malphite kept throwing q's and kalista still managed to kite him all the way from out inhib to first mid tower before her backup arrived.
how can people cry and complain about zed, riven, akali, kat, and ahri when kalista can do that all while pouring out massive damage
gut kalista pls

I've finally caught up to you, prepare to die!
What Malphite didn't realize is that Kalista stacked Rend 1287392183719 times before he finally got close to her.
Lol bye. presses E
lanterns
AN ALLY HAS BEEN SLAIN!
kirbyzama10 votesUmm...not to be that guy but I'm gonna be that guy. Her dashes scale with her boot tier not her movespeed. Reducing her movespeed effects her about as much as it would Leblanc or Lee Sin. She would have a harder time with Nasus and his attack speed slow. Frozen Heart and Randuins also indirectly slow her too.Yeah she is annoying and I won't take stand on her op'ness but at least understand how she works before complaining.
One thing to consider with Kalista is that her optimal build path is Botrk and Hurricane. She doesn't build damage multipliers like crit or tri-force early if at all. Auto for auto she does quite a bit less dmg then other adcs.
Yandere Carry1 votesthat's his point. her movespeed was next to nothing yet he had literally no chance of catching up to kali.
Celeste Benal2 votesinorite? I had some bronzies complaining about my Kalista build the other day, saying "Every ADC should build AD first." and "You should be rushing IE." They just couldn't understand why I was building AS.
Pucking Purrfect7 votesCry me a river.
The Bard Dog23 votesCry me a river.
if you don't think she's absurdly broken you're a moron. or haven't had your smite invalidated by her infinite stacking ad scaling e. or been kited as a highly mobile champion by her.
Dengeden7 votesPeople always find something to moan about. I can't wait for the Trist QQ to begin again :)
Ace Access 2 votesPeople always find something to moan about. I can't wait for the Trist QQ to begin again :)
but I just unlocked her * cries like a spoiled brat *
seriously though has there been a champ that hasn't gotten flak just because their previous flak target got nerfed/fixed/balanced etc etc
Lysdexic16 votesShe is squishy and has one of the lowest damages of any adc.... in lane she is at a disadvantage and late game her damage scaling isn't all that great. all she does have is her ability to kite. It really says something that Malphite was still alive when she got to the first mid tower, don't you think?

He had a randuin's frozen heart, sunfire, and warmogs. of course he was still alive.

DarkenedSoul4203 votesThornmail doesn't affect kallista kiting malphite..just sayin
Skoonie1 votesIt basically kills any AS centric champ in the game; how does it not?
CarrierKestral1 voteswrong, it kills Basic attack Damage Centric champions. wayne laughs at thronmalz, as does varrus and corki.
Junkο1 votesLast time i checked Kalista is AD centric. She needs to AA to deal mobility and her Q and E deal a ton of physical damage. She often buys items like IE and Botrk too.
Ariel the Cruel1 votesHer Q and E don't proc Thornmail. Her E stacks are at least half her damage most games.
Thornmail primarily counters champs where 70%+ damage comes from AA's. Like most ADC's.
Junkο1 votesI swear Thornmail used to reflect spells too, oh well, mb there.
Still late game Kalista will AA a lot, so it will still hurt her a lot.
Lysdexic16 votesAnd? In half the map worth of orbwalking any other adc would have shredded him down to nothing.
ZephyrDrake6 votesso... a champion that is meant to kite managed to kite the stupid Malphite that chases half way through the map? i would rather buff the brain of that malph player
SouL1ess4 votesWell here's the thing...anyone without a direct gapcloser gets screwed over by kalista. Kalista is basically immune to the Make-MS-difference-and-then-catch-up strategy.
Not gonna say its OP or UP...but the fact remains as is.
Leti the Yeti5 votes
considering the average udyr reaches near perpetual 600 move speed with a stun, high tenacity, and slow resist
I'd say he would catch up to kalista easy ;o
Gunpoint16 votesThink again, I play Udyr often, and when faced with Kalista, even after building Randuins, Frozen Heart, Triforce, Boots of Swiftness w/ Furor, Devourer, and Botrk, I couldn't catch her. She's broken.
Leti the Yeti4 votesyour builds different frm mines, you dont move nearly as fast lol
i have movespeed quints and the move speed fro mastery tree
and with some bear spamming, I have about 600 move speed
I catch up real easily, idk
Gunpoint24 votesREALLY shouldn't need all that just to catch up to Kalista.
Leti the Yeti4 votesgood thing I dont build to CATCH people I built to RUN from people xD
its when there happens to be a fight nearby< i can speedily get there and anyone who tries to get away, cant cuz im way faster than them
Duke Anax3 votesEven then, you won't catch her, Not even Rammus can keep up with her.
Leti the Yeti1 votesThat seems highly implausible I dont suppose you know the dash range on her passive?
Duke Anax1 votesNo, But I heard a complaint from a Rammus player that repeatedly failed to catch her.
This Fkin Guy1 votesI hate this build so much. It literally made Udyr go from a serious pick to I hope they don't play like Trick.
Leti the Yeti1 votesI hate this generalization so much. It literally made me go from a serious player to being viewed as a trick2g wannabe
when did split pushing become instantly associated with trick2g
lojician2 votesWhen you do it while expecting your team to passively 4v5.
Leti the Yeti1 votesoh, this raised some interesting thoughts, ima go make my own thread instead of debating it here
This Fkin Guy1 votesWe needed your help during laning phase, what did you do? Farm jungle. We needed your help protecting towers, what did you do? Farm jungle. We needed your help pushing as 5, what did you do? Farm jungle. Do you see my point here?
Leti the Yeti1 voteswho? me? here we go again with those generalizations I have no idea who the fk you're talking bout I know I'm jungler first and split pusher 2nd, expect ganks in the first 15 minutes of the game
and you guys really are a whole new level of incompetent if you cant defend 1 turret with 4 people... wait what? YOU GUYS DONT HAVE A TEAM COMP FOR SIEGING???? tell me more about how a gap closerless MELEE champ is gonna help you out
cant take a tower in a 4 man siege? read the above cuz while you fkers need a whole group just to push for some dumbass reason, Im pushing 2 lanes at once I should be calling you out for being underproductive and wasting time on a silly siege
not so fun having all these "you" directed at you eh? :D
This Fkin Guy1 votesWhat is more common? The Udyr that completely ignores his team to split push-afk farm all game? Or the other 4 team mates that are struggling with the 4v5, while Udyr farms the jungle all game?
Leti the Yeti1 votesI would say the other isnt very common farming jungle becomes a side hobby as you pass by them goning from lane to lane :D
arguably more productive than whatever the fk the rest of the team is doing i think everyone could benefit from being selfish
udyr's to do list
everyone elses' to do list
Rikari3 votesI once kited a katarina and trundle as Kalista. Her mobility is 90% of what her kit is worth. If you dont have any way of locking her down don't bother. You think malph will survive till mid tower against 
?
Gunpoint16 votesI think Malph would kill about half of those alone.
ABlueQuaker3 votes...so why didn't Malphite ult Kalista?
Hell Week2 votesA good kalista player needs the help of her support, if her support isn't good... she will fail so bad. Specially if her support just keeps on throwing.
Zoroastrian1 votesWhat about when she's played in the top lane? Then she doesn't need a support. She will destroy any melee champ.
Hell Week1 votesMeh kalista isn't a threat to me tbh... unless she got fed... then it's a different story. She's so squishy bro, you can easily combo her once and she's dead - with darius, yi, wukong, there's a lot of melee champs that kill her easy. It's all how the game goes, a champ IS MADE OP, they don't start the game already OP. It's like every other champ if you know how to use the champ, you will succeed.
Zoroastrian1 votesShe can dodge all skillshots as long as there is something to auto. That is OP. If you don't have a direct gap closer like Yi and Darius, you won't kill her.

QFT
Ulquiorra9952 votesSure, Kalista may be a bit obnoxious, but this is bullshit. Malphite kept throwing slows at a character basically immune to slows and couldn't catch her. What a surprise. Might as well say "He kept throwing his Q at Kassadin but he escaped, nerf pls", since it's the same.
What could have happened is next: Maplhite ults to instantly close the gap and get some damage. Then follows up with his AS slow. He also still has Randuins and FH's AS slow. Your Malph didn't utilize any of instant gap closers or multiple AS slows which all weaken Kali's passive enough to catch up.
Also, if you got kited that far by, say, Vayne or Lucian, you'd be dead before their backup arrives.
Stars Shaper1 votesMalphite chasing a champion that he knows he cannot catch has nothing to do with the outcome of the fight.
If there is one thing that LCS ppl get right is to not mindlessly chasing enemies.
Knight SoIaire 1 voteshow can people cry and complain about zed, riven, akali, kat, and ahri when kalista can do that all while pouring out massive damage
pick anything that has good point and click cc which allows your team to burst her down, kalista doesnt exist at all in the game pick something with good point and click damage ... kalista got removed
the main problem is that all of kalistas counterplay is in champion select, instead of being in game
