Was wondering how trundle is. I'm looking for a new top champ and have been wondering about him for some time.

play him on free week, he's not most people's cup of tea.

He is good, he's super tanky, can 1v1 most ad melees, but his skills might seem limited, or "not so fancy". His ability to damage is really to but his autoattacks and his little bite. Sure his very underwhelming ult steals a little hp, and buffs you for 6 seconds, all his abilities are there to really to help his melee autoattacks(and his bite which just replaces the next autoattack). The big ole column is fun to play with, but it does no damage, and half the time is just used as a deterent. If smash, smash and more smash sounds like fun, trundle might be up your alley.

His jungle ganks usually require some assistance, and is not as assured as say skarner who has a kill button. He has the ability to be scary all game long as an ad melee counter, but he does suffer a bit after the 45 minute mark when his bite is worth less and less.

I would stay Trundle is only good for higher level play. He's a ridiculously good counter jungler and can invade easily while remaining safe himself, but in lower level play this isn't usually a big part of the game.

The problem with Trundle is that he doesn't do enough damage early game to secure kills ganking and even into early-mid game he can often be a non-factor in team fights. This means that you're going to have to rely on your laners to help you kill during ganks and in early team fights you're best play is just to be a nuisance with pillar and try and stay on their carry.
