Playing against Tryndamere

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

1

Save a CC for when he activates R: during his 5s of immortality, a stun renders him useless.

2

Don't fight him when his rage bar is full: he has a high free crit chance.

3

Respect his level 6 power spike: he becomes unkillable for 5s, which changes everything in a 1v1.

4

Plated Steelcaps + Warden's Mail massively reduce his auto-attack damage.
