Nerf Dragon Trainer Tristana

Cause holy crap the death animation is heavy.

Wouldnt be as bad if the dragon flew away after she went down, but no, he curls up next to the corpse of his brutally slain companion in complete denial, or perhaps due to being too young to understand the concept of death.

I should be able to kill things over and over without being forced to think about the real world consequences of death and violence!

It's brutal... and as an assassin main, it's my job to do this stuff. It's brutal, especially as a dragon lover.

At least your job is to get the fuck out before you see the full animation.

But... I main Diana and Vi! (both assassins (kinda, I build Vi assassin), but with no escapes)

Edit: But thank the gods for Stormraiders Surge. Now I have a chance...

Really Riot, for me having pets this thing is horrendous and unbearable to see and I guess anyother pet owner can agree that is something you would never want to see. There is still time to make it sort of "funny" maybe and make the dragon cub lay on his back tognue out and X.X expression.

Thing is... they're not even slaying the dragon, just the dragon's trainers(Tristana Lulu). o.O

yeah, i agree anyone with a heart couldn't bring themselves to kill a dragon trainer tristana after seeing that death animation, who said skins don't give advantages.

I personally hate seeing dragons as pets to humans/yordles, and find Riggle to be a disgrace, so I'm going to enjoy slaughtering them with my main, Renekton .

They should let us kick the baby dragon by running over him tbh.

If that little shit is allowed to shoot at me al game, i should be able to get vengeance.

I'm pretty sure its a reference to Lion King. When Mufasa dies, Simba goes next to him and curls up. Remember?

Think about it the other way: it is actually nerf to Tristana if she is facing a maniacal sociopathic psychopath who feels joy when inflicting pain and suffering to the others. If you were maniacal sociopathic psychopath like this, wouldn't you feel joy and accomplishment just by looking at this dragon lying down by the dead body of it's companion?

As a dedicated Renekton main, I personally look forward to slaughtering Tristana and watch her dragon curl up like the filth it is next to her corpse.

I know as a gamer these things don't bother me a lot and I feel a little tempted to say: Don't worry it's just a game, but even I feel a little bit over the D.A when you kill Dragon trainer Thristana.

BansheeSorceress1 votes

No it just Teemo's delusion of his self fed fantasy along with his fanbase that he is something deadly. In reality hes just a lab rat waiting to die in a cage.

PS Ironically I never had issues with Teemo, not to the extent people rage/rave about him anyways. Okay he blinds and his mushrooms hurt... I guess I caught on fast how to deal with him? shrugs

Anidan1 votes

Nah, the hate flung his way is mostly just meme-status at this point. He's nowhere near as bad as forum posts make him out to be, and pretty much everyone knows it. I mean, when Riot comes out and makes Gnar then Teemo can't really hold a candle of obnoxious in top lane, and in middle lane he doesn't compare to the assassins you have to deal with.

He's easy, but he can be effective when used well in solo queue. Since he's easy, though, his 'used well' can mean a lot less effort than a lot of other champions. It's simply frustrating is all.

"I should be able to kill things over and over without being forced to think about the real world consequences of death and violence!" It should be kept. The fact that an animation made you think about actual consequences of actions (in-game or otherwise) is good.
