^ok... what really annoys me here, is that u say AP MF is fine but AP Tristana isn't. I'm trying really hard to treat u seriously.

first of all NEVER bother tags. Galio, Teemo, Morgana and Shen are tagged as supports, are they supports? NO. Gangplank is tagged as carry. Gragas, Fizz and Diana are tagged as fighter. they are not fighters.

u can say Tristana is not supposed to be played AP, but I say it's just another way to play her. u said comparing Trist to Leblanc is unfair, because Tristana will never be able to burst people like LeBlanc do, but why not? She got everything assassins need - big burst, and some engage and disengage tools, just like LeBlanc.

I don't know AP Maokai much, but I guess it migh work. By looking at his kit, I would say it's not viable because he is melee, his engage range is medium range and he lacks any disengage. also his AP ratios are not as great as AP Tristana (higher base damages though).

also AP MF is 100% stuped. she can't do anything AD MF can't do. AP and AD Tristana are hard to compare because they have different playstyles. AP MF and AD MF have a pretty similar playstyles - AD MF deals more damage with her ult and Q+AA deals more damage than AP MF's E.
