What if we make Kalista's Q apply on hit effects? I feel like all it's good for now is a long range spear for E slow or mobility. Her winrate is around 48% in every elo below diamond so I think she could use this small buff.
What do you guys think?
Nik Nikerson2 votesI think it's an interesting idea, but it's been kind of a mess on Ez.
General Esdeath 1 votesThe problem with Ez is that all his damage is on Q, while hers is on her E.
Nik Nikerson1 votesFair enough. It may not be an issue, and I'm not going to claim that it would be for sure. It's just one of those things that gives me pause because we've seen it go bad with Ezreal.
General Esdeath 1 votesOh I can understand that, I find most "replace auto with Q champs" to be bad designs. GP, Yas, Ezreal, they're all so bad because of their low CD ranged AA attacks.
Faie2 votesPlease no, Kalista doesn't need buffs in high elo right now. Pick/ban phase in my university LoL games boils down to "can either adc play Kalista effectively?"
Kalista's power directly scales with how good the player is on her, so while she's not a great pick for players who aren't as comfortable on her, players that can thoroughly utilize her strengths win lane against every other adc.
hhaavviikk2 votesrather they rework her first, she shouldn't be viable as long as she has that obnoxious jump passive
General Esdeath 1 votesTHAT I can agree on. Been playing her a bit and it feels bad because she's limited by her boots but it's so nice for kiting.
GayFluffyUnicorn2 votesBuff? A kalista buff? No thank you she's already a terror in dia+ and banned from pretty much every competitive game, this champ shouldn't even be allowed to be viable. If at all riot shoul nerf her into the ground again but rito is rito and their current live design team is things i can't say here without getting banned. After nerfing her into the ground she gets reworked and hopefully not toxic, gamewarping and unhealthy then we can talk about buffs.
General Esdeath 1 votesWOAH slow down, I never want LCS or competitive games to be part of the balance reason, that's the same reason why bot lane tower is now weaker and first turret exists. Secondly, I'd just want it to apply on hit effects and lose some damage since it's mostly used for mobility or QE slow.
Why nerf her? Under diamond she has a 48% winrate, across every elo. She's not spiking anywhere except diamond, because her W and R are too good if the team actually KNOWS what they're doing.
Timethief491 votes56%winrate in master+ in the last 7 days. I dont think she needs a buff.
AmetDeCrypt1 votessome say she's a skill based champion I say you can just bind attack move click to A rather than the default and spam that all game ez.
vgamedude1 votesPlease god no
Rester1 votesI'd rather like a slight QOL buff to her passive rather than her Q.
General Esdeath 1 votesHer passive is fine imo it forces her to upgrade boots early in exchange for great kiting, dodging, and chasing
Kimuto1 votesShe's very good actually. When you're duo with someone, she actually a monster when you understand your duo's play style and he know yours. She is like master yi where he is consider to be OP in low elo but sucks and rarely play in higher elo. Reverse of that.
General Esdeath 1 votesI've been winning with her 3 games in a row, you just need a support who will tank for you knowing you'll ult them away from the last tower shot.
