Where does Tristana stand in 5.5?
How do you guys think Tristana is in patch 5.5? Is she still a really good adc or has she just fallen off? Because a lot of people say that she has fallen off but I do perfectly fine with her.

The awesome base attack speed and high range per level were tristana's defining features, both of which were heavily nerfed. Now she really just feels like a mobile jinx, except jinx has better base stats, so why wouldn't you pick jinx?
I think she needs some buffs. Her e is so useless, her ult knockback people say is a utility, fine, but its damage is horrible. I really think jinxs overall is head and shoulders much much stronger than tristana. In fact I think jinx is easily the strongest adc in the game, lucian is a decent second if you know how to use him, but he's not the easiest champ to master.
I never see a tristana do good anymore. I'm being honest here every game when someone chooses tristana i know they are going to lose lane. Im always right.
I agree, they should've atleast kept her range as I feel that it was her most defining feature, aka her identity. It's like if they made it so Lucian's passive proc'd only ever so often rather than after every cast, it'd butcher his identity.
But yeah, the meta ADC pool is rather low. Just one thing to remember though if you're good at a champ it can work, I love bringing Kog to lane and having people severely underestimate my damage, only for them to get half-health'd at level 1 due to W poke. It sucks even more because her VU is kinda cool, but her damage isn't :c
She's isn't quite the late game hyper carry that she use to be (obviously.) But she still retains some of that potential. And she is probably favored better in the League of Tanks, since she will still have lots of AS for tank shredding.
As for comparing her to Jinx, I feel like people underValue the Mobility that Trist has. Jinx is powerful Overtly, but she's immobile if she isn't procing her passive, which makes her easy to gank. and the fact that she needs time to scale makes it hard on her if she is ganked. (though yoloQ may neglect this fact)
They nerfed her range and her attack speed scaling so that she would have big highs with E and big lows without it. She basically depends on E for her damage. There wasn't enough power added to make up for this.
I have a feeling they will either need to boost her E to stupid levels of damage or give her back some attack speed before she is good again.
Eh, she's sort of fun to play, but definitely not a tier 1 ADC. I honestly see no reason to play her over Graves, Lucian, Jinx, Corki, or Sivir.
