First things first : I love the work you did on Tristana in terms of visual. Now she truly has an identity and doesn't look like a potato with three lines Tristana

On the subject of gameplay...

Tristana AD feels less passive than before, which is reaaaaally reaaaaaaally great. But AP tristana.... what happened? I agree that she was in a truly awful spot (never bought a DFG on her cos' i was one shotting people anyway - nuff' said) but right now, I actually think that she lost much to the trade. I mean, the whole kit revolves around her "e" and the combo that you can do with it. But how do you use it to its full power? Via auto-attacks. That's where the whole problem is.

It's extremely hard to go to four stacks which would be totally fine if we were talking about the old trist'. But with this one, she truly hits like a baby, unless you get her to the full four stacks. And use your w on the target. But how do you get to that point? Auto-attacking. Which is clearly NOT a good idea in a fight between mages or when you're suppose to kill a squishy who hits as hard as a marksman. Plus, the window of time to go with four stacks + place your w is shorter than ever. Plus, the guy who got e placed on him has two choices : go full ham on you (you'll die or waste your ult - not exactly fun) or just... leave your range. Aaaaand you'll deal something like 80. Aaaaaaaand he'll laugh and what will follow won't be fun. item 2049 item 3070

What should change with her e? Well actually, I think that i'll want to hear the community on this one (please try to avoid the - oh so classic - "just change back to the old one lol")!

Love ya all,

Reiquai

they basically made her like AP trynda in that it is not wrth going AP trist in nearly all cases expecially in ranked.

Her targeted abilities with insianly high AP ratios basically made her have no couterplay and next to no interaxtion with eheny champions with not much of any AP. Overall really frustrating to have to face or should I say more frustrating then leblanc before her silence was removed for a lot of champions.

Just be glad she has any AP ratios at all.

Also, please do not downvote if you disagree on the changes, upvote it instead to give it exposure.

Back when she first came out, I had this crazy idea of AP scaling on her Q active. This would make her still gated by her Q cooldown, and can actually build full AP without having to build attack speed. I'm not sure what the scaling should be like and what effect this would have on AD Trist though.

Currently if you want to build her AP, maybe try going Nashor and Wit's End.
