You can replace boots with Zephyr if the game goes on that long for a little extra damage and not much MS loss if you want. You can also invest in elixirs for a little more stats.

Most games will not go as long as that game, though. Probably something you could work on is taking objectives whenever you kill an opponent. Use pings to get your team to focus a tower or take baron.

yeah a couple of things kept the game from ending when it should:

1. We almost lost at one point, losing all three inhibitors and both nexus turrets, so we had to fight back from that
2. Being down 4v5 made it harder
3. As you can imagine, we're not that good.

Tris and Cait were my two champions I played most in S3 as ADC. Hell, I played Tris mid AP more than a little. Heck, my match history still has an April match with Tris in it.

you should sell GA whenever the passive is on CD and replace it with another defensive item. you can rebuy GA 5 minutes later once it's off cd. selling and rebuying GA will not reset the cd.

Why is every kha'zix I've seen recently tank kha. Even better, why has it won every game I've seen?

you should sell GA whenever the passive is on CD and replace it with another defensive item. you can rebuy GA 5 minutes later once it's off cd. selling and rebuying GA will not reset the cd.

If you find that you aren't dying in teamfights, you could conceivably sell your GA for an offensive item.

Generally speaking, Static Shiv is a better (or at least more common?) item than PD on trist (it capitalizes on the innate waveclear from her AOE damage). You could sell your boots and buy a zephyr. Also, Red and Blue elixirs are excellent when you're item-capped (or even when you aren't in some cases).

PD is better at endgame. The reason trist rushes shiv sometimes is that it lets her accelerate her farming and hit her power spike sooner, even if it's a slighter spike.

PD has 10% AS and 10% crit at the cost of the waveclear passive and 300g.

yeah PD is superior stat wise, just more expensive. Shiv you can get the gold generation bit and that is slightly useful

I haven't looked in a while but 4 IE used to do more damage than any other 4 items, it's just normally an unattainably expensive build. If you were sitting on enough money it's possible you could have sold into it.

Tristana is the only adc in the game that I have played and enjoyed.

And I played her and enjoyed her in all of the previous seasons.

I've long felt that Tristana's Q is one of the most fun abilities in the game. Then again, I love destroying turrets

I seriously hate vayne. I don't enjoy anything about her as a champion.

I do enjoy doing well, but that's regardless of the champion. I hate everything to do with jungling but will still enjoy doing well in the role.
