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 Caitlyn or Jhin 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.

I disagree, Trist can clear minions as easily as cait and jhin.

"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."

If she E's the minion wave she will be harassed and traded on easily, if she drops it on an enemy than she loses her wave clear potential. The amount of minion damage Trist may take makes it a un win able battle in lane. She used to rush IE which gave her the burst needed, but now she rushes attack speed to try and match their wave pushing.

Trist and Cait both are horrible at clearing waves early. Trist has the advantage of e passive.

Early. Which while she isn't terrible at it, it will cost a lot of mana

AP Tristana is what your looking for. Her bonbs + Ult with full stacks will 1-shot any ADC, and out CS any bottom laner hands down. But you should be Support playing Tristana, thought every knew this.

She is short ranged, like Urgot Was before his rework, and BOTH are known to be terible AD Carries...

Along with whats above, Your not gimped, you get a free Rocket jump when complete stacks are full completed, you can technically jump all over the map back and forth.

Funnest and deadliest cahmpion i ever played ranged with. The fun never stopped, once you figure out Rocket Jump + Ult Stacks + more (E) , its non-stop when combo'Ditem 3115 item 3124 item 3094 list goes on.

Bombs rely on AP ;) everything else is AD, very confusing, very Disliked, VERY VERY aurgumentive, and a whole new topic. Trista Mains, will eat a Novice ADC any day.

Not Gimped, and they proved she can also Jungle, not the best jungler, but its now a playable slot, Hey hey, what did you say, Can It Jungle, YOUTUBE.com League

Tristana is a counter to Caitlyn...so idk what you're talking about. Tristana has great wave clear w/ E passive and active, if anything she pushes wave hard so she opens herself up to ganks. The two champs you're mentioning really don't do much to stop Trist if the player is safe, farms or is ahead. And no I'm pretty sure most people rush IE, then 2 Zeal items. I usually go IE>RFC>Shiv. Tristana like Jinx is a hyper carry they scale well into late game, again idk what you're suggesting in Trist not having any presence when she's one of the current meta ADCs both in the LCS and SoloQ.
