Why I Hate Kalista

Kalista as an AD carry most likely has a ton of fans. Hell I've watched players take her and just...wow. Just WOW. Please do not ever play against me.

However if I'm in the botlane and either I am Kalista or I'm supporting a Kalista I loathe it. Even with a good one. Even if I was with the best one..I loathe it. I hate it. I despise it.

Why?

Because I feel "Leashed" via the Oathsworn mechanic. Kalista's ultimate is all about it, her attack speed boost she gets(Which can be pretty huge) is all about it, her %HP damage that is super useful(5% max HP damage? Hell yes) is all about it.

So if I'm not permanently attached to Kalista's ass I am crippling her, and if my support(When I'm playing her) isn't attached to me I'm crippled.

I agree to an extent. I just personally DESPISE WITH A PASSION her ult. I think it's horrible and I only ever see it used as a rescue.

Kalista is a great example of a champ that was designed with the competitive scene in mind, where the support does stick to the ADC, where there is perfect coordination between support and ADC, and there is plenty of communication to properly use her ult.

I don't get why a champion who's all about hopping around and making dubstep montages with lots of lens flares has a passive all about cuddling with someone else. She should be two different champions :O

Every time Kalista ults me and pulls me away from using my ult or polymorph as lulu, or my exhaust, or prevents me from going in to make a play just to throw me into a teamfight to save herself so I can die, i get fucking livid. NO. Im not gonna shoot myself into that 1v4!!

Kalista is the Yasuo of Marksman. Overloaded BS kit and was basically designed for E-Sports.
