PBE Tristana Changes

So, for a few patches now Tristana's been receiving small buffs to her reworked kit, usually with the intention of making her explosive charge feel more impactful. But, with so many small changes made and Tristana's win rate still suffering, have you considered that maybe a player-vs-tower kit just isn't very good?

As a serious question: at what point do you cut bait with all these buffs focused on the stacking mechanic and just admit that the rework wasn't a success? Are you concerned that you'll have to make a kit like hers (with long cooldowns and specialization in non-pvp) very overtuned to make it feel rewarding? I certainly am, and I think a lot of former/current Tris players would prefer having her power budget distributed more into her lategame rather than having a large amount of it stuck in this stacking mechanic and its interaction with her repositioning skill.

Any insight into Riot's thoughts on Tris's current state and future direction would be really informative!

The rework was a success, it was the unnecessary stat nerfs that are dragging her down. Revert her utterly unnecessary passive nerf, and buff her Q active to at least 50/75/100/125/150% AS and boom, she would be all set.

i actually like the tristana rework. while she can no longer poke as will her new e is great for all ins, and my favorite tactic is, when i'm at their tower, e the turrent stack 3-4 hits and walk away while they take huge damage.

Her Q just needs to be more interesting.

In the other thread everyone wants her Base AS and As growth Buffed too.

I like the rework and I think it makes her require more skill. It's also more fun. The problem is that she's trash tier due to the numbers/base stats.
