This Tristana Top Meta is Driving Me Bonkers.

Basically, see the title. I'm a top laner, have been since Season 5. I've seen some incredibly unfun metas (cough tank meta cough), but this takes the cake! It seems like every third game I have to deal with this braindead-ass mildly irritating champion being picked top and cancelling my laning phase entirely. Isn't she supposed to be a late-game hyper-carry but balanced by having a weak early game? Right now, she stomps top early, she outscales bot late, and she removes top's laning phase from the game entirely. If yall look at my boards history, you'll know that I don't post often, so that it came to this is really saying something about how much this is tilting me. Please, give me some advice on how in Avarosa's name I'm supposed to deal with this, since right now I'm at a loss.

Tristana is literally played everywhere. She is played ADC, Mid, Jungle, Top.

Beating Tristana Top will mean you have to play someone that can deal with her. I don't know who exactly but maybe Olaf, Aatrox, or Tryndamere?

I said that years ago before this whole ADC top & Mid strat even started.

ADCs are quite damn oppressive in both Top & Mid. No need to face one to know, just use common game dynamics logic.

Except against broken shits like Riven & company, and even then ADCs do better against them than your normal Top & Mid picks.
