TRISTANA SKIN CONCEPT-- Point Guard Tristana!

As a proud Tristana main, I think she deserves a little more love in the skin department. I was also thinking, why does Darius get to have the only basketball skin? That's when it hit me-- POINT GUARD TRISTANA! It would probably be one of those skins that has the potential to be legendary but isn't (eg. Snow Day Bard.) Here were my ideas--

Basic design: Point Guard Tristana would have a basketball jersey with "Bandle City" on the front (not sure about color scheme, but she'd probably have chromas like dunkmaster Darius . She'd also be wearing a sweatband with the same color scheme. Her gun is where things get interesting. It would be similar to her normal gun, except it would be based around a basketball hoop. The barrel of the gun would be clear, and there would be a net at the end. There would also be a shot clock turned off on the side of the gun. Her cannonballs are replaced by basketballs, and you can see them inside of the gun.

Ability animations:

Q: Tristana's gun glows orange, and the shot clock starts ticking down the duration of the ability. (A neat little feature, if I do say so myself. The only reason this could be controversial is that the opponents could see how much time is left on your Q, but I don't really think that's a problem.) W: Tristana jumps into the air with a ball and explosively dunks on the ground. E: Basically, the stickybomb is a basketball floating above a hoop. Every time you get a stack of your E, the ball comes a bit closer to the hoop, and both the rim and the ball start to glow more with each stack. Once your E reaches full stacks or the timer expires, the ball flies through the hoop and explodes. R: Instead of SHOOTING her buster shot, Tristana straight up throws a giant basketball at her target.

Taunt Animations:

Laugh: Same as normal. Dance: Dribbles a basketball around her, going behind the back, through the legs, etc. Taunt: Same as normal, except she's spinning a basketball on her finger. Joke: Tristana dribbles around, stops dribbling, then starts again, and when she starts again, a loud whistle can be heard. She looks up at the screen and says "Aww, come on!" (Note- If you don't know much about basketball, she just "double dribbled" which is a penalty.)

Death animation: The same as normal, except a loud buzzer plays. (You know, signaling the "end of the game.")

Other things that could change:

  1. Maybe the shot clock could be replaced by a scoreboard that shows Tristana's K/D/A.
  2. Again, I guess she could just shoot her R, but that takes the fun out of it.

That's all! Please comment on your opinions, or if there is anything I should clarify! :D

I feel draven needs this skin more. No one can shoot and rebound like him. He could be carrying 2 balls, and when his axes are spinning he's either dribbling or spinning them on his finger. His axe markers could be changed to basketballs or hoops that the ball goes to
