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:

Pros

    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

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

Cons

    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)


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)
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^^.

EDIT: Tested it out, if you want to get ignored entirely, use this build^^.
Feel free to have a look at one of my champion Guides:




Or have a short look at my champion ideas.

... 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.

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.

Trist has no threat in teamfights without damage.

Elohell is like Irelia's stun: if your real level is equal or lower than the level you are in, you're STUNNED there forever. If your actual level is higher than the level you are in, you're just SLOWED in your way up.

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 **** just die already'.

That being said, fun does not equal effectiveness.
