If Riot (probably) nerf they could nerf only her earlygame that is not bad as or .

Her passive/range

The range on Tristana's basic attacks, Explosive Shot.png Explosive Shot and Buster Shot.png Buster Shot is increased by 9 × (Tristana's level - 1). At level 18, the bonus is 153 (703 range total) (550 lvl 1 range) change to The range on Tristana's basic attacks, Explosive Shot.png Explosive Shot and Buster Shot.png Buster Shot is increased by 12 × (Tristana's level - 1). At level 18, the bonus is 204 (704 range total) (500 lvl1 range)

Her ultimate ultimate has 60s cooldown all ranks. Lets compare with other marksmen. 100/85/70s. 110/90/70s. 120/110/100s. 120/100/80s. 140/110/80s. 120/110/100s. 100/75/50s. 90/75/60s. 100/90/80s. 80s all ranks. 110/100/90. 90/75/60s. 100/9080s. ultimates are spamable/works in other way. ultimate is a single knockback (aoe if there other enemies near the target) used to escape, but she's already has rocket jump that resets on kill/assist. As a hipercarry shoudn't have a safe early game and her ultimate cooldown is too short. Ultimate cooldown change to 100/80/60s. (keeping the current cooldown lategame)

well worded and I fully agree Also isn't explosive shot one of the highest dmg abilities for a marksman lvl 1?

Her late game is completely oppressive.

...they just nerfed her early game last patch; took down the damage on her active explosive shot.

As already stated, they just nerfed her E (Explosive Shot) active with the last patch. As someone who plays her a lot, I can tell you that her early game is fairly weaker now, and she lost a lot of harass power (probably just enough, just need to play safer now.) As far as her ultimate goes, I rarely use that to get kills as it doesn't really do good damage unless you build AP. I mainly use it to insec people back into my team, or E+Ignite+R someone with low HP, when I also have low HP to get the kill.

While, yes, she has a fairly safe laning phase because of her W (Rocket Jump), she also has no AD scaling whatsoever on her abilities, which makes it hard for her to compete against a good Caitlyn player or a Kog or Corki.
