Kalista W and R rework ideas
Hey Everyone! In this diskussion I want to summ up the reasons why Kalista is one of the worsest adcs and tell you some sollutions and ideas for a new W and a new R. First of all, excuse me when there are some mistakes in the text because I am from germany. But now I want to start. I've red a poste before called "Can Kalista get a rework (dead champions)" There was told that Kalistas passiv jumps the reason are why she so bad is. But in my opinion the jumps only make her weaker because she cant use all of her attack speed when you jump. But I think her passive should stay like it is because it makes her different as an adc.
To make her passiv jumps better she could gain like 2000% or 3000% of her bonus attack speed as bonus ad for the attack where she jumps or for the following attack.
The main reason why Kalista is so bad is that her W is useless and that she need her bound champion - mostly the supporter - to use her ultimate. Without her support she has only 2 real abilities. Also you have to play her in the bot lane. Otherwise she has only 2 abilities to use. And if you play her in the bot lane you’ll need a tank as support. When you habe a supporter like Lulu she’ll die when you use your ultimate. Then her ultimate is almost as wasted as her W in this game. Another bad think about her ult is that many people don’t understant what it does or don’t want to go in. I played like 3 or 4 aram games with Kalistas and only in 1 game my mate used my ult to knock the enemies up. In all other games my mates wasted my ult and used it to get back… And they were tanks… That’s why Kalista is only very good when you play with a premate.
My idea for the active of Kalistas W is that her basic attacks fly trough the first enemy she hits and stuck in the second enemy (or in both). An other idea I have is that her basic attacks also make damage to all enemies in the way between her and her target. Both actives should be like 4 to 5 seconds.
An other passiv - maybe of her ult - could be that she gains 10%/13%/15% of the armor and magic resist of the champion who is bound to her when he is near Kalista. That would be an option to keep the idea with a bound champion.
Now lets get to her ultimate. I am thinking of an R which increase Kalistas range and her ad a bit or her spears which stuck in the enemies let them bleed a bit instead of more ad what would be much better in my opinion. Also Kalistas ultimate could activate one of the ideas of the W like the W does damage to enemies in the way of her auto attacks and her ultimate let the spears hit an enemy behind the target. I think that would be enough for an ultimate but if it is still to weak, her E could also deal damage to champions next to the enemy who has spears in him when activate it.
What do you think about this rework ideas? I hope you enjoy what you read. Also i will post another text with more than 15 item ideas and 2 or 3 new rune ideas in the next days.
