Kalista attack speed reduction when movementspeed slowed

So i guess you know that when Kalista is movement speed impaired her passive dash speed after the autos and q is slower. Therefore it takes her longer to travel the distance and she will not be able to attack as fast as she usually would. Now this has been ingame since her release (as far as i know) and frankly it's one of the main reasons why almost nobody plays her. I personally would think she should just travel a shorter distance instead of travelling slower. That would remove the issue while still upholding the fact that she's slowed since she won't travel the same amount of distance in a given time. I'd really like to hear your opinion on that. Is there any way one could get in touch with a Game Designer who could actually do something about it? I've noticed that it is fairly hard to get in touch with one, especially since her original designer CertainlyT no longer works there.

this was one of the first nerfs done to kalista right before her gutting. i think you should rather ask riot to return the extra distance on back steps instead and maybe buff dash/attack speed scaling back to release. as this nerf of hers is actually one of the few ones that made sense back when she was monster. the problem is riot also nerfed her dash scaling with attack speed and removed the extra distance on back steps in addition to having slows effect her dash. doing all 3 of those things is part of why she feels so clunky and gutted compared to her release. you probably are not aware of this though so from your point of view you only know part of the reason why slows effect her dashes. to be honest there are so many things that riot nerfed in kalista's kit that its simply impossible to explain it all. lets just say every single part of her kit was nerfed in some way or manner.

its ridiculous really. i believe kalista maybe the single most nerfed single champion in leagues history. i mean i was around for olaf and the sejuani too but they didn't have every single part of theirs kits gutted.

not only did her dashes happen more often on release they gave her extra distance were more fluid were not effected by slows at all. and probably some other things i missed.
