Kalista "I'm here! I'm here, look at me! Acknowledge my cancerous existence! Pay attention to me! You heard me yell across the map right??"

She's like a really attention hungry girlfriend... Except she could actually kill you if she wanted to.

"This sound will CertainlyT tell you". Logged in for upvote, this cracked me up.

I don't get why she doesn't just use the same under-name indicator as Garen, Tahm Kench, Kindred, etc...

So basically the sound's global so the shout-casters know to switch to bot. Oh, who am I kidding? They don't leave bot.

Kalista doesn’t need any global sounds really.

Kalista doesn't need to exist really

^That's a joke, I don't actually want this innovative, yet slightly toxic champ to be removed. Most champs designed by CertainlyT do end up toxic. He still has some of the best character designs and lore ever, however, and I think it might be interesting for him to develop Runeterra and the champion lore.

I probably hate Kalista more than all of you,

I hear a challenge.

Which is why she has been nothing but lovetaps since her inception after one buff.

I mean, Kalista's ult shouldn't have a global sound, period. If I'm just farming in top lane, I don't give a flying shit that Kalista decided to save her support from a Blitz hook.

well if this is an aggressive ult, you could be a good samaritan and tp there and try to get a double...or give'em a triple =D

The same can be true with Ashe ult or Braum ult.

eh? i was almost 100% positive karthus had a global laugh or something that was implemented after his rework.

is this really not the case?

Kitsuki052 votes

yeah, I don't get why people keep complaining karthus doesn't make a global noise, he freaking laughs across the whole map as his giant sky beam is about to blow you up

Statue of Karthus' /d plays a global eagle sound.

It's hilarious.

He has a plethora of awesome lines for it that are shorter than that stuff Kalista says too :(

Yeah I agree - her ult should have a good range for the audio, but global? Eech :\

I fully support giving Karthus global ult sounds.

I also support removing Kalista's global sounds.

Personally, I would be happy with either.

You are just having a dance-off with the enemy top laner when suddenly "THEY SHALL NOT HAVE YOU". Rito pls why do I need to hear this while I cant show off my awesome Pentakill song lines with my GLOBAL ult.

Better question, why does her PASSIVE have a global sound? At least her ult has some reason for needing to know what's going on, what they hell do I care that she's bonded with someone?! All it tells me is that someone on her team will let her do more damage to me with autos.

Ulquiorra9951 votes

It is obviously there to tell you that Kalista has bound someone. I mean, since the occurrence that Kalista doesn't bond someone and thus gives up on half of her kit is so often, we absolutely need to know that she used it! It has way more global impact than, say, a lobal nuke like Requiem.

I thought Kalista was only supposed to be heard by her oathsworn, it really makes no sense

I assume its so that you aren't surprised when a Kalista summoner 12 to your lane and tosses a 5 charge Annie in your face.

So her stun is down?

My bad I meant it as full charge, so imminent tibbers stun. Point still stands. Though it also doesn't since I don't know anyone who uses the Ult Tp strategy on Kalista

Kas1271 votes

Well, then they would have to buff Soraka to scream "POTASSIUM" when casting her ult, which will obviously make her more cancerous than any other champ.

Do you want that? DO YOU REALLY WANT THAT???

I think Kalista's ulti and passive can be heared globally because she's a spirit. Karthus is a biach :c http://38.media.tumblr.com/f23b8433886a33e0e3f9b6be5b013c6a/tumblr_nvsugdNolX1s7ub96o1_400.gif

Karthus is not a spirit. Karthus is a middle-aged businessman which practices yoga and karate during his free time.

Agreed, and it scares the shit out of me aswell, i always think im getting ganked or something x.x

They said it's because Karthus' ult lines are longer but... I don't know if they're THAT much longer.

Fritterz1 votes

+1 for the use of the word Heck.

Karthus ult really SHOULD have a global sound.

But I wouldn't call that a buff.

In exchange for the style, it makes it so that people who are in shop (or otherwise not paying attention) will be more likely to notice, and use any heals/shields/invulnerability spells that they have.

Probably so you dont get suprised ulted from a bush.

ahferroin71 votes

I figured it out! It's so she can't use it as effectively as an ambush tool.

For example, assume that some crazy person has played Galio as a support for Kalista (this does actually work, but the Galio has to be really good at support). When both hit level six, galio leaves lane in clear vision of the enemy team, then covertly comes back just behind his team's outer turret. Kalista pushes lane past mid way, walks back through bush and picks up Galio with ult. After waiting almost to the timeout, Galio throws himself twards the enemy, and ults on arrival. Easy kills for Kalista. (a similar strategy works with a number of other champs as support, but Galio is just a good example).

absolutely ticks me off when I'm in fountain at start of the game and she's already yapping about the spear of vengeance or some shit.

seriously she's already toxic enough to play against as any champion with an important skillshot. do we really need to be subjected to her bullshit and taunts before the game even starts
