Tristana bekommt neuen Look

Riot Games hat jetzt angekündigt, dass Tristana eine Überarbeitung erhalten wird. Neben dem Äußerlichen wird es auch eine Änderung an einer ihrer Fähigkeiten geben. Explosive Charges, Tristanas E, wird den alten aktiven Effekt verlieren und einen neuen erhalten. „Das soll vor allem ihr Late Game schwächen“, so Miles ‚RiotVesh‘ Miller, einer der Verantwortlichen bei Riot Games.

Zu den Veränderung von Tristanas E-Fähigkeit meinte RiotVesh außerdem:

Old Trist was a late game powerhous who didn’t really have clearly defined weaknesses. She had insane range and speed with her basic attacks, and even when she did get caught, she had a decent knock back AND a lengthy jump that let her GTFO. Now, instead of operating as an uber safe right-clicker, new Tristana’s power is windowed, with huge power spikes when she’s played to meet specific goals.

Neue Explosive Charge-Fähigkeiten-Beschreibung:

E – Explosive Charge

Passive: Whenever Tristana kills a unit, her shot explodes, dealing damage to all nearby enemies.

Active: Tristana attaches a charge to a nearby enemy unit or turret. After a few seconds, the charge detonates, dealing damage to the target and all nearby enemies. Attacking the target with basic attacks amps the charge up, making it deal extra damage as it explodes. Tristana can also Rocket Jump onto a target with Explosive Charge for extra damage.

Neben der neuen Fähigkeit wurde, wie in der Einleitung oben schon angesprochen, auch das Aussehen Tristanas komplett verändert. Zu den Veränderungen hatte natürlich der Senior Concept Artist bei Riot Games Michael ‚RiotIronstylus‘ Maurino auch etwas zu sagen:

Tristana was one of those older champions who was – as Vesh has put it – a bit of a blob. We started looking at Tristana through the champion update lens and knew we wanted to bring in a wholesale change, updating her model, textures, rig, and animations until she felt like a unique part of the yordle family. That’s right – she’s now officially a yordle, too! Her appearance is slightly more feral and nature-themed than before, with wilder eyes and animalistic ears that steer her away from little girl territory and towards yordle status. Tristana’s cannon is now a full expression of her, too, thanks to exaggerated animations that we’ve added to the cannon itself whenever she uses Rocket Jump or Buster Shot.
