Lets talk about tristana builds and recent trends

tristana

I know that it seems like an easy topic: Infinity Edge rush, static into Rapid Fire but on pro builds and other sites I see some variations and different builds. Would be nice to get some opinions on some build paths:

  • Bf/Pick axe, zeal -> static, infinity edge

Normaly I tend to just straight up rush IE and go atkspeed after. I did some tests and it seems like the early dmg is a bit higher but it obviously depends if you get some crits with IE.

  • Botrk -> hurricane -> RFC -> IE

I also tested the dps on this build and it seems like every build with botrk just does more dmg overall. I have no clue how crit and botrk dmg is calculated on dummies tho. I would imagine that this build is supposed to shred tanks. Hurricane is nice instead of static but I prefer the huge long range crits. Honestly Botrk seems like a really good item atm.

  • Rulers recent build (note that he took fevor): Zeal -> beserkers (guess optional?)-> hurricane -> BotrK -> RFC -> IE

With this build you probably want to push til you get tower and then get some dmg and more atk with botrk. I tested the dps between zeal and bf sword early and just from a dps perspective it doesnt really make a difference. Something like 71 to 68 dps in favour of bf but you can proc your e better with atkspeed and fevor helps too.

For me these builds try to compensate the time you have to scale. Just IE is not that good without atkspeed and critrate I guess.

TL;DR: Give me some opinions on the builds above please. If you have other build options to add feel free to do so. :)
