Trist is by far one of the worst AD carries. She relies on magic damage for early game burst and mid-game she does nothing until she farms IE and PD at level 18. Until then, she has horrible damage output and contributes very little to team fights. Other AD carries have much better laning compared to her since her range hasn't kicked in and she randomly pushes her lane if she tries farming with a point in E.

Her attack speed steroid is great but it only can be on half the time compared so someone like graves who can constantly refresh his attack speed or vayne/sivir who have aa reset skills. Ok, so her ultimate displaces 1 person during a fight, but that's pretty much her selling point utility wise. Other carries have forms of utility that best her while still retaining nearly the same damage. Her range is great but if the team sees you and gapcloses all over you, you're pretty much screwed compared to other carries who have much better mobility. Rocket jump is so slow on channeling time that using it usually gets you killed. E, W, and R's magic damage scale horribly on an AD build so all she has is her auto attack to contribute in fights.

Overall she really needs an update because right now, her laning phase and mid game is what is keeping her from being any sort of significant threat. She's pretty much all raw damage and no noticeably utility.
