Historical versus modern

Ability names differ between historical 3.15.5 and modern 16.14.1 (Explosive Shot); values and mechanics still require Classic launch-client verification.

Tristana, the Megling Gunner, is documented here from Riot's 3.15.5 historical snapshot. The ADC / Mid labels are an editorial navigation taxonomy, not launch-patch usage statistics.

Three-layer build system

Tristana build evidence

Only layers with qualifying evidence are shown. Creator-tested and launch-verified layers are absent until their evidence gates pass.

No. The displayed historical references come from Riot Data Dragon 3.15.5; observed and launch-verified value fields remain null.
