Tristana E passive hurts her more than benefits

MunchCrunchLunch·Dec 12, 2016·4 votes·845 views

she can't freeze lane effectively with that passive and there is no reason for it at all. tristana isn't a lane dominant champ at all. shes one of the weaker laning ad carries if not the worst. have you considered removing it?. when I adc it really comes down to which side can freeze lane after first back and get 20+ cs ahead. also it makes it hard to last hit with since minions often die immediately after getting really low because of it. WHY IS IT A THING?

pushing is a huge advantage that very few champions get to enjoy, stop being bad

Tristana is pretty bad right now though, and having a passive that auto shoves lanes for you just puts you in an even more dangerous spot on her. I also don't like a lot of her damage being tied to E either.

As a Support main, I must agree. It is extremely annoying running Support for her because of how, whether she wants it or not, the lane will be pushed into the enemy - which is just asking to be ganked.

Well, this is a problem indeed. But on the other hand you have Vayne. I love playing Vayne (in my server) and honestely it is annoying to go against a lane pusher like Jinx, Caitlyn or... Tristana! Also, she is the only adc imo to have no problem to farm under the tower, just put a bomb, kill a minnion so you activate your E's passive then blow the bomb and bam, there you go. Wave cleared.

ITT: ad carries that don't know how to adc and supports that don't know how to support LUL

-Afk farm until lv7 -Don't trade with the enemy adc unless he's killing himself -DON'T TRADE WITH THE ENEMY ADC -Rush a bf and then a runaan -As soon as you reach lv7 go afk pushing for the rest of the game (this is true for any champ, but for trist in particular) -Don't start any fight unless you have at least 4 items+boots -Stay at the edge of a teamfight and just dish out damage keeping your ult and jump EXCLUSIVELY for defensive purposes

Pasted from a previous thread.

oh also if you know what you're doing you can hold your E points instead of using them, but i guess that asking to a league player to think outside the box he will probably come up with something like sion-lux support or sightstone-adc-vayne-twitch removal

Best Tristana was post-rework, pre-post-rework-rework. Back when Q and E were tied together instead of W and E.

EDIT: AKA the Marksman Update as it turns out.

The only good thing to come out of the Marksman Update were Base & Growth stat normalisation as well as the itemisation rework. Nearly every champion they touched turned into cancer, gimmicky cheesy shit that got it's gimmick removed a few patches later, or disappeared.
