Tanktana - Could it work?

[quote=Isolanporzellator]Well, I just started to think about building [[Tristana]] as a tank/bruiser in top lane. Here are pros and cons that came to my mind: [columns][nextcol width=500][center][color=#00ff00][b][h3]Pros[/h3][/b][/color] [list] You can zone most toplaners early because of range You can easily escape ganks or mad laners with W You have high base damage with your abilities [icon = Rocket Jump size = 15][icon = Buster Shot size = 15] enemies in your teammates when ganking You have huge AoE slow with [[Rocket Jump]] and [[Randuin's Omen]] You have the reset to help your carry catch anyone with your slow You have high AS from your Q (permaslow with [[Frozen Mallet]]) Because enemies think of [[Tristana]] as a carry, they will often focus you instinctively You can get close to their carry to debuff or reposition him without dying [/list][/center][nextcol][center][color=#ff0000][b][h3]Cons[/h3][/b][/color] [list] She has no innate tankiness She has no hard CC besides her ultimate, so you need teammates with heavy CC ([[Cho'Gath]] or [[Zac]] jungle, [[Ashe]]/[[Varus]] adc) as you can only peel with slows She is small You do no damage except for your ult (and W if you get resets) [/list][/columns][/center] [center]Strange idea, i know, want to hear your opinion, though. (I think she would be built like: [[Mercury's Treads]][[Frozen Mallet]][[Randuin's Omen]][[Banshee's Veil]][[Warmog's Armor]][[Guardian Angel]])[/center] [center]As for me, I don't expect her to be viable, but I think it could be fun to play her in a different way^^.[/center] [center][b]EDIT: Tested it out, if you want to get ignored entirely, use this build^^.[/b][/center][/quote]

[quote=Darcurse]... no You don't even understand how many of your "pros" are wrong or actually are pros for playing her as ADC... You don't waste damage potential on a damage dealer in order to make it "easier" to land some minor CCs. And no, it's no fun to drop the damage part on a frail champ in order to make him below mediocre tanky in order to be able to do nothing.[/quote]

[quote=Bweezle]This would only, in any way at all, work if you played her AP. AP Tank itemization is fantastic as the moment so, in theory, it could work.[/quote]

[quote=tehAsian]Trist has no threat in teamfights without damage. /thread.[/quote]

[quote=DillButt64]one time i played tank ashe and went 1/12/3[/quote]

[quote=luizdeh]I played tank [[ashe]] in a custom Howling Abyss All ADC game. Had a blast and a positive KDA. People went from 'rofl ashe built randuin's' to 'holy shit just die already'. That being said, fun does not equal effectiveness.[/quote]

[quote=throatslasher]People would literally ignore you, at least smart people[/quote]
