Let me stop you right there. AP Tristana IS dead. Her OLD KIT ALREADY HAD 300% single target burst.

Her new kit has 300% CONDITIONAL burst, with 200% AoE (100% of which she had already and doesn't need) and 100% scaling with armor pen (of which she cannot build). Your combo requires a STACKED BOMB. Here are the problems with a stacking autoattack mechanic on AP Trist.

1. You have no attack speed. Building attack speed compromises your damage.

2. Burst mages need to be able to do instant damage. Her instant damage is now 200% AP scaling, 100% less than before.

3. In order to do the full 300% AP damage, the enemy in question (who knows he has the explosive shot on him) needs to stay within Tristana's autoattack range for 4 autoattacks. Which brings me to

4. An AD Tristana could probably kill a squishy target in 4 autoattacks. 4xAutoattack has a 400% total AD scaling (not counting crit chance and the fact that attack speed makes it a faster combo), plus Explosive shot's 220% bonus AD scaling.

And you call the new AP Tristana OP? The rework did not change her into a balanced mage. The rework meant that AP Tristana now has an unreliable shittier version of the burst she used to have, where her AP burst combo deals less damage and takes longer than her AD "burst combo".
