So now that kalista has been out for a while and is consistently on a sub 45% winrate (I can't find winrate ) i think it is time we can talk about what tweaks could change this. Personally she feels really strong with a premade however so i think all that she needs is a small buff which i propose should come in the form of an indicator of how much damage her e will do or maybe the same type of indicator as zed has where a shuriken will appear when the target of his ult will die from it. This will mean that it is easier to judge if a target in a close 2v2 need that one more spear before you change to the other champion or you can rend immediately and go for the support. It will also help with smiting objectives. I know i am not in the best level (gold/plat) but i can consistently compete with my jungler in smiting when taking objectives. This will also push her further into the identity of an objective control adc. I might be wrong when calling her an objective control adc since her laning is a bit sub par but i believe and feel that her rend makes up for it. Another nice thing would be to give her a range indicator like twitch expunge but that is hardly a buff after you learn the range.

TL;DR Give her an indicator of how much damage her rend will do Pros:

  1. A bit better dueling (only for very close situations)
  2. Better control of when to "smite" objectives Cons:
  3. It might be too hard to steal objectives if she is ahead and can out damage smite.

Kalista's winrate is quite possibly the most misleading winrate in the game. Right up there with Azir. Most people are bad with those champs, but the few people who have them truly mastered reveal them to be borderline overpowered.
