The State of Tristana: Thoughts?

Hey guys! Long-time Tristana main here, although I haven't really gotten much of a chance to take her for a spin in Season 6 yet (too busy exploring my lesser-used carries).

That said, my initial impression is that, on paper, Trist has lost some of the late-game hyper-carry potential that traditionally defined her in favor of boosting her other defining role: that of an early-game AD caster. Which is odd, since I'm not sure the changes push her far enough in that direction.

To those who have played her significantly: is this a correct assessment? Does Tristana currently have a defined role and playstyle, or does she indeed feel caught between hyper-carry and AD-caster?

Also a Tristana main here. She is still kind of caught between hyper-carry and ad-caster. A lot of the time in teamfights your going to be jumping in and out everywhere in the fight. I think her identity is a lot more defined now and what I mean by that is you will have to go in and out of teamfights successfully in order to do a lot of damage. The change on her E helps out a lot with her jump because when you fully stack it, it makes it so that rocket jump is off cd and then you have another chance to jump in or out. I honestly love the changes they've been doing to her in the past year. She's been a lot more fun to play as opposed to her pre rework. Tristana [slayer-jinx-wink]
