[CONTROVERSIAL] If the trends to Kalista that we see on this patch carry over 6.7...

I made a previous post on the state of Kalista, and naturally it was downvoted quite a bit. However, what people didn't realize is that they are so judgemental of people, that they don't even bother to read arguments.

> Can we give her a little care package for 6.9?

>She's really underperforming in solo queue, near the bottom of her role (or at the bottom of her role) in nearly every category. Her playrate is continuing to drop, but her winrate (as FOTM "mains" move to another ADC) is still moving down. Competetive be damned.

>She currently has no winning lanes, Her best lane is vs Lucian at 47.15% winrate.** I will mystery gift the first person who reads this sentence and mentions it in a comment.** And I feel like a care package to Rend or Pierce would help with her with solo queue without affecting her competitive power.

>She definitely needed nerfs, but these past nerfs made it a lot less rewarding for communication with her support, and affected her already very poor 1v1 potential a lot. I would much rather you nerf her passive than touch her damage.

Note the comment section, and no one mentioned that one sentence anywhere. I will not mystery gift any fool who asks me for it. At this point, Riot shouldn't even be required or obligated to listen to its community when its own community isn't able to listen amongst themselves, you all ought to be ashamed of yourselves.

Edit: 2 downvotes already? Man, I just love these boards.

comments made good arguments. also just saying... the "new" kalista is stronger than the "old" one. ok her w got nerfed you cant say anything about that. BUT SHE NOW GETS BONUS ATTACKSPEED if her "soulmate" is near her. and if you'd do the math. at level 1 the bonus is bigger than what the old kalista had as base attackspeed.

and not just that, but the old kalista was, at level 18, still slower than the new kalista, when her soulmate is next to her.

so stop talk like "its a nerf its a nerf" because it wasnt. yea they fucked her w, but its not the worst thing. her early mid and lategame became stronger BECAUSE SHE IS FASTER!!!

They nerfed her base attack speed and her scaling attack speed, she still is at a net loss even when her soul bound is close by. And this change also makes it impractical for her support to roam.

And if it wasn't a nerf then why did her winrate drop 5 percent? I'm waiting...

But that's not the point of this post. The point of this post is that the people who commented on my previous post did not read everything carefully, or even read up to that point of my post. (barely even half-way, it's laughable, just read the title lol) It's their loss, because no mystery gift for them anyway.

All you literally had to do was say "I'll take that mystery gift"

Yes $5 to write 4 words or less, that's a $1.25 a word!

OK, how about this.

Kalista has a very high pick rate, and high average playerbase games, and the winrate is terrible, this is unacceptable for most champions, her stats are the lowest or very close to the bottom in terms of damage, kills, killing spree, assists, and deaths.

I had every intention to follow through with my promises. I'm not a truly spineless, backboneless idiot.

The pick rate drop has directly affected her winrate then, she's now seen in 6.62% of games, if that's the case. Then Lucian and Ezreal need to be nerfed immediately.

Kalista was only pick and ban in the LCS, her pick ban ratios in solo queue weren't the worst prior to 6.6 nerfs, but they sure as hell wasn't near the way Crit Vayne and Lucian were at the beginning of preseason.

They did nerf her too hard. I had read the OP (the other thread) and meant to post but never got around to it. I'm weird sometimes.

But overall, I agree she needs help. I'm not sure about the particular changes you suggested, as I don't play her in any meaningful way to know what would be good or bad changes.

I think possibly fixing up her AS a bit more on her own might help. The latest netf to her really discourages her support from roaming which is pretty important.

Quick edit here: I also think it is important to point out, try not to be too upset your first thread was downvoted. These boards can be fickle, and perfectly fine threads don't always get upvoted because reasons.
