Kalista is too weak.

Champion.gg - Kalista ADC Stats, Builds, Runes, Masteries and Counters

Just looking at the win rate of Kalista alone makes any Kalista main want to cry. As you go further into her match ups and win rates in lane based on her enemy laners, the numbers are horrible. She, on average, gets by with a 44% win rate in general, and also has the lowest damage out put of any ADC currently. Yes, I too am just as scared of season 5 Kalista, but I really do believe kalista was gutted a little bit too hard. I understand her kit is quite loaded, but shes extremely fun to play. As a kalista main, I don't enjoy going even in lane, or even ahead, and still not being able to carry my games simply because I don't pump out enough damage to even deal with the weakest of foes. I don't have any ideas as to how she should be buffed, but I just felt like if I put out my opinions and brought this to any rioters attention, that maybe I could help bring a buff along sometime soon. Any ideas or questions? Comment below! Thanks for listening!

Basically, you change her hopping into an active skill and get rid of sentinel.

Kalista needs a straight up update to be balanced. Riot made a champion that can kite to well and works extremely well in LCS, but was only decent in Soloqueue because it needed so much communication to fully utilize Kalista's kit with the support. Now they nerfed her to make her fair for LCS, but garbage for Soloqueue.

"increase base movement speed" ahahahhaa yea, because kalista actually use that, right?

that'd be the most useless especially with her passive.

here's the thing, ADCs are never meant to be THAT level of mobile, and so, she gets the 90% AD only in her autos.

aslong as that passive exist, she will continou being a problem until addressed, good luck there.

even her hoping isnt that bad to deal with, tons of champs have point click cc. that being said, maybe its a passive that should be tied to her R? so only accessible at lvl 6?

Kalista has to be weak in her current state. Her kit is pure cancer otherwise. She needs a Poppy/Sion level rework.

Her passive is unique and needs to be focuse don. Riot acknowledged that players enjoyed it when Kalista gave players a fun new feel to adc by hopping around and being able to re position seamlessly. They screwed the pooch when they tried to tag on being a heavily support reliant AD as well. She needs to be reworked, to focus more around self peel and kiting so she can maximize her damage. She's an ADC that does very little damage at all stages of the game and it's really saddening.

I don't really like the fact that her Ult requires a partner, lol. They should change that to where she can solo ult. Would be nice to play her in a lane other than Bot.

You should probably just accept that Kalista is a team champ that cannot function properly without voice communication and a good working relationship with your support.

It's a lot easier that way. None of us want SKT to sweep another World's.
