AP or AD Tristana?

It used to be strong, but Riot like to say they are open to alternative champion play style, but do everything they can to enforce their meta and punish you if you break it.

tristana's primarily and adc, played in the bot lane with a support

AP Tristana... really isn't a thing anymore. Well, not a great thing after the rework. Riot payed some lip service to keeping alternate builds around but didn't really.

Ad. A shiv and as boots plus max q gives about max as right there. Build an ie and essence reaver and your crits will hurt and there will be a lot of them.

AP is a fun thing, but AD is definitly more "viable"

AD might be more viable but AP certainly does a **** a lot more damage, her AP scaling are far better. She has 0..yes...0 AD scalings. If built right her ult can nearly 1 hit. I have experience with AP trist as that's the only route I play her. Funny thing is: I don't get flamed for it, because it works.

It used to be viable when her E applied a DoT. Then you could just poke poke poke and then all in with W and R.

Scaling ad and ap runes, build mostly ad then get hextech gun blade, and if your feeling it get rage blade

Neither. Tristana is trash atm.
