Olaf and Ambessa were his toughest matchups, Ambessa on a small sample.

Avoid extended fights — its sustain grows with every trade it survives
Build percentage damage — flat penetration falls off against the stats it stacks
Punish the cooldown — Trundle is exposed while its rotation is down
Ward the flank — vision is what turns its best opening into a worse one
Respect the spike — Riot rates the kit 5/10, so a practised player gets more out of it than the average

Riot's notes from patch 25.S1.1 to 26.20 change Trundle in 4 patches. The latest is patch 26.17, published 2026-08-25.
WFrozen Domain
Sometimes you just wanna club your opponents to death, and while Trundle has been a resilient utility pick for his pillar and ult, we feel his personal clubbing power has actually been a bit limp.
Base Stats
Trundle's doing very poorly in both of his main roles and as a very straightforward champion should be much more successful than he is now. We want to make sure he's good at playing the role of the front-line juggernaut who's great at tank-busting, so we're playing up his late game sustained damage output and resilience
WFrozen Domain
Trundle is pummeling all other junglers at all ranks in addition to being highly prevalent in pro play, so we need to take some power out of his direct combat potential. Frozen Domain is going up in cooldown to create clearer windows when you can and can’t fight him, alongside a tap down to his attack speed increase per rank.
EPillar of Ice
: Trundle has received a lot of changes that skewed him towards lower MMR, and we don't believe he needs to be so skewed. Bringing back some of his pillar power to buff up the most skilled troll players.
Riot's data lists 9 looks for Trundle with their own art, the base skin included and 21 chroma variants.

Riot Data Dragon 16.20.1. Growth curve: League of Legends Wiki — Champion statistic.
Trundle, the Troll King, is a Fighter and Tank champion in League of Legends. Riot rates the kit 5/10 for difficulty, 7/10 for attack, 6/10 for defense and 2/10 for magic. Trundle spends Mana and has 9 skins with their own art.
Trundle is a hulking and devious troll with a particularly vicious streak, and there is nothing he cannot bludgeon into submission—not even the Freljord itself. Fiercely territorial, he chases down anyone foolish enough to enter his domain. Then, his massive club of True Ice at the ready, he chills his enemies to the bone and impales them with jagged, frozen pillars, laughing as they bleed out onto the tundra.
