Kalista's Soul-Marked Overrides Targon Stacks!

From what I have experienced playing as support with Targon and laning with Kalista each time I go to execute a minion the targon doesn't execute. Instead I get the +1 gold for being near a minion death. Does this or does this not hurt the support because there gold intake is now diminished? Keep in mind I'm talking strictly for SoloQ where bot lane synergy is mediocre / above average and not Ranked 5's nor Pro level gameplay. Thank you for your time friends. GG and GL!

This is correct. Soul-marked procs before targon's execute. Until/unless it's fixed, tank supports who use Targon's are a bad matchup with kalista

Yep, because of how it's coded, the gold goes to her if you kill the minion via her W proc, even though she's be getting the same gold plus more and a heal if you dealt the killing blow yourself.

As such, it's good form to communicate to your Kalista that if you have the floaty blue orbs on you, to let you smack down a minion if it's safe. She's already chucking you into teamfights, it's better you have all the gold you can snap up to be as tanky as you can.

If she still doesn't comply, it may not specifically be reportable, but personally I would do it. You're already forced to accept the Spear, the least she can do is play as a team.
