Tristana update rocket jumps onto live!

Riot··1 votes·32,073 views

After a brief stint on the PBE, Tristana’s ready to rocket onto Summoner’s Rift and show off her fancy new stuff. With redone models, textures and effects for all her skins, a new voice, and an explosively charged new ability, it’s a fairly fundamental update. Check out our recent PBE article for the full story right here, or just look below for some pretty pictures!


Rock(et) out with your socks out with Tristana’s Yordlefication bundle. This flexible cost bundle clocks in at 4046 RP (25% off), lasts until 11:59 PM PST on February 4 and includes the following:

  • Tristana
  • Earnest Elf Tristana
  • Firefighter Tristana
  • Guerilla Tristana
  • Buccaneer Tristana
  • Rocket Girl Tristana

Look closely and you’ll note this isn’t quite the full Tristana skin line-up. After asking around, it turns out Riot Girl Tristana was too busy gawking on social media at 2014’s top ten rockets (you’ve never seen anything like number seven before!) to turn up. Good thing you can still pick her up for free by heading to the League of Legends facebook page, eh?

Excited to jump around with Tristana’s update? Let us know if the comments below!

I don't really enjoy the part of her nuking turrets, turrets are defenseless creatures that have no mobility, save the turrets from this abuse, they keep getting bullied and ganged up on by minion waves and champions!!!

I want to see a little sister/big daddy skin (bioshock 2)

Angam8 votes

Nah, that's not a skin, it's a duo lane. Base Annie partnered with base Nautilus.

Mixter1233 votes

If it did become a skin, I'd see it as a single skin for Annie(Annie being the Little Sister & Tibbers being the Big Daddy) rather than 2 skins for two different champs.

TBH that would probably work better as a Nunu skin, since he actually does ride on something, just make him a little brother,

they should make a big hero 6 nunu skin because when hire rides on baymax back, it reminded me of nunu

Excited to jump around as Trist? sure the abilities look fantastic but i can not stand what you did to the model and voice. Her new voice is horrendous. I appreciate that you spent a lot of work on her but I have to say it's one thing to rework a champion and another to give a new champion the name of an old one. Her ears are insane now and she doesn't resemble any of the other yordles. Her used to be chubby self is now completely thinned out as to add sex appeal because that's what you do to every female champion and of course there is no way possible for a champion to actually be dressed modestly or normally have fun being stabbed through your totally protected stomach. Her used to be bored voice that actually stood apart from other voices now just sounds like Lux but deeper. her gun is now much more like Jinx's gun. and her dance isn't a dance and the song makes me want to die.

nice recall animation though.

so to summarize that all you basically removed all individuality and made a yordle jinx. Congratulations you made me hate my favorite champion.

I'm actually a little disappointed. The skins all look the same, in my opinion. Maybe it is the fact of ZERO change to the actual character, just the clothing/props. Tristana

Loving the update and character design, but I wish they could revert the rocket girl skin. It was basically my favorite skin out of every champion and now it looks really goofy, I probably won't use it again and just use the classic or riot girl :/ Otherwise good work guys :)

Riot please fix Tristana's joke: "Please allow my cannon and I to conflict resolve."

It should be "my cannon and me".

What is Lunar New Year?

P.S.: I'm a new player so...

It's new year in China

The Lunar New Year is the first day of the first month of the Lunar Calendar, and is celebrated in China with the Chinese New Year celebration (which is 15 days long; check Wikipedia, it's pretty cool stuff). Lunar Revel is a League of Legends event that is based off of the Chinese New Year, and that's why all the skins that come out during this time tend to be Chinese inspired.

I love how her splash already doesn't match her in game look. "Epic fail"

Centarius2 votes

Dammit Riot this was your chance to completely rework someone like Morde. Making him into a Menacing champion like some Darksouls boss. But NO "Were just going to touch him once for patch 5.3 and leave him alone for another 3 years." This is practically what you guys are telling us. "OH but he now get's higher resolution pizza feet aren't you happy?" No I'm not fucking happy I'm pretty damn disappointed. Sion and all these other old champs get's all this TLC and it's not fair.

Calm down, the entire team isn't working on tristana, it just so happens that the team working on her finished before the team working on Mordekaiser

Well, looks like they have to rework teemo now, or Tristana will complain about him looking old.

I don't like the new model. It makes the tiny yordle girl she was bigger then the starting cho'gath. Also i have the feeling that she is turning around really slow now. The new bomb shot spell on E is strange too. I'm sad like Amumu

Petechi2 votes

While the gameplay update is really nice and I can get behind it and the visual update isn't bad, I saw the new ideas for splash art and... Well... She looks really creepy in the new splash art. I can't be the only one who thinks this, can I?

Rito I have a question:

The plural of cactus is cacti, and the plural of sarcophagus is sarcophagi.

Does this mean that the plural of Nexus is Nexi?

Leave a commentTristana Since it has the Yordlefication Bundle, and it includes the normal Tristana skin, does this mean that I have to buy the bundle to get the updated version, or am I just overthinking this, and being stupid?

over thinking. if you own trist you still have her, and any skins you had for her.
