Years ago Trundle was one of the only melee counters to Darius top lane besides Fiora and Irelia (only 3 btw) but now after Stormraider Surge + Ghostblade + Swift boots, Trundle no longer wins vs Darius.

Trundle wins long trade but Darius can easily kite him out even with the crappier version of phase rush rune because Darius deals a million damage as a bruiser btw. Trundle Pillar, Q slow, and W is not enough to catch darius.

The Trundle has an option to pick Ghost which in theory would definitely help in gap closing onto Darius however Trundle would have to sacrifice Ignite vs Darius which is pretty rough.

If its Conqueror Darius and Grasp Darius, its ez like before but its pure one sided cancer now if its not these two runes.

Im a low elo Trundle Top Lane main who is trying to forfeit from playing Jayce.

Thanks in advance everyone
