Gwen vs Trundle Counter Pick

124 games is a thin sample by any measure, so the 55.7% Gwen posts on patch 16.13.1 should be read as a lean rather than a law. The direction is defensible. Subjugate steals a percentage of health, armor and magic resistance over four seconds, which is devastating against champions who convert resistances into damage, and Gwen is not one of them. A Thousand Cuts scales with the target’s health, so stripping her armor does not reduce what she does to Trundle.

The early lane still belongs to him. He attacks from 175 range to Gwen’s 150, opens with 68 attack damage to 63, moves at 350 against 340, and Chomp saps attack damage alongside its brief slow. King’s Tribute heals him for a percentage of maximum health whenever a nearby unit dies, which makes minion trades cheap for him and costly for her. Gwen’s route runs through two abilities. Hallowed Mist makes her untargetable from outside, stripping Trundle of the extended trade he needs, and Skip ‘n Slash grants attack speed, attack range and on-hit magic damage — the window where percentage damage accumulates. Pillar of Ice answers that window with impassable terrain, so the dash is better saved until it has been spent. Gwen also holds 2,575 health at level 18 to 2,520 and 122.3 armor to 113.5.
