H4x: The point of a tanky, defensive comp is to keep the AD safe without having to pick a survivable AD. You shouldn't need a survivable AD in this situation, and if you were to pick one, it certainly wouldn't be twitch with his delayed stealth. Ez/Corki/Cait are much more survivable and Kog/Vayne/Trist have higher late game damage. I still don't see the point in picking Twitch. Even if he's an effective choice, it doesn't make him the optimal pick.
Acid: As far as I know, they're still considered top tier. I regard the AD carry role as so closely balanced that there's not much difference between tier 1 and 2. Even tier 3 ADs can carry as well as anyone, they just aren't as solid all-around.
I know throatslasher has a higher opinion of cait and trist (I think he said he considers trist the #1 AD or something), but I don't know enough about AD balance to make any changes. I'm basically just going off my own impressions as well as the most common opinion, which may of course be wrong.

*sees Ez, Graves, and Corki both not in tier 1 and on the same tier as MF*

Tristana has:
Great burst.
A fairly solid early game.
An attack speed steroid.
An AoE knockback.
A long range jump for engages/disengages that resets upon kill or assist.
A healing debuff.
Long autoattack range late game.
Overall I think her burst, mobility and high late game range are what make her really unique.

She has extremely high kill lane potential due to her burst, so good early game.
She isn't great mid game, but she's not bad either
Lategame, her passive has fully kicked in, and she's become a carry.
-She has the best AS steroid in the game
-She has a long range jump, that resets, allowing for good positioning
-She has a grievous wound
-She has the best knockback in the game
-She has the highest range in the game minus kog and twitch's range steroids
She has her reasons :)

Somehow I don't see a "protect the twitch" comp being any stronger than one with Kog, Trist or Vayne.
Hes harder to jump on and his ult melts teams.
