Playing against Tryndamere
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
Save a CC for when he activates R: during his 5s of immortality, a stun renders him useless.
Don't fight him when his rage bar is full: he has a high free crit chance.
Respect his level 6 power spike: he becomes unkillable for 5s, which changes everything in a 1v1.
Plated Steelcaps + Warden's Mail massively reduce his auto-attack damage.
