Some proposals for Kalista

Bârd··1 votes·495 views

  1. Rend: Make the tooltip say that "more spears=more damage". The fact that this key fact is not in the tooltip is dumb as hell.

  2. Dash distance: Scales with Boot Tier >> Scales with Level. Kalista of all champions seems like the one who wants most to sell those boots at the end of the game for another attack speed item; she hardly ever walks, only dashing in most fights.

  3. Sentinel Cooldown: 30 seconds >> 8 seconds. Seriously, what is the point of running these things on an ammo system if you are just going to restrict them so much?

  4. Sentinel MS: 480-280 >> 680. Sentinel should be a scouting tool, but these barely move faster than Kalista, so by the time they arrive at whatever you were scouting, it is probably gone.

  5. Let Kalista switch her oathsworn. Not only does this fix some "SoloQ" issues (My support doesn't have any idea how to use my ult, my support won't stay near me, my support is AFK), it opens up some strategy of switching oathsworn for better wombos.

  1. It's already obvious. I don't know what's more clear, the fact that it says it does X damage per spear or the fact that it's clear from the first time you played the champion.

  2. No, the reason why it does scale with boots is because boots aren't gold efficient in the classic sense. The stats it provides is very low for the cost, with the only benefit being the movement speed (which makes it best in slot, so it's why people buy it every game.

  3. No, scouting tools should come with a cost, like Ashe Hawkshot. It would allow her to have bot lane controlled very hard, ever see an AD carry with 8 second long-range wards? No? That's why.

  4. The main objective of the sentinel isn't really to facecheck bushes fast (or they'd make any bush play vs kalista obsolete). They're to control vision in select parts of the map. If the sentinels are faster than most champions, there is a very slim chance you can dodge them and thus making them OP.

  5. No. If you want to Oathsworn your primary engage (IE your Jungler or Top), you need to take the massive hit to laning. It makes sense.

It's like you put a whole 30 seconds of thought into this post. Maybe try playing the champion before proposing balance changes.

If you disagree with the balance proposals, fine. The E tooltip, however, NEEDS to change.

The exact wording for the tooltip is currently:

Rip the spears from nearby targets, dealing X (+X) Physical damage and slowing their movement speed by 25% for 2 seconds.

Nowhere in this tool tip is the bonus damage per spear mentioned. The Wiki mentions it, but we shouldn't HAVE to go onto a 3rd party website to figure out something this important. It's obvious when you play the champion, but again, that doesn't mean you shouldn't have tor read. It's like if Annie's passive said "Every 5th spell is empowered" instead of "Every 5th spell stuns units hit". Anyone who has played the champion (or played against her) knows about the stun, but to simply leave out something that champion defining is absurd.

?????

PASSIVE: While Rend is not on cooldown, Kalista's basic attacks and Pierce.png Pierce each lodge a spear in her target for up to 4 seconds, stacking up to 254 times. ACTIVE: Kalista rips all lodged spears from nearby enemies, dealing physical damage and Slow icon slowing them for 2 seconds, with spears beyond the first dealing reduced damage.

What are you talking about.

That's the wiki, not the tool tip.

Load into a custom, look at the actual tool tip.
