If Old AP Trist was so easy to play, why wasn't she top tier? A lot of positioning goes into it because unlike champions like Zed, you don't have an assured escape (Jump is very slow) and you don't have invulnerability.

Don't tell me it's not rewarding to be able to delete an ADC in a full ability combo, no matter who you are. Or when you manage to make a split second catch on someone who's at 50% health out of position. That is an assassin's job. That IS your job satisfaction.

New Tristana is way weaker if you don't get a perfect combo, and even if you DO get a perfect combo... she's still weaker.

If they wanted a viable AP build that was "healthier", they should have given her more power to balance out the need to stack up the E for damage. Then it would reward people who played her intelligently. No matter how good you are, the new AP tristana is just.. weaker than the old one.

With the new jump, assuming perfect performance (which will never realistically happen), she can jump on one target for 100% scaling and AoE 80%, then reset jump on other targets for 50% scaling.

With the old jump, she can jump on targets for 80% scaling, then reset jump for the SAME 80% SCALING.

Old Tristana's reset gives her 30% more AP scaling than her new reset. And katarina beats them both with a reset on all 3 of her base abilities, giving her a 1.25 AP scaling per reset (and an ult every 2-3 resets).
