So what is going on with Tristana, exactly?

I haven't touched her for more than an entire season by this point. I can only assume she is heavily outclassed by both lethality users and other scaling marksmen or something like that? I literally see her in 0-1 out of 100 games.

Basically her only advantage is how fast she kills towers. Her kit out side of that is clunky and easy to get caught out with. Also her abilities scale largely off of AP for some reason...

You can say the same about Ezreal but he seems in a better spot

Ezreal has spamable flash... That's pretty massive. Also his damage is better.

I meant the scaling on all of his abilities.. They all have mixed scalings but the ult and W have bigger ap ratios, no?

The more important thing is that he can apply Muramana proc on his abilities, and that gives him good damage.

She's receiving buffs because lethality builds aren't optimal on her. She's an objective taker as well as a reset bot. She has the extreme range late game to not need lethality to smash squishies. She just build crit and last whisper and melts anyone with just a little more time, and can continue the chase. She also has the best self peel in the game.

So, they're buffing her attack speed to bring her DPS up to par with the lethality abusers. Two seconds added on to rapid fire, which at 1.5-2.5 attack speed, is actually massivw. She will be better at taking objectives and her window of power has now been extended. I personally find her to be a sleeper because of how her laning phase is structured and how her late game is ridiculously broken. I think we will be seeing a lot of Tristana, especially once this buff rolls out and then they eventually scale down lethality a bit. Hopefully we won't see a repeat of Season 5 (4?) Tristana.

She just got buffed

Riot wrecked her champion identity with the remake and then got distracted by shinier things.
