And this is why Kalista is broken.

League of Legends Match History

"Look at me! I do as much damage as Vayne but I also have her Q automatically applied on my basic attacks with no cooldown!"

And here I thought Tryndamere was toxic to play against. She builds enough attack speed and she's dashing nonstop, impossible to pin down. Not to mention her item 3085 meant she could 3v1. All she did was kite us because no one could hit her with skillshots, then after a few seconds activate rend and get an instant triple.

By far the worst passive I have ever seen. We were winning early game and used teamwork to destroy her entire team, out of nowhere she comes out and proceeds to take out our entire team practically by herself. I don't feel like we lost because we were outplayed. I feel like we lost because they had an ADC that doesn't need her team to protect her because she has infinite dashes and bullshit multi-target damage. She never used her ult once throughout the entire match.

Definition of overloaded.

She is not that over loaded, she has a lot of questionable things in her kit. But the real problem is her passive, if she didnt have that everyone would be BEGGING for a rend nerf.

I would be completely okay with her passive if she had a rend cap on both champs and monsters. She can have insane mobility or insane dps but not both especially considering the utility of her ult.

She needs her rend capped or her mobility hit. I think the rend cap is the safer way to go while also making the slow have a cap as well.

Or you could always make her not sync with Runaan's or even remove it. Would solve a ton of problems it seems to bring up from time to time. It was Kayle's big item when she was broken. It has been a core build on Twitch back in his oppressive days. Now it's oppressive on Kalista. But on everyone else its near trash tier. I can see uses on Cait and Varus, but those are both very situational.

Also I want to point out your team was very much in Kalista's favor. All low range, all with little CC, and all melee. Kind of a set up for failure from champ select, but honestly no champ should completely counter an immobile team.

This is when the assassins come in.

Our assassin was Yasuo, and he couldn't land a single Q or tornado at the speed she was moving.

then you had a bad yasuo my friend. Yasuo should stack q, then eq on her. Insta knockup. Also he should have used his wind wall more effectively. Im sorry your yasuo sucked, but that is no reason to call kalista op. (but yes, her e should deal slightly less damage or have it that every OTHER basic attack applies rend stack)

He also went AFK because she was killing literally our entire team by herself. You need to understand that the rest of her team was borderline useless, they didn't even tank for her or stand in between us and her. That's what angers me the most, no other ADC, no matter how fed, can survive an entire team's focus with no one protecting her.

Ive seen it... vaynes kiting, ashes slow with the w kiting... and with kalista you need strong cc to lock her down

Honestly - look at dmg to champs... that Kalista carried hard, everyone else was lack luster. Vayne out damaged by Darius...

that moment when you realize she didn't buy any armor penetration at all... Get this abomination out of the game please

Your team lacked any real CC to lock Kalista up (other than Galio's ult).

As a result it looks like a team that Kalista should have easily been able to kite, keeping her out of Darius' Apprehend range, Rek'sai's tunnel knock up, and yasuo's tornado.

Kalista is definitely strong, but your team composition was very poor for handling her, which allowed her in this game to grow as massive as she did.
