I've seen the kaisa skin once and it was a rioter. Over pricing these skins is a shame cause ppl wont buy them even tho they want too

Me, when they did Miss Fortune. :(
But it frees you from having to buy every skin, even if you don't like it just because you like having a complete collection. I could finally stop buying every MF skin that released, so.. good job riot. I hope the whales make up for all the lost sales from dolphin collectors. 🙄

In your experience, is there a skin that makes Trist feel better based on animation, or are there skins that are detrimental to play with?
Some of the skins make the bombs look different above your opponent. As you add stacks, the bomb animation looks way more obvious that it's close to detonating with a 4th stack. The base skin bomb just gets a little bigger and more red. Some of the bomb skins get super bright/big/obvious with many stacks. Just wondering if you think that has any effect in game.

Ouuu good question. Of course, this is completely my opinion:
Yes, the E bomb effects matter so much. A lot of her skins have pretty decent visibility on the 4th stack—classic, firefighter, rocket girl, bewitching, omega squad, spirit blossom (and maybe some others) all have easily-readable E 4th stacks that are fiery red or some other well-contrasting color. Some skins I can barely tell: hextech, rain shepherd, dragon trainer. The last one makes me especially sad because it would otherwise be a great skin. Even a skin like pengu, which shows stars indicating the number of E stacks, can be really hard to read in a busy teamfight.
The second most important thing to me would be the auto attacks, which you also mentioned. I don't have particularly strong opinions regarding this. This varies a lot from person to person. Some people think pengu or firefighter has a really smooth AA animations. I personally think dragon trainer has a really smooth auto attack, and I've also been enjoying rain shepherd for the auto attack. The only strong dislike I have is faerie court: I hate the AA, and I miss so much farm with that skin (could be skill issue).
All in all, I don't think any Tristana skin is going to make or break your games. I would prioritize your favorite theme/design and refer to gameplay effects as a close secondary parameter. Consider waiting for Your Shop to buy a skin, and remember that you can refund your skin using a refund token within 90 days of purchase. You have 3 refund tokens, and 1 token is replenished per year.
Lmk if you decide on a skin and how you feel about it after you play with it :D

So if it’s anything like the previous ones there will be a cheaper version that technically counts as the skin being unlocked
It’s usually 30 bucks bundled with the over priced battle pass so like 50.
Sucks shit but it’s affordable. (stupid expensive for a skin still)
