Tristana, where are your boots?

Are you seriously going to go rocket jumping around like that? Also cover your midriff and get rid of that earring, you aren't some punk.

Seriously though, when I think of Tristana, I think of big steel boots made for stomping people, not these tiny feet. Not to mention she's constantly shooting at her feet with and jumping on top of explosives, I think Tristana is smart enough to wear some protection, not whatever.. these are. http://i.imgur.com/kDEKbfA.png

Yes. Yes she is. She's going to rocket jump straight in to your heart whether you want it or not.

When a character's primary means of damage requires SQUASHING the enemy, they might want to wear boots. Combat boots are fun for squashing.

I appreciate the effort that went into giving her toes, but it doesn't fit the character. Neither does her being PURPLE, by the way.

Seriously, would Mario wear those?

I support the cry for shiny boots for Tristana! Afterall, the reduce rocket jumping damage by 60%!

Let's be fair here, if you're doing something like rocket jumping, I highly doubt a bit of armour and boots are going to make much difference...

If it's going to seriously hurt you, wearing boots are not going to help that much.

My only complaint is that she's a little too similar to Gnar

All of her skin's models actually have boots, even though I don't think her original model does. A bit odd, but I personally don't care. It does seem odd for a soldier to not wear shoes, but keep in mind they're yordles, and they probably don't wear any shoes normally. (That's what I'd think) But that isn't even her new splash (She is getting a new one) so we'll have to see what she's wearing on that.

Yeah I was kind of thinking the same thing, at least if she has the same lore. I mean, aren't Yordles supposed to be an intelligent, organized, and practical species?

Where is the practicality in what she is wearing? Corki wears a flight suit, Teemo wears light jungle fatigues, Heimerdinger wears a lab coat, Poppy wears armor, Rumble wears a driving suit, Tristana wears... a gogo clubbing outfit? If she was just some gun toting punk then it would fit, but she is supposed to be the commando of a special forces unit. Is the Yordle military completely sexist? Female recruits have to show some skin to get in the all boys club or something?

But i like the fact she wears no boots. She doesn't give any fucks,she squashes you with or without protection.

Ugh.. why do people HAVE to complain about everything Riot does? I think this design is perfect and I would hate Riot for changing it.

Perhaps Yordles have tough feet like Hobbits?

i was really hoping someone would bring this up. i would love to see her uniform resemble her current splash with metal gloves and boots and such.

On the bright side, now we know how yordle feet can look like (aside from Rumble's Rumble in the Jungle skin).

They have already stated they plan to update the splash art to reflect the new model... They aren't making a NEW splash art, just modifying the existing one.

#I think tristana has cute toes.

U mad?

Seriously

#ALL of her skins have boots.

And I really like the more feral direction they are going with Yordles now. If you love boots so much, go with any of her skins. How about the best one, which is ALSO

#THE FREE ONE

And she cant wear earrings?

She's a fairly light hearted character, like Lux, not a hardened psychoric killer like teemo. And even teemo could sport an earring.
