Who Wins

Pre-6, you win the level 2 all-in decisively because your E+Q lockdown into Tristana's W jump burst exceeds what Alistar and Ezreal can output or survive, and Alistar's W+Q requires more setup time than your immediate lockdown; post-6, your R adds a point-and-click stun that chains into Tristana's full combo, and Ezreal's E is the only real escape tool — if you R him first, he dies before he can use it.

Your best trading pattern is to E onto Ezreal (the squishier, less mobile target when his E is on cooldown) rather than Alistar, apply Q stun, and let Tristana W jump and stack charges on him; Alistar's W+Q is dangerous to you only if you are the one being engaged on, so forcing him to react to your engage rather than initiating his own is key.

You should roam aggressively after a successful all-in that burns Ezreal's flash or forces a recall, as Tristana can shove the wave and take plates alone with her range advantage; mid roams at level 6 with your R are high-value because most mid laners cannot handle a Leona R into their laner's follow-up, and Tristana does not need you present to farm safely.

Do not engage when Alistar's W+Q is clearly available and you have no minion wave to absorb his headbutt — being W+Q'd back into the enemy team while your E is on cooldown leaves Tristana in a 1v2 she will likely lose, and it completely wastes your engage pattern.
