The top champions globally to counter Tristana include Nidalee, Gragas, and Lee Sin. These are all great at countering Tristana with decent win rates over 58%. Even if these Tristana counter picks are not picked opposite your position, it's not smart to play her into these matchups. They will likely crush Tristana.
Yet, if the enemy team choses either Teemo or Lillia, you should seriously think about taking her, as she easily destroys these champs with win rates over 51% against each ofthem.
Tristana can be a lethal adversary, especially with her slow on her W ability. However, her W can also lead to her downfall if used recklessly due to her squishy nature. Try to bait her into making a poor W move to get an easy kill.
Preventing Tristana from getting her fully charged E off is key. If you manage to distance yourself from her, it won't reset her W, making her escape difficult.
Exploit Tristana's weak early game. Her E without Q is quite ineffective during this time, and she won't have any external attack speed at this point. If she uses her E carelessly, look for a chance to engage.
Keep Tristana from gaining an early advantage. She thrives on obtaining early objectives, so don't let her destroy towers early on as this will quickly put her ahead in the game.
Tristana's power drastically falls when she's behind. Make sure to apply pressure on her during the early game to delay her item build, making her a less effective player in the game.
Tristana is heavily dependent on her Ultimate R, which she can use both defensively and offensively. Try to engage her when her Ultimate R is on cooldown to mitigate her damage output and self-peeling ability.
Remember, Tristana is the safest carry late into the game, especially when her abilities are maxed. Stay vigilant even when she's not ahead and focus on her, as she has the potential to turn around fights with her high damage output.
