I was playing adc earlier today, as i usually do, seeing as it's my favorite role, and i came across a few people playing Tristana. You do pretty standard against her until SHE FLIES DOUBLE THE RANGE OF FLASH INTO YOU. I understand it's a mobility skill and it helps her in catch ups and escapes, but the range on it is just so damn long. Kass's ult got nerfed to about the range of flash, as did ezreal's arcane shift, and even flash itself got nerfed. So why can Trist hop so far? It's just such a broken element to her gameplay, in my opinion. The reset on kill or assist only contributes to it. The only other ability that goes as far as Trist is Kha' Zix's evolved leap, which he has to put a point from his ultimate in to get.

Then you realize it is buggy, she is squishy and only does OK damage unless she builds AP.

Champions aren't balanced around a single ability, they're balanced around their entire kits. Sure, Rocket Jump's strong, but that's just one of Tristana's strengths. Reducing its range would make it useless, not to mention looking retarded. Remember that Corki's Valkyrie has about the same range with a virtually nonexistent cast time.

First of all Trist does alot of damage lategame. Build her right with IE and PD and she does tons of damage lategame. She is called a hypercarry lategame for a reason. Second Trist's jump is her only mobilit and positioning ability. It is also very buggy and glitchy and you can cc her. She is also very squishy.

You're complaining about Trist jump? Give her an ult then that scales with AD or actually stuns like other ADC's. Not only that but you can cc her mid-jump and it is the slowest dash mechanism in the game. Yes it is not programmed as a jump it is programmed as a dash.
