Tristana's gimped by her ability to take towers.
When we think reduced armor on bot turrets and Tristana's split pushing power it would seem like a powerful choice, however her pressure on minions can't be matched by champions like
or
thus unless she built a shiv she can't match it without putting herself in auto attack range which she would have to stack with her E. This puts her in a awkward spot as her ability to fight back is limited. Her Ultimate was something I've been trying to gather data on, but nobody can give me an accurate reason as to why other champions like lee sin, vi, orianna, can hit multiple targets causing additional collision damage to units, but Tristana's ult does 0 damage to anyone they've collided too. The only thing it offers is a proc for her E so you would ult and auto so it would detonate once pushed out of the way. That's alot of damage to cut out of a champion. Would it make her to strong though? In a game where your preying to get to late game so you can offer something for your team, but games end in 20-25 minutes it would offer her a way to compete with the burst that some of these marksman have today.
Overall with her kit the way it is she suffers the same fate of nidalee that her kit although strong she couldn't assassinate as efficiently and that made her less of a threat. Unless it's urf.
Not to be a voice of reason, just a question if she should be balanced as a late game champion in the meta we live in today.
list goes on.
