Tryndamere Jungle build for patch 16.11, generated from current-patch ranked Emerald+ games. Below: comp-aware build path, runes, top 10 bans for the matchup, and how Tryndamere wins.
Tryndamere is an AD melee carry in the jungle, and on patch 16.11 they grade out as a situational pick — a 50.9% win rate, 0.2% pick rate, 2,223 ranked games sampled. On the power curve, Tryndamere is a scaling champion: comparatively weak early, but one of the strongest picks on the map once core items come online — so the plan is to survive the laning phase and take the game over late.
How Tryndamere wins: splitpushing a side lane and forcing the enemy to answer it, and winning the wave and turning push priority into map control. The kit grades 10/10 split-push, 7/10 waveclear. Tryndamere's soft spots are roaming and siege (3/10, 3/10) — avoid fights that hinge on them.
