Tristana's jump: speed it up a bit or lower mana cost by 5-10?

I feel like Trist has such a low pick rate right now because of her early laning phase that maybe it would be good to increase the speed of her jump animation or lower the mana on her jump by 5-10. After you jump in and out, you have already used a large chunk of ur mana and are vulnerable for a long time after or forced to back if the enemy jungler is constantly present bottom side of the map.

Jumping to charge her bomb and then jumping out or jumping to get a kill the jumping out is part of her combo. You will be bullied out of lane if you don't get a little aggressive so I think maybe doing one of these two things (or maybe both) could be helpful.

What do you think?

I think it's just ADCs sucking in general, especially ones who rely on crit like Tristana. As much as it may not seem related, the reason they aren't buffing crit is because a certain skirmisher who shall go unnamed would benefit too much from them (the guy has two passives, just ditch the crit one. Fite me).

When it comes to Tristana herself, she excels when you successfully play reckless. A support that can easily dive in with you (Rakan is far better a pick than Nami with Trist) helps significantly when trying to win with Tristana. On the other hand, a support that can easily prevent Tristana from jumping is a menace to behold and you generally want to get item 3140 into item 3139 when laning against such. The last tip is that you should pick the best time to dive and make sure your support can follow up easily, leaping right into the enemy when they're full hp and your support is way behind you is a death wish.
