficult. Keep a good distance and try to bait out his E and punish for it. ”
SynergyXO says “his Q and R counter trynds damage, his slow and knock back allows him to chase you down. you dont win at all, unless he allows you to.”
E61K says “Believe it or not you can't exactly fight this guy straight up at 6 because his ult makes him really tanky by stealing a large portion of your resistances. You have to bait it, wait it out then fight him unless you clearly have the advantage on him. Phase Rush is excellent for doing just that. After Trinity Force/Cleaver + Sterak's you can easily bash his head in. Be careful in teamfights if you're the only beefy one on your team since you will probably be the target of his ultimate.”
SwiftOblivion says “Strengths: Steals Stats, Sustain, 1v1 potential. Weaknesses: Low mobility, squishy without ultimate, Out-scaled. Trundle is strong early considering he is a fellow bruiser that can steal others' stats with his ultimate. Be sure to riposte his chomp and be aware of when he ults as it gives him a distinct advantage when trying to trade. An advantage that shouldn't be messed with. Do not trade with him right after he chomps as he gains AD nor trade with him while he has his Frozen domain as the attack speed steroid is strong. TL;DR, fight him when his abilities are on cooldown and look for as many Q pokes as possible before you all in him. Bait out his Ultimate if possible and All-in when its down. After you are ahead, it becomes pretty easy to splitpush against him.”
Miracle Matter says “Treat Trundle like a Nasus. Harass him with single Q's from afar; Whenever he attempts to Pillar (e.g. Wither) you, slow him once and rewind immediately, and when the first slow is about to expire, cast the second slow. That slows him for 5 seconds straight, which should be enough time to get away from him. You can also slow him and double-bomb stun him if you aim well enough (remember, he'll be abnormally fast on his ice. Have to aim between him and yourself so he runs *into* the stun, rather than trying to land it directly on top of him.)
He will build Tiamat, but you should be able to start shoving him in once you have Tear+Lost Chapter Regardless, and once you have some armor and your Ignite is up, you may be able to 1v1 him. Attempt to bait out his ulti and disengage, then all-in when he doesn't have his Ulti (so he's less tanky.)”
Sion says “He out-heals most of your damage, so just focus on CS and don't fight him without jung. When he ults you just run away and then re-engage when his frostfield is down.”
E61K says “This guy steals everthing. He steals your AD. He steals your resistances and he does a pretty damn good job at stealing your health bar as well. If he ults you back off right away because you will be extremely squishy for a fairly long time. Trundle is a good duelist. Don't underestimate him. Make sure to set up good vision because his pillar along with the slow from his Q allow for some great set up for his jungler.”
nanosako says “Hard to duel as well because of his sustain and attack damage removal, try to poke him with some Q's before finding an opportunity to Smite + Jump R”
Mouadyam says “probably the only bruiser who can outduel you, do fast combos (E , auto , W,; Q) until you're confident enough you can dunk, tabis are a must buy.”
Demon Lord AC0 says “I don't recall the last time I went against a Trundle with Yasuo, but I do know he can do some damage and disable you. Don't fight him in his zone. Rush Bork and Tabi”
Skullsunderer says “He is weird to deal with a little annoying. Creating terrain and a buff area for him. Just keep spinning and auto attacking. Don't fight him after he ults or in his domain, he will when. He can out heal five stack Darius and kill you.”
Dacnomaniak says “Early game is no problem, but his all in is way better than yours and splitting potential is also way better. Avoid extended fights and you should be fine.”
JovexMasina says “This is similar to Renekton in terms of it being a brawl up toplane. But Renekton's damage comes in burst. He has MASSIVE dps. Standing there and just letting Trundle beat you down is a great way to just get shit on. You HAVE to kite him. Try not to fight him level 1 as his bite allows him to just out damage you. Your Q outranges his slightly so you kinda have that going for you. His pillar is great at setting up ganks for his team and his ultimate just nullifies your usefulness at times. If he uses his ult on you, simply W or pull him and just run away. You WILL lose UNLESS, he is low hp and you KNOW you can kill him with your ultimate. Without his ult, he can't really do too much against you. Trundle also falls of really hard lategame. But instead of becoming completely useless like Olaf, he becomes like a supporty tank. He is usually a great target to get 5 stacks on in teamfights. Tabis are good.”
galvapheonix says “ Trundle can be a bit difficult due to his healing ability and damage output. Since his heals are almost permanent and his ult ads even more I recommend taking Executioners calling early on as it cuts all of his healing by 40% for 3 whole seconds and every time you or a ghoul hits him it refreshes. You should take spirit visage this game as well to stay alive longer or grab death's dance to have safer duels vs him.”
