Why is Riot releasing increasingly Troll potential abilities?

First Kalista is able to pull you to her, allowing her to basically FORCE you to feed if she chooses

Next Bard will have a targeted ally stun?

I thought Riot intentionally avoided ally trolling, so why is it becoming the new standard?

Sion is fine since he at most pushes away 1 minion, you can't really say that's trolling as it's pretty minor.

Know what, it was so minor I removed it

Still K and B are problematic if used for trolling

While I can see the potential, true, but nothing beats a trolling Trundle or Anivia aye.

As for Kalista, she may pull you in but you choose what direction you will go

If she pulls you in, then flashes into the enemy team. Very often you won't really have a chance to escape

I agree Bard's could be pretty troll, but Kalista isn't all that bad.

It depends on whether you have had a Kalista who was actually trying to play well, and one who was actually trying to intentionally troll

It IS that bad for ones who are trying to intentionally troll

these champs are only going to be viable at high elos anyways, and there arent trolls up there

"viable in high elo where there are no trolls"

You think low elo trolls care if a champion is a viable win pick if all they want to do is troll?

I don't know, but I'm hoping only mature LoL players will play Bard, and I hope people dodge games where a Bard goes anywhere but support(he CAN'T jungle or mid).

Just off the top of my head, Janna, Singed, Volibear, and Skarner bringing the most dangerous champ right to your carries, getting them killed.

Trolling potential's been in this game since the original champions.

Also, Kalista can only pull you to her, you choose where you go after that.

Try AoE Zhonya's. HUGE difference, especially because it hits towers and enemies too.

The potential to troll is there, but the potential has been there since Blitzcrank and Anivia. I'm not terribly worried, especially as a Heimer Main I don't mind an extra zhonya's. =p
