Tristana needs a slight nerf

Ethereal Mist·10/10/2015, 5:28:30 PM·2 votes·606 views

Almost every game I play has a tristana in it. Literally the only thing I have seen people play in the past few weeks is either tristana, or a "counter" to tristana. (and there really is none) I have only even seen a tristana lose lane once against someone that wasn't another trist. I really don't want riot to kill this champion because she does have some interesting mechanics, her kit is just too overloaded and safe. Her main weakness IMO should be early game, but it's not. The only point she is ever weaker than other adcs is in mid game if she hasn't picked up any kills or assists yet against a good mid game adc. Besides that I really can't think of any weak points besides that she's bad at farming under turret. (which is completely negated by the fact that her pushing is insane) I'd say she needs an e damage nerf early game and have her e radius on towers reduced to 150%. This isn't just qqing about trist, I have played my share of games with her on my team and often we just win early and the enemy can do absolutely nothing to come back. The only champ that seems remotely good against tristana is corki, and even then corki isn't even favored hard because trist outscales him so hard late game. Basically trist's late game is way too powerful for how good her early game is.

i agree. Her abilities are hard to counter.

I haven't seen her much as any other adc.. I don't think she needs a nerf, if anything vayne/jinx does. Her early game is (kinda) weak, and her mid game is horrible. The only thing she can do mid game is push... But then late game she's a monster

I mained tristana but stopped playing her as much when she got popular again.

but her damage falls off at like level 8. Like just before she finishes her IE.. and that power won't be back till level 13 when her Q starts getting maxed..

However.. there is an opening in early game that allows her to be shot down early... her move speed, attack speed, and damage, are't that high as you may think level 1-5

Actually Ive been going adc Kennen kennen has higher base attack speed, higher base movement speed, around the same damage, and has the same range as her level 1. Which is why you gotta shut her down fast, Draw a bead is creeping and when it gets up there it'll be harder for you..

luckly kennen's Q and W has very long range for poking. manage to get a stun on tristana before engaging.. is highly recommended.

I always do well against her as a kennen.. So long as I shut her down early.. but even if you don't do well..

you will still be able to 1v1 her due to your stun and attack speed... hue..

Although I have a good time against Tristana I tend to struggle hard against Jinx as a Kennen..

Tristana needs a light nerf

As far as my opinion on this goes... I am unsure..

But maybe this upcomming marksman update may shed some light on a few other things.. it's coming in preseason.

I am hoping for a way to really make my ADC kennen POP.. x3
