How to Buff Kalista

Poske·Aug 11, 2016·3 votes·907 views

Main issue with kalista atm is the fact that slow breaks her legs. Y sounds about right

So how about this:

If Kalista uses Rend she removes ALL slows from herself or this If kalista uses her Q she removes all slows from herself

Rend is her E ability for those who dont know

Thoughts?

"how to make kalista busted" she needs a rework before buffs.

Can you explain how this makes her busted

If she uses e to fix her legs. Then its really likely that her e will do pathetic dmg + its ultra likely that she wont resset it

So there is a clear trade off

Kalista is fantastic against champions who can be kited Kalista is horrible against any slow in the game

Its not like almost every champion has a slow and then there is also randium / iceborn / mallet / rylai oh and that frost queen claim to

Playing her against Rylai azir = You dont have legs Playing her against Iceborn Ezreal = you dont have legs Playing her against Nasus = Ehm sad story Playing her against Rylai Brand = Oh well 6 second slow or so.. FUN TIMES

I think kalista is healthy champion atm. She has clear strenghts and clear weakness (Well maybe to clear weakness atm) I actually dont think she can be polarizing again because there are just way to many champions which can constantly slow her

This isn't a matter of "What do you think" or "What's your opinion".

Riot has stated several times in the past that she's being kept overnerfed on purpose because her kit is basically toxic and she needs a partial or full rework.

The end.

But I think this is the correct way of buffing her without breaking her

I am aware that Simple number changes wont fix her

I dont want her to be another aatrox. We ll have to wait until 2025 for her rework

All this buff would would be to make it impossible for some champions to ever catch her. She already kites some champs so hard you may as well just walk away rather than try to play against her.

All in all you can't just remove a built in weakness from a champ and call it a fair buff. That would be like giving Vayne normal adc attack range.

She's a pretty damn mobile marksman. Giving her a slow cleanse on top of her main farming ability that resets if you kill a minion with it? That's only going to make it more difficult for champions that rely on a slow just to catch up with her.

When a champion has a defining characteristic that is also somewhat problematic, such as Kalista's mobility, you can't outright remove it but you shouldn't buff its ability to give people aneurysms. Buff her poke, adjust her base AD or scalings, but I really don't think she needs protection against her kiting's counter.

She is as mobile as snail in any game I see her due to how much CC and slows there are in league She has 45% winrate

You obviously dont play kalista else You would know how the slow change completly destroyed her

Sure we can put 2.0 Ad scalling on her q But whats the point. She is still ULTRA non enjoyable to play since she turns into a delayed snail once she gets slowed. And then you would create other issues Like kalista outclassing varus etc

So yeah I think the Slow cleanse which would ussualy be trade of for damage is they way to go

even if lets say Nasus slows her. She would have to aa him then use e By the time she does that he is on her. So its not as effective as you think.

If she get engaged on she would still get fked up

I dont even want to mention that there are champions who can constantly apply slows there are items who can do it

Kalista is not viable we can let her root or we can fix her

She needs changes, like a mini-rework, not just a straight out buff. COnsider people who have to play against her, not just the ones playing her.

Anyway, even if she did have a slow cleanse, her E would be the worst skill to have it. Her E can affect multiple targets, reset (which, with a slow cleanse, would be annoying AF in lane), not to mention it already applies a slow to targets.

The only way I could possibly see a slow cleanse on Kalista is if she were to take summoner 1 , or it were applied to her Q or something, but we shouldn't overload her signature ability even further.

When a frustrating champion has a weakness to counter what makes it frustrating, the last thing you want to do is give them a bandaid to completely negate it.

Dude I feel sorry for kalista every time i slow her. I feel sorry with the fact that the champion is unplayable but hey find me 1 person who recently played against kalista and finds her unhealthy

Dude I would accept that effect on Q

I actually think it would be more healthy On E . Since she would have to trade potentional lots of damage yes there is that resset interaction but I dont think that should happen in more then 10% of cases

Anyway i just want that effect on her. Obviously putting it on W and R would be wierd

Only reason I went with E over Q is because I think that she would have to trade more

But hey if you think that q is more healthy fine .. I ll edit and mention it can be on q TO or say q/e
