Help with ADC Tristana?

Okay, so I'm not a bad player or anything, but this has been bugging me for awhile (It's more a recent thing). So like the two main ADC's I play are Tristana and Sivir, (Although I play Tristana a lot more.) and I always seem to let my team down. Especially with Tristana. When I first got her I was getting 20/3 and that sort of thing, but lately i've been terrible and even feeding a little bit early game.

I think my main problem is I never know when to go in. I need to work on being aggressive, because i'm always afraid the adc and support will get me before I get them, and never really jump in for the kill. I need to know how to be more aggressive with Tristana and how to get those early kills Tristana should. Sometimes I just get a bad support, but even when I have a good one I feel like I'm letting them down by not going in and getting the kill enough. Any tips?

Hey, Tristana can definitely be tricky with decision making. I find that it helps if you just try and forget about your W resets and just farm up early, max your E first because last hitting the minions can also poke the enemy adc and sup if they are standing somewhere stupid (right beside the minions). As you level up your range increases, so take advantage of that. When their champions come to close, toss an explosive charge on them and land one or two auto attacks on them which forces them to back off, because if you both keep auto attacking you should normally win the trade.

 As far as teamfights and that soul-crushingly strong late game Tristana goes, try and make sure that you never W right into the middle of a team fight. Use your W to skirt around it. Tristana is especially good in fights in the jungle, because you can E and AA as much as you want until everyone starts running at you and then you can just W over a wall and keep shooting. If you jump right into the middle to "secure the kill" you are definitely dead. Remember that even though you can jump pretty far and over walls and stuff, you aren't invincible. I've jumped into the middle of teamfights way too many times to get my kill and then on my way jumping out to just die while I'm in the air. Think of your W as a speed boost as opposed to a teleport/flash sorta thing, because that's really what it is. You're super vulnerable while in the air.

So I guess basically Tl;Dr Farm up early, don't worry about early kills, get strong, don't jump into the middle, abuse your long range. -> gg
