Tristana still super strong

PatMcGroyn··2 votes·561 views

Surprise, a champion with lvl 18 700+ aa range, healing reduction, a resetting jump, a huge atk spd steroid, and a (potentially) multi target knockback is still strong as fuck. I'm just laughing at all the meta whores who thought Trist was somehow less godly from her "nerfs."

Yeah Tristana's strong at level 18. She scales hard into late game. That's kinda her thing.

You're basically saying the equivalent of "Renekton keeps bullying me out of lane Rito pls nerf" even though he's trash after 20 minutes. The difference being Trist gets shat on early by - you guessed it - early/mid game ADC's. Corki, Lucian, etc.

Champs have their niches. Tristana is supposed to be "the" late-game carry (pretty evenly tied with Kog'maw). What I will agree with is she's a bit too safe, at least with Kog you have to have your team peel for you. But she's not OP, she just does her intended job very well.

If Renek is trash at 20 minutes, then that's a shitty Renekton player. Renek is one of the best dragon area teamfighting top laners in the game. His huge tankiness and base damage make him a beast at that stage of the game, especially if he did well in his lane, as he should have.

Renek isn't great at 40+ minutes, but he's not terrible, either. People just build him full tank, and expect results. Renek is actually a lot better as a split pusher/ off tank in the mid - late game. You build 1-2 damage items, push out waves really fast, and should be ahead enough in gold to be duel most anyone they throw at you.

she's strong if you consider having absolutely zero game presence for the first 25 minutes acceptable

considering how games typically start snowballing around the first or second dragon fight and there isn't a whole lot of coming back right now, she's not that great in my opinion.
