Thoughts on Tristana's current state?

SkellyTM·Mar 16, 2016·3 votes·613 views

I'm an avid Tristana main and I feel she is just a bit week atm with her kit forcing you to 'dive' in order to get damage or trades off. I was just wondering if there were any plans on rebalancing her anytime soon or something along those lines. Also wanting to know the opinion from others as I myself am not very good at the game so I could be wrong.

I understand that the season isn't the best for her as her counters are currently really good but like I said before, just wondering.

I think she does what Riot feels she's supposed to do (wreck turrets, risky resets, late game monster). She doesn't feel particularly weak to me.

What I don't like is Riot has squeezed every ADC into a particular "unique" role that makes them feel less flexible than they were before. Tristana suffers a little bit because of this, since the more fast-burst ADCs are popular right now. She may still need a little tweaking, but she isn't super weak or anything.

That's kinda what I'm getting at, shes not super weak but I fell like she needs tweeking, kinda like they are doing with Ori.

i feel like as playing trist a bit before, she isnt weak but she also isnt particularly strong

she is an all in kind of adc but she can do alot from far away since she has quite large range frankly

i play her as a tower pusher and then when i am ganked i save my jump as long as possible and just laugh when they try to cc me and i just dodge shit lmao

Having Tristana as my 2nd main of the list, I think she could use something more. Because her mechanics are pretty much E an enemy, 4 hits for the bomb to explode then you just become a point and click champ with nothing left but a jump to safety and an ult to disengage.

Because her kit seems more into split pushing than actual team fighting, she can't seen to do much at the moment, and even if slightly fed, sometimes I end up losing 1v1 battles against an underfed adc.

I think she could use something more team fight worthy because most of the time, split pushing is frowned upon if you have little to nothing to stop you from getting caught.
