I wonder if Trist is gonna have changes to her in the Marksmen update...while she's a premier tower pusher and burst ADC, her actual sustained damage lategame isn't all that great since her steroid is of somewhat short duration. Also her entire powercurve is wonky for a character who was always penned as a lategame hypercarry. Her lane is actually quite strong, her mid game too, but her lategame, while dangereous isn't quite hypercarry worthy, not to mention one of the intended rework goals was to make Trist go in using W to combine the W-E full stack burst, but that failed miserably since as an ADC going full engage into the enemy team will get you killed.

Here's some of the changes i'd like to see:

Base stats:

AA/spell range reduced to 525.

Base mana increased to 280.

Mana per level increased 45.

Passive: range increase per level increased to 10 from 7. (Total range is now 705 at level 18)

Q: CDR passive removed.

E: Cooldown increased to 18 seconds. Mana cost is now 70 at all ranks. Damage is reduced to 50% if a marked enemy is marked again within 10 seconds.

R: New passive: Detonating a fully stacked Explosive Charge, while Rapid Fire is active will reduce both cooldowns by 20/50/80% of their base cooldown.

The idea is to tone down her lane burst and magnify her lategame by a large margin and make a halfway point between her pre-rework and post-rework strengths, creating a sustained damage pattern from multiple resets through spell and auto weaving the E-Q-AA combo. Trist's rework, i feel, while in the right direction to create a unique type of ADC based on resets feels incomplete since her reset mechanics don't go the distance and give her actual reset power outside of her W.

By moving the Q passive into the ult and putting it on steroids, you get more lategame power, but since you have fully stack it for the reset, you have to position properly, pick your targets and avoid getting focused, or the enemy using QSS to cleanse the bomb and break the pattern
