@Riot Meddler Will Tristana ever recieve any buffs?

It feels as if she is very irrelevant in the game until like 45 minutes in, she just deals too little damage in the midgame.

She is is a balanced spot Compared to other broken adc ( Lucian , Jhin , Ezreal , and Jinx ) she is weak

She's perfectly fine where she's at... She's a farm fest champ with the highest push potential.

I feel that caitlyn already does that job extremely more effective and just as safe as tristana with an equal late game and a way stronger early game compared to tristana. I would also say that tristana needs a niche more then anything because she honestly doesn't have one that another adc doesn't just do better. As tristana shares a niche with jinx and caitlyn.

When picking trist, you pick her because she can do everything an ADC is supposed to do while being safe. You just require more patience with her due to her slow scaling. As for the comparison of jinx and cait; the problem isn't fixed by buffing Tristana. It's fixed by adjusting the 2 champs you just mentioned. If Riot keeps buffing champs because other champs are considered "God tier" then the cycle will continue and then Trist becomes "God Tier" and thenbeveryone would use her and then she becomes a problem and requires a nerf. And then she would become the next Kallista: Unusable. Tristana isn't the only champ who's hurt by the other adc's you've mentioned. Draven, Vayne, Varus. Kindred, Kallista, Kog'Maw, Corki, Urgot have all been hurt by riot's bad balancing decisions and some of them deserve far more attention than Tristana. My personal opinion: the most balanced ADC's right now are Draven, Vayne, Lucian, Tristana, Sivir; they do what they're meant to do. The rest are either under powered or over powered right now.

Tristana doesnt seem balanced to me. It seems as if her numbers are too low but she is a jack of all trades. She has everything an ADC wants but she just does the job horrible incomparison with other adcs niches.

Without comparing Tristana to god tier ADC's, compared to who?

Sivir pushes better and her tower taking is almost as good as Tris (Though the turrets are paper thin anyways, it doesn't really matter)

Caitlyn sieges better and her range is better seeing as tristana needs to get at least level 16 to only SLIGHTLY outrange her.

Ashe (idk if she is still God tier, correct me) Brings more utility and CC.

Lucians mobility & burst is better.

Twitch has a much better DPS and has a much easier time in the midgame. Also he has more AOE.

Vayne is more slippery and is a better duelist.

Vayne is supposed to be a better duelist than Trist. She's a better duelist than most adcs and the longer the game goes, the truer this become. As well Trist is a better at siege and has AOE dmg that Vayne does not. She is single target. Caitlyn right now is considered God tier and so is Ashe so they're invalid. Lucian is also a duelist and late game Trist supercedes Lucian hard in both burst and siege. Twitch does not have an easier time getting in to mid game,if you find him easier than play him but he's far more difficult, and far less safe of pick. Trist can also Outpush him as well.

How are cait & ashe god tiers? Wasnt Cait like surpressed by Jinx or something? and ashe nerfed too heavily?

But that is exactly what I mean dude, it takes too long for Tris to shine unless she is fed. That is why Lucian is a better pick atm

I said he has an easier time in the midgame not getting there. He deals more dmg simpy.

Just because Jinx hit the spotlight doesn't mean Ashe and Cait were removed. It means somebody was added to the tier. I simply saw an adjustment made nothing. And let's say she isn't god tier. It the end, it doesn't change much, Trist still does her job better than Ashe and she out scales her.

When you pick Trist, you're not picking her because you plan on having duels with people. With Lucian, that's exactly what you plan on doing. Pick fights. Trist just wants to farm and push towers. And in team fights, well just push E and Q and deal too much dmg for no reason, and chain jump kill after kill. Trist literally does EXACTLY what she is supposed to do. If you give her a strong Lucian beginning then you add her to God tier and then there is another broken ADC, but with far more pushing power than all the rest of the adc's that are presently there. She is purely a push goddess, nobody in the game that I know, can push faster than Trist. During team fights, as well, I'd prefer a Trist over a Lucian any day. Now if you want to compare her to Twitch to team fights, realize one thing, Twitch does exactly what he is supposed to do as well. If you're looking for an ADC that is end all team fights, you're right Trist isn't the best for this job. She can remove a towers faster than any other champion in the game all while bringing a lot of dmg potential during team fights, but she will not supersede all other adcs during teamfights because some are just better than Trist for this particular job. If that's what you're looking for, perhaps you should pick a different champ to main. She is fully capable of doing it, but she isn't the best at it and nor should she.

Personally, I've never had a problem with Trist. She is very straight forward and easy to play and exceptionally safe. And when I've played her, I've always found her rocket jump to be overpowered due to it's reset but that's a personal opinion. If it helps, just rush Bf sword then runaans hurricane and boots of swiftess and finish your Infinity edge all while focusing on objectives. Her power comes pretty quick if you focus on objectives. And in terms of early laning phase, Trist is super safe, just ward, and force minions wave under enemy tower. If jg comes for you, you're wasting his time because you can just jump out. Unless they're MF or Draven, they will have difficulties farming underneath tower and will expend mana to do this. With a little patience, you can easily out duel them if you play it smart. Or, in some case, go to base and come back. A lot of times they stay and farm to catch up; get your jg to gank. Voila. Kills and you take a tower + Dragon.

Overall I feel that tristana should be pushed back into her old niche but reworked to be weaker early game stronger mid game and stronger late game. That way she fills in a niche as the safest hyper carry lategame. Even if it means nerfing/buffing other stats reworking abilities et ceteria. I feel that it fits her character better as someone who is safe at doing dangerous plays towards the late game compared to other champions and having a great chance to succeeded.
