Could we get a physical damage dealing hybrid Disrupter Marksman?

We have a lot of Marksmen that loosely fit hybrid subclasses, classes, playstyles and roles, like Twitch -- Assassin, Corki -- Mage, Quinn -- Roam, etc. etc. What we don't have is a physical damage dealing Enchanter Marksman or the same for a Disrupter Marksman. So, for a future champion would you maybe consider making one?

OR (big or) would you maybe consider making Tristana more of a hybrid Disrupter? I know you don't like "I had a cool idea last night" inspirations, but ... I had a cool idea last night: E --> 2 charge system, skillshot, less invidiual damage, less max stacks, doesn't explode immediately at max stacks, sticks to first enemy or terrain hit, if terrain can be attacked by Tristana (with increased Attack Speed or Range to make it worth her while), MAYBE can be attacked by allies as well? (but they can only apply one stack? gives Janna something to do if she isn't busy, teamwork OP), bombs creates threat zones around target enemies or walls, bombs maybe slow? they would have to be adjusted to better fit this fantasy at any rate. It could also be a dodgeable targeted ability like Lucian's Q.

I mean, Tristana kind of lives in the shadow of Caitlyn right now so this could maybe give her a better role and fantasy.

Teemo is classified as a Disruptor, hybrid Marksman.

His shrooms are pretty great at causing chaos on the battlefield with a combination of CC and damage, which is what Disruptors are known for. He also has powerful ranged basic attacks, an essential feature of the Marksman class.

I know. But I'm asking for a Marksman hybrid Disrupter. So the champion would be a traditional Marksman in the sense that they're stat-bound to Critical Strike Chance, Attack Speed, and Attack Damage and mainly deal physical damage through basic attacks, but they would also have Disrupter qualities in their kit.

Oh, I see! Well, Tristana being reworked into a Marksman-Disruptor hybrid sounds like a cool concept and fits thematically. Though I feel any changes towards that end would need to ensure she doesn't become too good at sieging, as that's intended to be Caitlyn's niche. It would be a challenge, because Disruptors are naturally good at sieging due to their range and AoE cc/damage fields.

Would be a cool idea for Urgot rework since he kind of fits that theme a little bit himself, though obviously could be made better for it.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by disruptor. If you mean someone who can cc teams then varus could fit that description.

Some Marksmen already have Disrupter qualities: Varus' ult, Tristana's E on a tower, Corki's Delivery, and any traps; things that create threat zones in the battle field. I think it would be cool if we had a Marksman who specialized in that somewhat more.

Kalista is a Vanguard, which is pretty close to Disruptor.
