If not for both kat and kayle hitting hard early on and dominating the farm, I would have farmed better. However, AP Trist does work. I have done well in games as pure AD, pure AP, and hybrid (though never this build sequence exactly ._.) and I have been shown, by a friend who is pretty damn good, the workings of AP Trist.
Anyway, I played as defensively as I feasibly could, and pulled off least deaths. Not too shoddy.
And of course, everyone else was fantastic.
Good game to all involved. We need to arrange another match sooner or later. I'll pick up a better AD Trist game in the meantime, and maybe pick up another new champ or two.
