The difference between Tristana and Xin Zhao, however, is that Tristana can afford to build glass cannon without worry. In addition to having better base attack speed/level and the same base attack speed (0.658), she has a 90% attack speed steroid (better than Xin's doubled) that lasts for seven seconds. Most notably, Xin Zhao is constrained to melee range while Tristana starts with 550 range. At level 12, she has one point of range less than Caitlyn does, and at level 18, she has 703.

Still not convinced? Consider furthermore that Tristana has a 900-range un-targeted dash that acts as an escape, something lacking entirely in Xin Zhao's kit -- and this isn't even counting her 600-1000 range knockaway.
