Rocket Jump (W) damage increased from 60/110/160/210/260 to 100/150/200/150/300 def deserved buff she is underpowered imo edit: she also had ult buffs but lost 25 base range to compensate for it

I think this it to actually try and encourage her to jump into a fight, which if successful would just reset the ability so I don't see the point in it.

good nerf though is to her steroid which is on the pbe aswell

Rapid Fire (Q) Bonus attack speed reverted from 70/80/90/100/110% to 30/50/70/90/110% Active duration reverted from 3/4/5/6/7 secs to 7 seconds at all ranks

how many changes have they done on tristana on the pbe in a day lol. If it got reverted, there's like 3 changes in a day on her for the nerfs lol.

looks like they are toying with removing the reset completely

sorry I didn't know it was removed

Her late game damage on the jump are irrelevant, and we all know that early-game, Tristana ALWAYS engage with her W. This buff is purely unjustified.

that's why I said if successful she would get the reset anyway makes 0 sense

Her bonus range passive makes me upset, she's already pretty safe with her ult and cc-ignoring jump with the dmg she can put out her excess safeness is unjustistfiable

Riot needs to pick: high dmg marksmen or super safe marksman

I legit don't understand why they'd do this

Is being the longest range ADC with one of the best scalings not enough? I guess they want to cement her identity and 20ish range isn't a lot but she needs to feel weaker early to justify more range. Even small amounts = more autos on shorter range champs, especially combined with speed, her jump, and R.

Rathar DashingFeb 24, 20183 votes

Her base range was reduced to 525. She now has less range at all levels. No idea why people think this is a buff.

DreamerPFeb 23, 20189 votes

LOL I thought the same thing, I had to take a double look just to make sure I wasn't misreading and I can't believe they actually added damage to the W PLUS increased range on her passive for late game where she already excels...She literally does not need compensation buffs.

Rathar DashingFeb 24, 20182 votes

I think you're ignoring the -25 base range part. She's losing out on range at all levels, even at level 18 she still has 8 less range.

T4underboltFeb 24, 20185 votes

WOW. 8 less range. Holy sht man. Its unplayable. Dude it's literally like with zoe. that 0.25 s nerf has destryoed her. Now they take away 8 range from tristana passive at 18. OMG. Champion goes to a dumpster. /s

vgamedudeFeb 24, 20187 votes

I don't think they'll ever nerf or change these ridiculous "hyper carry" adcs with powerful mid game 2 item spikes enough to matter. gotta have those "sick" right click outplays and w buffers for the pro games am I right?

saltranFeb 24, 20183 votes

You talk like if Tristana had been the best adc for years when 1 year ago she was the worst adc in the game.

Sahn UzalFeb 23, 20185 votes

Come on mate, I hate Tristana just as much as you do, if not more. Who knows. But you forgot to mention the ''[Note: hold tight, possible other changes.]''. Pretty convenient and all but just wait it out for a while

Zed geniusFeb 23, 201810 votes

the point is that Riot is not looking to nerf this broken champion, they are trying to adjust her for whatever reason, while azir still gets nerfed for like 3 patches in a row with no compensation

Sahn UzalFeb 23, 20185 votes

My point is that you should wait it out. They could nerf one area damned hard, then compensate for a part of that in other areas or they could just nerf one area, and you could end up with the same net less in power.

so whats the point if she gets more damage on her w, that means she ll only be the same if she w on ur face, and everyone knows what happen to those tristana who w to ur face, explote on less than 0'1s

If she's jumping she's killing you and if she kills you she gets a jump reset that when time properly ignores cc

Dani El PezgloboFeb 23, 20184 votes

the only reason tristana have to w on ur face its to add 1 charge to her e, not the damage, the damage its literally meh.

The problem is that a lot of you don't actually care about balance, but just wanna see X or Y champion murdered and turned into complete useless garbage, and that's not how balance works.

^ Pretty much. .-. She's got a high play rate but her win rate was never out landish in the least. Not half as many people bitched about Ezreal when he was broken for the entirety of pre season with Klepto; they blamed Klepto instead of him.

I'm nervous that they're actually going to murder her though... All of the swapping back and forth does tell me that they either don't know what to do with her or they don't know what kind of nerf to give her that won't actually hurt her but will make all the whiners happy.
