Oathsworn Ability Path for Kalista (Just a thought).

I was thinking about when linked together with Kalista, it will provide more than just Soul-Marking and Fate's Call. When leveling Fate's Call, Kalista is provided to further improve her Oathsworn (in similar as Kha'Zix Evolution). Some are an example:

  1. Example (Protector): Oathsworn gets extra health similar as Malphite if bonded together, Kalista herself will take reduced damage, while the remaining damage will transfer to the Oathsworn, dealing damage to the extra health. Goes on CD when depleted (Half when the bond breaks).
  2. Example (Avenger): If Oathsworn takes damage, percentage of damage taken will amplify Kalista next basic attack or her Pierce. Same goes to Kalista when she takes damage and amplify her Oathsworn basic attack. Has a flat threshhold of containing their amplified damage.
  3. Example (Savior): When bonded, they run faster towards their bonded ally. If Oathsworn gets healed through any source, Kalista gets healed as well by a percentage.

This will make her powerful only when their souls are connected.

Thoughts? Just want to hear your ideas as well. :)

Also anyone for Mummy Kalista? The bond looks similar as Azir's sand link to his Sand Soldier.

Currently, her place in PBE is pretty strong, not in the sense of just numbers but in straight up utility to her lane partner (which is usually the oathsworn ally). If they made a change like this, they would need to switch her around from a decent-lane-phase-above-average-wombocombo champ to terrible-early-game-amazing-late-game to make up for all the extra utility that these enchantments (no other real way to name the mechanic you explained) provide to Kalista.

And let's face it, EVERYBODY would take the avenger enchantment first (if they can choose between them all in any order) at level 6 just to have that increased level 6 burst damage. It would make Kalista so snowbally once level 6 rolls around having that retaliation damage for her first auto followed by rend damage after a few more autos.
