How to play against Tristana

Lane and teamfight rules that hold regardless of your pick.

In lane and in teamfights

1. Prepare to punish her W as soon as she jumps forward. Place crowd control where she lands instead of where she started.
2. Disengage when E is stacked on you. Short trades deny the burst window she needs to win early all-ins.
3. Catch side waves before she can crash and take towers for free. Tristana converts unattended waves into structure damage very quickly.
4. Force fights after she uses W aggressively. Without the jump reset, she is much easier to lock down.
5. Protect your backline from her jump reset chain. Kill or crowd control her after W lands, before she can secure the first reset.

Where Tristana is weak

Exploit these in draft and in lane.

• Tristana commits heavily when she jumps forward, making failed all-ins punishable before any reset arrives.
• Tristana's explosive charge pattern needs repeated attacks, so disengage denies the burst that unlocks her reset chain.
