You know, Tristana is a pretty old champion. Back then Riot was bashing himself on chest how hard they're trying to have all champions designed in a way where you can play them both AD or AP. And then they released first AD mages. So now all the newly released ranged AD have physical skills scaling off AD. Including Sivir's remake. So yeah, we could say that Tristana is outdated and that she might get reworked in the future (phys skills with AD scaling).

But there are two things that works in Tristana's favour: she does have very good early game burst (and being magic damage means that it deals even more damage early), while she keeps all the skills' utility in late game and the second thing is, that her AA range makes her pretty safe against CC (you'll outrange most of the single target CC spells, and even if they flash+dazzle for example, you can just jump away safely, having your summoners available for team fight).

But she does lose her burst late game, can't compare to vayne or new sivir where you can just execute squishies if you can get close enough to them.
