I’m confused.

I was playing taric and at this point of the game I had 156 armor and around 93 magic resist. In team fights I would sometimes get caught in Brand’s or Ahri’s CC and they would use all their abilities on me and yet I would survive using my heals and shields but the enemy Tristana would take me from full health to 200 health in just 5 auto attacks. A single E plus those 5 auto attacks guaranteed my death no matter how many heals and shields I used.

I tried to ult once they started attacking me. I could survive long enough from Brand and Ahri’s combos for my ult to activate but yet I could never get my ult to activate in time to save myself from just Tristana’s auto attacks, not including E or Q. At this time in the game Tristana had Stormrazor, Berserker’s Greaves, RFC, and Statik Shiv.

So my question is how was she able to deal so much damage despite her lack of damage items? Yes she had a lot of attack speed but she had little attack damage so how do I die in a few hits? Why is it that a champion that’s supposed to deal sustained damage deals more burst damage than Ahri or Brand? Especially when I had much more armor than magic resist.
