Tristana

Tristana is an AD carry in the adc, and on patch 16.17 they grade out as a strong pick — a 53.5% win rate, 9.6% pick rate, 111,473 ranked games sampled. On the power curve, Tristana is a scaling champion: comparatively weak early, but one of the strongest picks on the map once core items come online — so the plan is to survive the laning phase and take the game over late.

How Tristana wins: using Tristana's mobility to catch isolated targets, and splitpushing a side lane and forcing the enemy to answer it. The kit grades 8/10 mobility, 7/10 split-push. Play around where Tristana is thin, engage and roaming (3/10, 2/10), and the enemy loses their angle.

The most-played core build is Yun Tal Wildarrows, Infinity Edge, Navori Flickerblade, which holds a 54.0% win rate across 8,290 games this patch. Set the enemy team at the top of the page to see how the path shifts against that comp.

The matchup to respect is Karthus, where Tristana sits at just 44.7%, the lane swings the other way into Ashe (63.0%), and on the team side, Tristana gains the most from a Zilean (+14.4% pair win rate).
