Compare trip to distracting strike... I mean sheesh unless your only attacking ally is seriously going to be 1 ranged combatant why ever would you consider it?
I am up for situationally valuable maneuvers but you really need to know a lot more to justify things at all like that never mind its not justified.
Perhaps distracting strike needs to be against an adjacent enemy and affect ranged attacks against them (you take the attention all on yourself leaving the enemy open to attacks which are from outside of its immediate focus) ... hence all ranged attacks are at advantage against them. A distracted enemy would also have disadvantage on reactions / opportunity attacks against anyone but the one who distracted them until there turn.
