The Tristana PBE changes, and why it's no bueno for AP Trist

I understand that AD Trist with her attack damage is stronger than she needs to be in the early levels. Good idea, yes, nerf her E. However, AP Trist needs that damage early-game in order to fight someone in the lane. Please give her E a little more AP scaling to make up for her damage loss early, mid, and late-game.

I don't want my baby nerfed just because one of her builds is too powerful. That's not fair. Nobody is complaining about AP Trist, so please don't nerf her.

Thank you.

Maybe her e is a little much?

I am not interested in off builds. I feel that makes champs to hard to balance. I am ok with gutting off kits.

AP Trist from my understanding already wrecks laning phase. Don't know why you would complain about a nerf. A 1.0 ratio on an ability with an already high base damage is just stupid, not to mention it (and her ult) is just point and click.

Also if you look at pretty much and other mage, their level 1 primary damage spell does around 60-80 damage, so a nerf to 80 on a point and click, 1.0, 700 range ability isn't much of a nerf.

Examples:

Cass Q 75 damage Annie Q 80 damage Akali Q (total) 80 damage Kass Q 80 damage

The only comparable spells I could find were Anivia's Q and E at 120 and 110, but Q is very very hard to hit in the first place (and you have to time it right to hit them twice) and E requires that they be chilled first (you must land a Q to chill that early).

Chickenwrap, she also gets her jump slow nerfed, do you think it would be impossible to kill enemy while being pre lvl 10 with jungler gank because slow is just that short?

Trist needs the nerf, if anything they should also nerf her AP on top of that. The problem with Tristana is that when she is built as an ADC she is one of the strongest ADC's fully built. And when she is built AP she can also be one of the strongest AP burst champs.

She has everything you want from an ADC AND from a Mid Laner. She has the Burst, she has the damage over time, she has the cooldown resets, she has to auto target skills that nuke. She has the attack speed buffs, the enormous auto attack range, the ability to jump very far to safety and she has a disengage nuke ultimate. That is just way too much mobility, buffs, range, burst, DPS, AoE Wave Clear, and Utility for someone who is supposed to have some risk involved.
