Wouldnt it make more sense if Tristana and Caitlyn switched passives?

I mean... Caitlyn is supposed to be a sniper, Tristana is supposed to be a Gunner.

Snipers are supposed to shoot from a very long distance and make every shot count. Gunners Shoot and shoot and shoot until they dont find anything else to shoot at.

Yet, Tristana gets Attack range when she gets stronger, Caitlyn gets a bonus when she shoots alot...

Shouldnt it be exactly the other way around, with Tristana getting a stronger hit after getting into a shooting frenzy, and Caitlyn getting more range as the game goes on?

I'd elect for a KogMaw Ziggs passive swap before this one, to be honest.

Was going to say the same thing. I also want Rumble to deal a little damage when he hits the ground after he dies too, but that would never happen.

While Kogs passive would make sense on Ziggs, Ziggs on Kog wouldnt.

Why would Kog Maw be a demolition anti-Building expert?

Ziggs passive is just do magic damage on aas every couple of seconds. His w is the anti tower actice.

His passive deals 200% damage to structures. Thats kinda the main use of the passive...

Warlord ScrapOct 6, 20171 votes

they could easily change it or make it so its like caits headshot and every few attacks do bonus magic damage

should be a easter egg tbh.

like 1 absolute dmg or something at the area he lands.

Giving Trist 2 stacking on hit effects is a bad idea plus Caitlyn's passive is intertwined with the rest of her kit.

heeelll no HHEEELLLLLL NOOOOOOOOO HHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEELLLLL NOOOOOOOOOOO as an adc main I FUCING DISAGREE WITH THIS SHIT WTFFFFFFF caitlyn is cancer enough in lane ( well used to be now he's kinda bad) but what I mean is if she had scaling range with the fucing 650 she already has there would be no laning against her, like literally she'd be able to poke from so far with no minion harass and even be able to kite an adc ( kiting in the sense of being able to auto an adc without the adc getting in range) like holy shit delete this thread riot might be dumb enough to read this shit and agree

You do realize swapping passive would mean you have to adjust both champions to their new passives, right?

GrievousFetusOct 6, 20171 votes

Or y'know giving her range per level justifies giving her lower starting range, because currently her "sniper" aesthetic demands she have outrageous range at all levels.

DurzakaOct 6, 20171 votes

uh, no it really wouldn't.

Tristana's shoot and shoot and shoot, as you called it, comes from her Q, not her passive.

Caitlyn's passive fits her perfectly. What does a sharpshooter want to hit? A headshot. They want precision. Caitlyn's sniper fantasy is there from the start with her high base range. If you switched passives, suddenly she would need a really low base range in order to compensate. And tristana would need an increase in base range because at 550 range, with her kit, there wouldnt be much reason to pick her.
