@Riot, Good job on the Tristana Gameplay Update

I started playing Tristana these past two days. Prior to that, I played her before the update, seldomly at that.

Thematically, she's a lot more interesting, her soldier persona is rich and interesting, while old Tristana had a stale, bland character.

Gameplay, I enjoy the new Explosive Shot and how her abilities interact with each other and with her auto attacks. Using the updated kit feels like a bit of a game, where I have to remember how many auto attacks I've stacked on my Explosive Shot, how that's going to affect the power of my Rocket Jump, and keeping track of the cooldown reductions for Q and E when working in conjunction.

I like how she can still be played AD or AP, is a strong tower pusher, and has meaningful choices to make for fights while being rewarded for whichever choice she makes. In my opinion, Tristana having AP ratios on her spells makes her about the only Marksman who can viably build Zhonya's Hourglass in the mid-late game for the times in which Guardian Angel doesn't protect you in the right way.

Overall, good job Champion Update team. I love it.

I don't like how low counterplay her E is when cast on a turret. Why does it have to do more vs turrets?

It doesn't deal more damage to turrets. It just has a larger detonation radius

Her Attack speed is one the worst of any ADC, Urgot and Sivir have better AS than Trist. The rework is poor because Riot took away all Trist's attack speed.
