I want to play Tristana in rankeds again.
Please make her a hypercarry again, because at the moment she is just nothing. Mediocre early, mediocre midgame, medicore lategame, lowest base AS, no longer longest range, Jinxs pushes towers faster, jinx has more range, jinx has better early mid and lategame, jinx has similar resets, jinx has more lane presence. Yes , I used to be a Tristana Main, but now Im a jinx main, because she is what comes closest to her, and I actually want to climb in ranked. Tristana is really a huge victim of this ohhh it was played in lcs, its op stuff. Remember, you gave her very small buffs in early season 4, when her lategame potential was still huge. She was considered completely fine, actually rather weak. Then people started banning her, eventough she only had like 52% winrate. Jinx had 55% and no one ever said a word. And then this happened: v4.13 Tristana's W slows less at early ranks but more at max rank. E does less damage (especially at early levels). W - Rocket Jump SLOW DURATION: 2.5 seconds at all levels ⇒ 1/1.5/2/2.5/3 seconds E - Explosive Shot ACTIVE MAGIC DAMAGE: 110/150/190/230/270 ⇒ 80/125/170/215/260 v4.17 R - Buster Shot COOLDOWN: 60 seconds at all ranks ⇒ 100/85/70 seconds v4.18 General ATTACK SPEED PER LEVEL: +4% per level ⇒ +2.5% per level Q: DURATION: 7 seconds ⇒ 5 seconds BONUS ATTACK SPEED: Now gives 30/45/60/75/90% attack speed ⇒ 30/50/70/90/110% attack speed
Then the rework: Attackspeed per Level nerfed even more to 1.5% Range per Level nerfed. (just why, its her identity) Removed her Grevious wounds on e which is actually great in botlane all ins.
Gave her some Towerpushing abilities and added a mechanic to her w which actually says you should jump into the fight. Who does that on a adc???
So do all those nerfs really feel justified? To me it's like the biggest pack of nerfs I've ever seen to a champion who has been considered balanced for a long long time. You literally nerfed EVERY SINGLE SPELL INCLUDING PASSIVE AND BASE STATS.!!! You said in some context to the jinx nerfs, that a champion like jinx, which is good in teamfights and towerdestruction should have a winrate of 50% or higher. To me Tristana is very similar to jinx, she should be a more mobile version, with less aoe and weaker early game, but she should be very strong late. Right now Trist has the lowest winrate of all ADCs, even though her mechanics are very simple, and she should actually do well in this tank meta, because old trist used to be a tank shredder with the huge range and attackspeed, which is now gone. Please give her more Attackspeed and the revert the Range changes, it feels so slow motion AAing with her...
Your former Tristana Main.
