Can we please remove Kalista's passive ?
Or atleast give it a cooldown or something. She would be a viable champion even if she didn't jump a kangaroo everywhere. No RANGED champion in this game should make every skillshot or melee champion useless.

I still find it ironic that they gutted Lucian's range from 550 to 500 and took away his 0 mana cost E because it made him "Too mobile" and then gave Kalista unlimited dashes that scale off her attack speed, while still having a pretty damn good base movespeed (335) and the only thing that they used to defend her insane mobility was "Well if she loses vision of the person she's attacking it'll miss"... Assuming that you're going to be able to get out of vision range of her while she's dashing ~200 range every .5 seconds to chase you. Oh and even if you do manage to get out of her auto attack range, she can just Q to get another dash, or Rend to slow you enough that she can get back in auto attack range to chase you.
It's Riot's biggest blunder in champ design they have ever made.
No RANGED champion in this game should make every skillshot or melee champion useless.
How is jumping away from targets within 550 range of you negating skills with 900~1500 range?
Kalista gets destroyed by a lot of skillshot-heavy champions, as her mobility's only really amazing vs. champions like Udyr that have nothing capable of striking further than ~300 range.
Also - she doesn't make every melee champion useless. If you can 100%-->0% a squishy and have a decent mix of CC or mobility, you can kill her. Most gap-closers have more than 550 range, several are in the 650~800 zone.
You can actually kill her with a champion like Udyr as well. LoL isn't a JRPG with turn-based combat where you run at a group of enemies head-on and take turns. You can flank, backstab, isolate, and otherwise surprise targets by assaulting them from different angles, and you can use terrain/shrubbery in LoL. LoL also isn't a 1v1 fight deal. You can team up and dog-pile a problematic champion. And, well, Riot kind of expects you to use those capabilities.
So make her weaker! make her the least viable champion in the game hell make it so moving for her costs health I dont care seriously free mobility is what is killing this game and everyone below diamond knows it
KALISTA IS JUST RETARDED.
