Tristana's visual update is one of the best I've seen from Riot yet. That being said, her ears just seem distractingly large and I think they work against the overall appeal of the skin. I think they make her look more like Twitch and take away from her identity as a Yordle / Megling gunner.
2000boxes1 voteswhat do ears have to do with being a gunner?
DustyBronco1 votesEasy - they make her less aerodynamic. Plus, a strong wind could flap them into her face.

there are flying animals with proportionally large eats
they wanted to make her more yordle (aka more animal like) since the meglings were retconned
DustyBronco1 votesSo...is she meant to look like a bat or a rat?
I totally understand making her more animal-like, but I think they went overboard with the ears.

DustyBronco1 votesUh...good point, actually. I didn't even consider Gnar. I don't think the big ears look good on Trist, but they're being consistent with the "new" Yordle design.
I could try to make a case that since Gnar is so old, modern Yordles have evolved smaller ears.
The Red Goat1 votesHonestly the size of the ears are fine since being so large it adds more to the animalistic look Yordles are supposed to have. And Gnar is actually a good example of the other side of 2 extremes with him being the mostly animal version and I guess Heimerdinger being the more human looking one. Tristana was supposed to be somewhere in between with her animalistic attraction to explosions but her intelligent approach to creating them. If for some reason Ziggs ever receives an update like this he will likely fall within the same space as Tristana for new looks.
