Lets talk about Tristana

I just want to hear some other opinions on Tristana's new rework. I played a lot of Tristana in the past and my first impression is that she has been nerfed. Her new E ability seems much more clunky than her old one. By this I mean the animation is very off and doesn't flow well with her auto attacks. Old Tristana could very smoothly weave an E between her auto attacks. Now there is an odd break because of the animation. As far as damage goes, the new E seems decent until about level 3. You can get some nice poke in while in lane, but by the time mid-late game roles around it seems almost useless. The rework page mentioned some cool potential plays of pressing E on the tank and ulting the tank into their team. The explosion radius is very small and the damage is very minute. The one positive is E on towers is very useful and a neat idea to finally use spells on a tower. As far as changes go, I think an increase in base damages would really help. I understand you can't scale her too hard because she is already such a late game champion. Currently, her E maxes at 4 charges. I would like to see the number of charges go up with each new level or perhaps the number of seconds to add additional chargers similar to Kalista. I have not tested AP Trist but I would imagine that was nerfed as well. My last thought is that removing grievous wounds was potentially the biggest nerf to her kit. That gave so much utility in 1v1's by lowering life steal and summoner heal.

TLDR: What are your thoughts on Tristana? I would just like to hear some healthy discussions!
