It's NOT bugged. The startup is intentional; even Kassadin's riftwalk has a startup time, and you won't be able to find a better blink in the entire game.

Tristana can travel a MASSIVE distance with her W and she can shoot and cast spells while she's travelling, meaning the only time she's actually helpless is the ~.5 seconds of the initial animation. In terms of kiting and evasion it's actually better than a blink with an animation upon landing. And having a gap-closer this big with no startup time woul be blatantly overpowered.

Same thing for her ult, the knockback direction depends on Tist's positioning upon contact, not when it's launched, that's intentional.

I can't really speak for her Q startup though; we actually loose whole 1 second of AS buff, reducing it to 6 seconds. I dunno if it's intended but it looks a little iffy
