Will we be seeing a Traditional Tristana skin along with her upcoming update?
I really prefer her old look, Trundle, Karma and Sejuani got traditional skins for those that owned them before their large visual changes, what about our Tristana?

She doesn't look that different to validate a traditional in my opinion but well, neither did Sejuani and she got one, so who knows.
It just sucks to be you, because as of the Sion relaunch Riot said "Never doing Traditional skins again, because it nurtures dislike for the new look and design of a champ instead of bridging the gap between old and new like originally intended" —that is the short paraphrased version, but you get the point. Giving a "Traditional Skin" is like saying "were fixing this, but it isn't really fixed so have a nice skin to make you feel better about the changes". On top of that, a Traditional skin would look exactly like her new model, because they would use the same rig. Traditional skins were only designed for a couple skins where the champs WHOLE APPEARANCE changed, like trundle turning blue and hulking up, or Lee sin being a monk in monk cloths instead of a guy in gym shorts with shaggy hair. new Tristana is SO similar to the old Tristana that they wouldn't have any way to make a traditional skin. What you are asking for is like asking for a traditional Alistar. Alistar looks different, yes, but if you made a new "traditional skin" for his VU, nobody would be able to really tell the difference aside from maybe a different curve to his horns.
I would not expect that she gets a skin like that. Her animations don't fit onto her old model. Twitch is also a champion who didn't received one. They would not put more work into something which is just half bad, but her SPLASH ART was an exception, not her in game model.
