Who Wins
- Pre-6 you are actually favored in sustained poke using Q rockets to outrange Tristana's early short range, but Tahm Kench's W makes all-ins unreliable; post-6 Tristana's R is a hard counter to your immobility, and you lose the 2v2 unless Thresh lands a hook first to prevent her from jumping on you.
Synergy & Trading
- Your best pattern is to stay at maximum Q rocket range, poke with autos and W traps to zone Tristana off the wave, and only commit to a full fight after Thresh has landed a hook and you have your E chompers placed to prevent her from E-jumping onto you safely.
Wave Control/Roaming
- You want to freeze the wave near your tower when possible to deny Tristana the ability to E onto you without walking into Thresh's hook range; if you are ahead, slow-push a large wave to crash and roam with Thresh, as your R can secure kills across the map once you have items.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not stand in a position where Tristana can E onto you without Thresh's hook being available, because Tahm Kench W will eat any hook Thresh throws and you will be left alone against a Tristana bomb with no escape tool.
