Rengar Ryze Shaco Soraka Zed

26 Champs people constantly complain about. All of which are unique in their own way which make for healthy gameplay. I'll start off with the one that made me make this post, Graves, ranged burst marksman. Firstoff, his burst really only comes into play when he's in melee and you're against a wall, other than that, his damage output is pretty low, especially if you're in lane, considering his auto's are blocked by creeps. His melee range damage increase allows, and pretty much requires him to build tanky to survive. Honestly, I believe that he is one of the coolest designs in the game, simply because he has quite clear weaknesses, but when you misplay or engage on him in the wrong place, you are greatly punished.

Now, I'll only comment on one other champ, and that's Kalista. Now, I'm not sure where all this "such unhealthy design for a champion" thing came from about kalista. Her ability to orb walk as a passive is a pretty cool idea if you ask me, since most higher elo ADC's will attack-move anyway, this allows for it to be done without any extra commands. Now, Kalista has a play rate of 1.76% with a win rate of 45.77% according to Champion.gg. Now, according to the same site, Ashe is sitting at the highest win rate at 54.52%. Now that's a huge gap, and I'm not sure why people are taking Kalista and saying she's op and unhealthy. Her AA's only do 90% of her AD because of her E and how fast she wants to attack. She can't cancel her AA's as part of her passive. She only has 2 damaging abilities ( the only ADC that has less damaging abilities is Urgot and most ADC's have 4 damaging abilities) If anything the only thing I view unhealthy about Kalista his the vagueness on her E. I believe their should be a kill mark (like Zed's ult) that will signal when Rend will do enough damage to kill the target. I believe this will allow more accessible and easier to read counter play.

Nerf kalista more till she can get reworked, she is cancer and anybody who tries to defend that kit is wrong. Objectivly. Its just not balancable to have infinite dashes on a ranged adc, if played correctly it gets aids ( and always permapick in coordinated play and in higher elo because of that). I mean hell they nerfed the cooldown and the reset on lucians e because it was hyper cancer when it had the reset mechanic. Kalista is that, just worse. The concept doesnt work, i mean she IS worse then fucking yorick designwise and yorick already is deemed cancer.

Judging by your name, you're a riven main. Which after a little search, you are indeed. That explains the hate towards Yorick and someone that can "dash infinitely". First off, Kalista cannot dash infinitely, she hops while she auto's so that she can stay close to her target. This is compensated by reducing the damage on her auto's. Now, this season, Kalista has been played 320 times in pro play, Lucian has been played 683 time in pro play, so she's not permapicked in coordinated play or in higher elo. And if you want to go outside of pro play, then she has a play rate of 2.88% in bronze, 2.56% in silver, 2.29% in gold, 2.23% in plat, and 2.10% in diamond. So your argument about her being permapicked in high elo, is wrong. She's actually more frequent in lower elo game's (we play what we want).

I dont hate yorick as lane opponent btw, he is useless so there is no point in hating him right now. As riven player I personally have the least problem of all melees to catch up to her I guess, still I can understand why her kit doesnt fit in this game and makes melees obsolete when she is strong. She was complete bullshit and had an incredible pick or bann phase before they gutted her. We dont need that time to come back, fact.

She has that mobility because she is different from other adcs, she can't effectively build crit, her attacks can miss if vision is lost, her autos don't do 1.0 ad, majority of her kit and attack speed revolves around another random player. Her mobility and teamplay oriented kit is what stops her from being absolute garbage. All I ever see is "GUT KALISTA MOAR SHE TOO MOBILE NO WEAKNESS!" Yet she has more weaknesses than any other ad. Her kit is unhealthy for pro play and only pro play.
