Tristana is a great late game carry but she absolutely needs good team to help her survive and get fed of creeps until she gets IE. Without IE she deals pathetic damage, but the moment she finishes IE she suddenly gains 80 AD, 25% crit, 50% crit damage and 90% attack speed. These stats start to multiply each other and the result is some killer dps in team fights.

Getting to that IE asap is the problem though. Absolutely do not hesistate to kill steal with R as you will help not only yourself but your team too (though they might be bitching a bit initially but they'll shut up when you have 10+ kills). How hard you are going to snowball usually depends on how fast you get that IE.

Remember, Tristana deals no damage without IE! She is also bad pick for solo queue (due to incompetent dumbasses on your team usually ruining your already weak early game) but shines in premade or even duo queue.
