Dont compare AP Trist to AD Trist, pls. they have totaly different roles, they are imposible to compare.

1. her kit revolves around kiting if u build her AD carry. But, if u build her AP her burst is huge, especially earlier. This means she will almost always get the reset. Idk if u noticed, but most assassins have to get close to their target in order to deal damage.

2. So what? again, don't compare her to AD Tristana. u could also argue that AD Tristana is bad because she doesn't make use of her huge AP ratios.

3. What can I say - I almost never run out of mana with AP Tristana, while my only mana regen is from Doran's Ring. None of her abilities are spammable, and u dont even use your Q. u obviously never played AP Tristana, she is one of the least mana hungry champions.

4. Tons of champions don't have sustain. Most assassins, in fact.
