In Regards To Tristana's Nerf

"Reducing some of her safety in particular would help a bunch and that's one of the things we'll be looking at in 8.5." - Meddler

Why cant Riot just fix Trist's W so snares actually snare her? Make it a channel ability that has her hop after the channel finishes. CC that stops movement or breaks channels would cancel it.

It's her W making her not have enough weaknesses because it goes off even when she's Snared, Rooted, Silenced, Grounded, and Supressed even though those things are suppose to stop such abilities. Hit her safety where it actually needs hit.

QOL balance > nerfing numbers QOL has actual impacts on the game as opposed to a slightly longer ult cooldown.
