Kai'Sa's abilities seem very pointless. Advice and opinion on how to make her better.
Hello everyone,
I have played Kai'Sa a bit on the PBE and I kind of got the hang of her and what she is made to do, however there are some things that bother me quite a lot and I would like to list the problems and solutions that I have. For those who disagree, this is just an opinion and suggestion, please don't feel offended or the need to insult.
Starting off with the Passive: Overall I believe that it's alright and probably the best part of her kit for now.
Her Q ability: So Kai'Sa's Q ability has her launching rockets towards nearby enemies, however it does not prioritize champions which bothers me a bit and I feel like it's affecting her playstyle. So Riot intend to make a high risk-high reward champion, an adc that goes deep into enemy territory. However imagine dashing in with your ultimate and/or fighting inside a wave of minions or around jungle monsters and you want to obliterate an enemy but most of your rockets end up hitting the minions. The thing about this is that even if she is one of those champions who dashes in the enemy team, she's still an ADC, meaning that if her Q has to rely on how close she is to enemy champions, then I think that's a problem. So the solution I am referring to is to make it so that her Q prioritizes enemy champions over minions and monsters and lower the damage if needed.
Her W ability: Now I was a bit surprised when it stated that the W ability can be evolved by having at least 100 Ability Power. Some people might try to make Kai'Sa work as an AP Carry although her W scales better on Attack Damage. But that's not what bothers me about this ability. Now call me crazy, but I feel like her W should pass through minions, because it would be really hard to do a good engage in the middle of a lane or to assassinate an enemy with W>R if there are so many minions on the way. Aside from that I guess the ability power evolve is not that big of a problem. But I still wonder why ability power.
Her E ability: Won't complain much about this one. The stealth on the evolved E is what really makes it good, but the pre-evolve E is kind of meh in my opinion. Sure the small buff is great but it just feels awkward to use.
Her R ability: Won't complain much about this one either. Although I prefer marksmen with ultimates that actually deal damage, I believe that Kai'Sa's ult can work for some good plays, so I will put my faith in Riot with this one and hope she doesn't turn into an overnerfed or overall bad champion because I like her design and her in general.
