Tristana's E interaction with crit

Adalvar·3/25/2015, 11:34:41 AM·6 votes·1,658 views

So i checked the PBE patch notes and it noted that Trist's E, Explosive Charge's active damage now scales with 75% of her Crit Change. Is this a flat damage increase? (As in if i have 55% crit chance from IE/PD each stack deals 41, 25 extra damage) Or is it a multiplicative one? (Assuming again 55% crit chance from IE/PD that the total damage is increased in 41,25%). If a Rioter could answer that, that would be awesome.

Also in one of your massive Q&A a few months back a few Rioters mentioned in a conversation to one of my question how you guys had a plan to create interactions in ADC's kits with Critical Strike mechanics and i'm wondering if these Trist changes are perhaps a dry run at that goal. Again if a Rioter could respond to this, i would be so very, very happy.

I'm surprised no one is paying any attention to this. Granted this wont go live for about a month, but its a pretty big change. with around 300 ad and a full charge she can get up to around 1200 in an AOE. Even if its not likely she'll be able to stack it on a single champ, the bonus damage to towers is considerable. Ive been relatively unimpressed with trist since her kit rework, but I have to admit this change might make me pick her up again.

Note: the way they worded it it sounds multiplicative with e damage but im not sure atm

I like it.

It adds power to a damaging abilities on an ADC which, lest be honest, become less and less relevant as the game goes on.

Seems like they reverted it
