Regarding the reason why tristana can shoot a cannon ball which pushes stone giants away without being pushed back herself.... Well probably for  the same reason that a real life machine has more recoil than a rocket launcher: While shooting the rocket forward, the weapon also expels large amounts of air at high speed backwards. Roughly, the sum of the initial momentum of the rocket and the sum of the air expelled backwards is 0. Hence no recoil. (If a real life person were to stand before the rocket launcher, he would probably be knocked back just like the stone giant, even though the person who fires feels no recoil)
