Statistical Matchup Analysis

With 5.3% popularity, Tristana constantly encounters meta-dominant Ezreal (10.6%, 7th place out of 30 ADC champions). Understanding how to play against this popular champion becomes essential for consistent Tristana performance in the current patch. Meta strength confirmed: Tristana's superior tier rating (B vs C) translates into a solid 52.1% matchup win rate. This performance explains why Tristana ranks 22nd in win rate among ADC champions. Optimize for consistency: Lethal Tempo paired with Triumph (52.4% win rate, 33.6% popularity) provides the stats you need, while the item sequence Yun Tal Wildarrows > Infinity Edge > Lord Dominik's Regards with Berserker's Greaves delivers 72.0% win rate against Ezreal.

Lane dominance: Tristana not only wins the matchup but crushes CS (6.47/min vs 6.18 for Ezreal). This 0.29 CS/min advantage generates significant gold leads that compound your already favorable position. Quality over quantity: Tristana wins through smart play rather than raw damage - despite lower DPS (699 vs 812/min), the 52.1% win rate shows superior utility, positioning, and team fight impact. Intriguing anomaly: Tristana wins the matchup (52.1%) despite a lower KDA (2.40 vs 2.50). This suggests you win through macro influence and clutch plays in key moments rather than consistent individual performance.

How to Beat Ezreal as Tristana (ADC)

The Tristana versus Ezreal matchup as ADC is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.

Except for rare builds, Tristana deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Ezreal has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.

An important advantage of Tristana is higher farming statistics (ranked 23rd among role champions) (versus 28th for Ezreal), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.5 versus 2.4) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Tristana ADC versus Ezreal ADC matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Tristana player to maintain constant pressure on Ezreal, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
