Let's not forget that most pro players problaly knows more about what's balanced thant he developers themselves because they actually play the game at highest level.
Ofcourse this only applies if you're looking to balance the game around the highest levels of play, which Riot really should be interested in seeing as they're trying to make a big eSport around it.

Ok, so you've played alot of games.
Do you know how uncommon ice trolls are in video games? Forest trolls are by far the most common (the green/blue skinned types, wearing decorative skulls).
I found this hard to believe at first, since in human culture, Ice Trolls are the only trolls that "exist" in mythology (norse mythology).
2.
It's not my opinion what I stated there.
Riot fixed trundle because they believed he needed it.
That's more their opinion and that they actually did it is a fact.
So if anything I'm actually waving a fact around like a flag.
3.
Just because you "read" something that isn't there doesn't mean I said (typed) it.
I know Riot isn't flawless (I for one hated Zac at launch).
I'm just saying that they're a gaming company (broad term) and they probably know better than most of us here.
Being a developer myself I know how much work goes into making things the way you want it to, and I'd like to praise Riot for making LoL this good.

% damage is probably more noticable now since health stacking is the most viable way of becoming tanky right now, and % health damage counters that easily.

Trundle was fine before, not OP - slightly shaded to the UP side of all characters. If you argue differently, you are either being naive or just ignorant. His usage rate was 0% in any of the league championship series(NEVER USED EVER), and was one of the least played characters in the game. You can pull some weird BS like "he wasn't appeasing to the eye so people didn't use him" but legit- i could draw a giant dick and if he was a strong toon pro's would use him.
Trundle was slightly UP, and rarely used- so they buffed him and gave him necessary QoL changes. As far as the art part, that stinks i still love my original skin way more but thats just my opinion.
Thank you for taking my post and changing it to fit your needs.
Now the proper quote:
"Champions have always been OP at release, probably so they sell better."
Notice the "probably" after the comma? As I said, an observation, not an explanation and certainly not a fact.
Sure I'm probably wrong about the "always been OP at release", but most of the recent champions have been, and the next few probably will be too.

Champions have always been OP at release (say this as a fact), problaly so they sell better (say this as if you think the reason they're OP is because they sell better).
I'm fairly sure I'm not alone at interpreting it this way.

I'm gonna go ahead and quote the exact words where you're being opinionated and not stating facts.
If you were intending to quote Riot on this issue then it is of my opinion that this could've been more clear.now he gets fixed (yes, fixed)
And just because you didn't intend something doesn't mean your wording doesn't imply it.
Personally I'd say there is no need to praise Riot directly. I will praise decisions I think are good and I will criticize decisions I think are bad. Who made these decisions has nothing to do with it. I can't entirely disclude bias but then again, who can?
And I'd say changing champions because of trends (á la Sejuani's new %health damage) is dumb.
Saying "because it problaly sells better" is pretty much the exact same thing as I said in my former post.
I did read the entire comment, but that statement was made after I'd already made a response. You just changed your mind after I'd called you out on it.
Anyways, ridiculous arguing about such things.
The amount of bickering in here is too damn high
Can someone tell me HOW TO BUILD JUNGLE EVE DAMMIT
Spirit stone,
Boots of run really fast
Spell Vamp or True Damage upgrade (either works)
Locket
More wards.
Would go 21/9 since she's an assassin and you want the damage in. Hybrid Pen if you can afford it, Armour Yellows, MR/Level blues, AP or MS quints.
I like the way Trundle feels now, and it's pretty nice playing him now, with the knowledge I gained playing him pre-rework. He still kind of sucks in a lot of match ups, but pissing off lanes because you refuse to die all the time is nice.
<-- That is otterly adorable.
Don't know if it was posted or not,but there's some sort of new teaser:

That winged guy reminds me of some sort of demonic version of Kayle(wings,sword and stuff).
