That baseline DPS is extremely low when compared to other hypercarries outside of their steroids and even compared to mid-game carries like Lucian or Corki or Graves, Trist can't output enough damage against them outside of her steroid/E combo...at least other carries, when out of spells/mana/steroids/everything else, they can still rely on their base attack speed and crit power that comes with it. Trist's low base stats just gimps her on that remark. Plus i disagree with your notion of Trist's resets...i think given the high power a reset can carry, it should have a proper lever to push (in this case a reliance in chain comboing your spells and commit to your initial target, aside from the tool it'll take on your mana bar)...otherwise you get the Katarina effect, where you just facerool the keyboard and avalanche through the enemy team...
