[GAMEPLAY] How do you find that bug:

Play kalista
Buy some ad items and rank up related ability to max level
hit any target with 5-6 or more spears and consume ability
look at damage dealt then read ability tooltip. To compare that damage.
now sell ad items and stack same amount of spears again.
look at damage and it should be almost same, because additional spears not scaling off attack damage.

So the damage is notably low, because it seems like additional spears not adding bonus damage what scales of ad, and the only base 31 damage is stacking making this ability really unworthy.

Tested on drag with standard offensive masteries (drag had 21 armor for all tests involved)

103 ad: 92 per aa, 106 maxed 1 stack rend, 218 maxed 5 stack rend (should be around 328 if the tooltip were correct) 245 ad: 216 per aa, 180 maxed 1 stack rend, 292 maxed 5 stack rend (should be around 551 if the tooltip were correct)

Yeah, this is stupid. You can see a clear 112 damage gap between 1 stack and 5 stacks in both instances, where the damage gap should be much higher in the second instance.

Oh, and in case anyone was wondering, this bug wasn't around in 4.20, so if you felt like your E was doing less damage now, it is not a placebo. http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/EYhPWYmY-kalista-max-stacks-damage

This really needs to get fixed ASAP. They hotfixed the j4 bug where his ult did too much damage in a couple of hours, but this bug, which makes kalista basically completely nonviable, sticks around for long after the initial patch.

Yeah, it looks like additional spears don't add the AD scaling portion of the stacks, only the Base.

Bump. Maybe if the front page of the bug forum is loaded with these threads, riot might finally notice something is wrong.

This needs to be fixed. Kalista is fun but now it is hard to play her knowing that you can't do the max damage possible.

...this has been fixed, actually. It was fixed shortly after my last bump, hence why I stopped bumping all these threads. Kalista is still a bit weak, of course, but she's definitely better off than she was before.
