Tristana vs Samira Matchup Summary

The Tristana vs Samira matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 136 recent matches analyzed, Samira wins with a 54.4% win rate compared to Tristana's 45.6%, giving Samira a 8.8 percentage point advantage. Samira dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights.
