Tristana still is one of the snowball heaviest ADC's right after Draven and Jinx. What kinda criples her and makes her feel "outdated" are her pretty long cast animations (the bomb that she throws on the enemy, the insanely long jump animation, even her ult has a pretty long cast time). If you'd want to "buff" Tristana without breaking her, letting her animation speed scale with attackspeed (E) and movementspeed (W) would be the best way. Maybe alongside with a better AA animation, cuz hers sucks early on.

Problem with Trist is that she kind of is an allrounder. Her E gives her really high damage in early trades and in midgame it can turn her into a real monster. Late game she shines with her growing range and her attackspeed steroid, which turn her into a semi-hyper carry. She has some sort of mobility, she has some sort of self peel and she has some sort of pushing power.

However all these things come with a draw back. Her E needs extended trades and that's often hard to do in laning phase (unlike other early to midgame trade spells like Lucian Q or Draven Q). Her extra range is level dependant (unlike Cait, Jinx or Kog's) and an ADC is allways behind in level and her attackspeed steroid has a pretty high cooldown (unlike Kog's). Her mobility has a really long casting animation and that keeps her from DPS'ing if she uses it (unlike Lucians, Graves or Vayne's), her self peel is her ult (unlike Draven's, Quinn's or Vayne's) and her pushing power is something she can not control (unlike Sivir's, Xayah's or Jinx's).

That means she has everything other ADC's can do in her kit, but a slightly worse version of it. Pretty much the definition of "allrounder" - she can do everything but nothing of it insanely good. And the problem with that is the following: if you buff one part of her, she could become insanely good in that espect, just like others are. But unlike them she still has all the other aspects in her kit and that could make her too dominant and an must-pick. We've allready seen metas where that was the case.

QoL changes would be the only thing that she should recieve imo.
