Tristana has been a bottom performing adc for over a year now, with no comments about any possible buffs or reworks. Yes she is good at taking towers, but she needs a buff to be competitive. What are her plans for the future?
Dark Nephthys2 votesI agree that she could use some help, though I don't think she really needs a lot of help. The problem with her is that everything that she does or that is her "niche" she is outclassed by other ADCs in that category. For example when you think of Tristana, you think of an ADC with a strong late game that is very safe, can snowball pretty well, and great at taking towers.
She is arguably the most safe ADC but I still feel 
are both safe ADCs (could argue Ez might be safer). Tristana doesn't really snowball as hard as 
and arguably 
. There are better late game carries than her like 
and maybe 
. And as for taking towers, Jinx is almost as fast with her perma 70% attack speed basically and towers are basically paper now anyways, any attack speed ADC can take a tower in just 2 waves if they kill you or force you to recall it seems and if you really really wanted to take towers fast you could just play bot lane 
.
Personally I think they should give her back the on-hit CDR for both her Q and E like how she had in the end of season 5 I believe it was. But lower it down a little bit and not as strong. Like make it "Attacking while under the effects of Rapid fire, lowers rapid fire's CD by 0.5 seconds" And "Attacking a target with Explosive mine on them lowers explosive mines CD by 0.5 seconds"
Speeedy2 votesi agree especially since its been 3 years since she has had a competitive pick/ban rate
Spârky1 votesI think she is fine. She is still ok to play. They gave her q duration a buff a few patches ago. Which I think helped a lot. But I think since games dont go to late game anymore she doesnt really shine. Especially since twitch exists and does what she does but better.
Speeedy2 votesshe has one of the lowest pick and win rates. i'm not sure how you can say shes fine. Even with the buffs that they have given her it doesnt make her good. When i watch streams of Diamonds play her she gets shut down in lane hard (which is expected) and then of she does get her E off they just walk away to negate the damage stacks that could be building up. The only way they get more is they have to all in with her.
Nahui1 votesShe's not a power pick, but she still does her job well. She's a very safe, late game scaling ADC with exceptional surging capabilities. She just doesn't have a way to early/mid game burst or crush tanks like many popular ADCs without relying on a huge CD.
