What is it? I know that she has her W reset, but besides that she doesn't have much. As far as dealing AoE damage, she is out done by several others like Jinx, Twitch, and even Sivir. The only thing I can think of is her tower busting capabilities, but all ADCs have amazing tower busting capabilities so it's not too shiny.

Limmie1 votesShe's a mobile, tower busting hypercarry. Yeah, those adcs may do better at teamfights but they don't have the mobility and self peel Tristana has. She's also better at contested tower killing than Jinx.
Bonipherus1 votes"When talking about identities, Tristana's always had trouble finding her niche. With elements of a caster, siege-expert and hyper-carry all in one, we're focusing her further towards all-in combat. Trist demands full commitment to fights, but constant resets offer her serious rewards for being the daring yordle gunner she's always been". -Riot patch 5.22
She needs an actual identity for jumping into or around fights but to do that you'd have to make her kit work so her W rewards her more for going into a fight with her jump rather than out of a fight. Her W is currently a 1 point wonder.
Astôlfo1 votesIsn't she one of the fastest tower killers in early?
Geshultz1 votesBest way to explain her kit is that it currently is hyper carry kit with strong tower pushing ability. Reason why I said hyper carry is because her kit allows for reset able gap closer and having self peel in her ultimate. Well also having high Attack speed steriod/ E steriod that are good for taking towers and doing some damage during fights. Well also still being able to clean up fights. Making her kit a safe hyper carry late game that is decent at sieges.
midnight oil241 votesshe's fun to play, and while she isn't as flashy, she's more of a looks small but has major impact champ
cope moment1 votesshe's better at deleting turrets than most every other ADC, but simply has been forgotten due to Jinx becoming much more popular at the late game hyper carry role.
MunchCrunchLunch1 votesjinx is pretty close and she has higher dps.
MunchCrunchLunch1 votescurrently tristana is bottom tier adc. she isn't as bad as kalista. but tristana. doesn't have much . in a damage meta. any adc just clicks 3-4 autos and kills a squishie. tristana was good last season because nobody did obscene amounts of damage. she had time to stack her bombs on you. now she hits E. vayne tumbles once / twice and kills her. she kills turrets fast. but so does anyone nowdays. she scales with items. she doesn't really have any synergy with any team comps. or any items. like twitch runnans with ult or caitlyn runnans or ezreal and triforce. and she doesn't have true damage like vayne or aoe crits like jinx. she has nothing special in her kit rather than being a fairly well rounded adc that does a lot of things but nothing exceptionally.
