I don't understand all this Kalista hate
First off, this isn't about whether she is balanced or not, but her interactions with whomever she soul bounds with. Also, I want to state that I am in full support of having a choice whether to be bounded or not.
But as a support main, I have honestly never had a poor experience with Kalista except one time when she chose the jungler to soul bound with instead of me and we ended up missing a lot of damage in lane. But anyways, her ult honestly isn't that bad. Yes, you can get ksed, yes you can miss a good opportunity, yes you can panic and jump into the enemy team, but adcs will ks you anyways, and besides as a multiplier class, a kill on the adc isn't bad. If you adc messes you up, well have you never messed someone up as a support? Believe or not, supports can mess an adc up as well. Ex: Blitz hook, Janna ult, Ali knock-back. Of course Kali is much more personal, but I HIGHLY DOUBT IT'S ON PURPOSE. And if it is, then your adc is a troll and they will be a troll no matter who they play, Kali doesn't make people trolls, being a troll makes a person a troll no matter what champion they play. And finally, I admit that every time Kali ults me, I get extremely disoriented, and be like WTF IS HAPPENING TO ME for the first few seconds, but I then have enough time to decide what I want to do. If it's a stupid ult, I run away and let Kali die. If Kali blames me? Well, any adc Kali or not will blame you for leaving them to die, it's just more obvious to Kali that you left them, but whatever adc, you can whine all you want, but I'm going to carry you anyways. But mostly, Kali ults have been useful and a lot of times Kali has actually SAVED ME from bad positioning or when I'm fleeing from an enemy. In fact, I remember this Kali/Kat bot (not even duo) that did extremely well as Kat would ult in during a teamfight, and then Zhonyas when she was low, then Kali would pull her out before she died.
But yeah, Kali honestly isn't horrible to play with, and her ult is definitely not as bad as everyone says it is. But that being said, I still think there should be an option of whether or not you soul bound with her.
2.0 on steroids.
Deal with it .
