That's AP Tristana in a nutshell. Her AP build is meant to one-shot squishies, but the strength of her burst is undermined by the length of her cooldowns: unlike other AP champions who have at least one spell on a short cooldown, Tristana's spells all have a base cooldown greater than 10 seconds: if she can't burst down her target, she's dead, which will usually happen once her opponents get a Banshee's. Even if she does kill her target, she can't do anything for an extended period of time, whereas every other AP champion, even burst champions like or, can at least throw down a nuke or some kind of crowd control.
