Listen Kai'sa IS NOT weak, she has 58% win rate on mains which is higher than almost any adc in this game People are just new to Kai'sa, massive new players try her out and bring her win rate down

And on top of everything SHE DOES NOT NEED a range buff buffing kai'sa range is like buffing vayne's range, you can't do this

Kai'sa's entire design is balanced by her low range, she's a hypermobile burst adc that is designed around jumping and oneshoting someone

Now back to win rate it's so fcking stupid to use her new win rate to give her a massive sized buff that is on PBE right now

Kalista has 45% win rate and 53% win rate on mains, do you know why? because she's a hard champion and was nerfed heavily which means kalista mains have troubles to success

Jinx has 51% win rate and 57% win rate on mains, because she's an easy champion and her mains know how to use her to win

Kai'sa has 43% win rate because SHE'S A NEW CHAMPION and people have no idea how to use her, but her mains that learned her well and spent a lot of time to master her strengths AND WEAKNESSES can succed on her

moral of this entire story, stop buffing champions on release so hard Just like ornn, people thought he was cluncky and impossible to use, then people learned him and riot massively buff him to create a carcinoma in the toplane that was able to destroy every single match up

Agreed, she does not need a buff just yet, maybe a few fixes though. Am I the only one getting autos canceled whenever I ult? Like wtf.

What's the buffs? To be honest the only thing I have problems with is the E steroid, but that's just teaching myself that it's not your normal click and spray ability.

Attack range increased from 500 to 525 Icathian Rain (Q) Range increased from 575 to 600

this alone is huge to make her broken, listen to what imaqtpie says

and then

Supercharge (E): Minimum movement speed increased from 40/45/50/55/60% to 55/60/65/70/75% Charge time (based on bonus attack speed) lowered from [1.5s - .75s] to [1.2s - .6s]

welp

I see, that attack range buff is a big deal.

Icathian Rain seems like it will be a double edged sword making it harder to get a full isolated barage but easier to to tag someone I guess during lane.

Supercharge lockout reduction seems nice for fluidity but already had enough ms speed to react to stuff like a rakan engage will have to wait and see if it's too much.

Just my newbie Kai'Sa opinion/theory crafting.

buffing kai'sa range is like buffing vayne's range, you can't do this

Or it might turn her into vayne, who is much better then kai'sa right now and that's not saying a lot.

Their current formula is if a champion comes out the gate performing too well it gets nerf and the opposite if they come out weak. They should take it slow which they seem to be doing which is fine. They shouldn't just do nothing and hope for the best especially when she has such an obvious weakness with the range. Also your video is showing when he does well but not the majority of the games when he is not doing as well as he should which is the problem.
