This is why i never play Kalista nor like having her on my team even if im supporting her she strives on dealing bonus damage if her oathsworn partner attacks the same target which is a very pointless for SoloQ players where there is poor communication and poor coordination.

Last time i played her was march of 2016 my support rage quit on me when i told them I'm not even a good adc and i wanted to just farm. Tried to get the black spear back and give it to my jungler but nope you can't do that.

I played with one the other day. Every time I try to make a play during a fight (Engage, peel, what have you), she'd pull on the leash and I'd be left watching my team get eviscerated during the 0.5 second pseudo-stasis she trapped me in.

Worst. Ult. EVER!

Lol I got flamed once because I was Ashe support (it works pretty well with Kalista actually definitely try it with Bond of Stone and Black Cleaver/Ardent Censer) and she got caught out. The rest of the team was behind her and engaged and I was just about to ult their ADC when suddenly I find myself floating. I had to ult away and we ended up losing the fight with two people dying. But had I taken the ult three people would have died, because I'd be instantly melted!

I got flamed the rest of the game lmao the Kalista was even my premade

Omg this reminds me of this guy who i went premade with. Used to be my friend if i just so much as did a ks even when the enemy had more hp and damage than him and he had 2 hp he would flame me and i mean... flame to the point he got banned later after this match i had with him.

He also had a go with my best friend and my brother who also ks'd him and the other guy was feeding.

Thank god that jerk got perma banned in season 5 then i saw him on by pure bad luck on SMITE forums being the same toxic scrub.

Sorry went off topic but man that last comment reminded me of him.

Lol all good, can't really go off topic in a discussion forum :p

I've muted and reported my friends before. And when I say that I mean like, friends in real life that I've known for over a year. There are two rules in life. Never work with your significant other, and never duo with your best friend.

I've noticed my chicken tends to dry out really fast if I leave it in too long. Any idea what I might be doing wrong with the basting?

I find if you add some extra oil, it makes this really nice blue burn.

How long does your dick get stuck in it? That actually affects how dry it becomes though not many realize this

I hate that ult so much. Every time someone locks kalista I ask why. That ult screws me over. It locks my screen and disorients me. Kalista is really more of a champion to play with someone you duo with. And I've tried asking people not to play kalista in the lobby. Guess what happens, I get flamed, or they forget whoever their pick intent was and lock in kalista to spite me.

I've found the odds if playing with a Kalista go down if I don't say anything. And when she gets picked, I just bury the rage. I'm confident the blood pressure spike and red hues that invade my vision are entirely unrelated.

I've played with Kalista ADC's and i think it really comes down to your awareness and readiness of her ultimate. It can be super useful you just have to be ready for it.

I love how Lee Sin's kit is just listed there normally. It's like at some level even Riot knows he's a joke.

I think the black spear doesn't work past 3 minutes in

You should be able to switch her oathsworn if your support goes afk, but if they return it should automatically switch back to the original.

What about if they just run around in fountain to avoid the AFK detection? (I've seen it happen)

Kalista has a timer where she can rebind any other ally, unlimited times. I believe it's 90 seconds or more. Don't know for sure how long you have because i don't play Kalista. The moment it expires, you're stuck with whoever you bound last.

So you can't just change Oathsworn whenever you feel like it. Part of Kalista's gameplay is to be bound to someone for the remainder of the game. Or you could simply tie yourself to a support and then after that mid Talon gets fed, you just change to chuck him in every fight, having able to do a makeshift Malphite + Ori combo. If you wish to do so you can, but you have to do this earlier. Not when the circumstances are right for your team.

The solution is not to play Kalista. You will never run into this problem again AND the opposing team doesn't get cancer, everyone wins! [slayer-jinx-wink]

Ariel the Cruel6 votes

Bonus points: You're support doesn't rage quite because of your ult. (>_>)

I feel like the solution here is making afks happen less, not fixing kalista so she'll work in a situation that shouldn't happen in the first place.

Just another attempt at trying to balance Kalista kappa

She's been this way since release...

Ariel the Cruel2 votes

I agree. Let her change it once during the game, and delete her ult.

I already have the entire enemy team, my ADC shouldn't be making things harder.

I know it would mean a lot of animation work, but what if the support gets to stab Kalista with the spear instead of the other way around? Sometimes I see players type things like 'you killed me' when all I did was make them Oathsworn. The act of piercing her would show that you are dedicated to her, would maybe make players quit on her less. Would be weird because you'd have to give a spear to each of their allies and they'd have to choose to use it or not. Use it or lose it.

It doesn't work past 3 min, because that would be kind of over powered if you could switch it to your like 100/0 galio or something and throw him in.

DoWG Preotesei1 votes

sadly it doesnt work past minute 3.

SkZ DoPe1 votes

you can rebind your oathsworn but only in the first 3 minutes after binding :P that's quite unfortunate because if my support is Soraka and my toplaner is Maokai i'd bind him later in the game :P I have 250k on Kalista btw xD

I always assumed she could just change it whenever she wants... guess not.

DarkRitual2 votes

She used to be able to, but it was changed a little while after her release.

Hige1 votes

honestly, Kalista's pact is one of the most useless features in league ._. yes it does enables her ult but the whole animation is the playground of troll kids, I've seen a few wait until they are in lane to make the pact and kill their partner in the process lol

There is also no reason for it to be permanent considering that Taric has the same mechanic but a lot more flexible, of course, displacing someone is a bigger issue than shielding them but perhaps they could implement a system that consumes the black spear after cast and allows you to make a different pact on the spot, like Thresh' lantern for example

thats because it's not intended that you change mid game to let's say a fed juggernaut and completely dominate.
