Tristana's Current State of Balance
Okay Riot, we all know you're trying really hard to make Tristana relevant with your cooldown "balancing"
I've mained Tristana since S3, and I do really love this update.. But seriously it's so hard to have any profound effect on the game early-mid, that you have to drag it out until you can actually do something.
Her cooldown reducing does seem awfully nifty, but in the long run for her Q, there's only 4-5 auto attacks you can get off before the E explodes, making using your Q feel more like a penalty than a buff. Her early game is meh, and her mid game dropoff is more noticeable than it ever has been. One moment you're dealing some damage and you feel important, then the next you can't even CS without being abused out of lane, having to back out and miss 1-2 waves.
It's so infuriating.. I've had some pretty minor success with her after her update. You've really captured the essence and playstyle of Tristana. The issue is is that staying in the game and being useful in teamfights is SO MUCH MORE DIFFICULT than it was before.
Buff her E? Lower the base cooldowns on both her Q and E? I don't care.. Just don't nerf her.
