A closer look at kalista and her roles

Kalista is probably one of the more unique and mobile ADC in the game but right now she suffers from being in a unstable place if riot buffs her she becomes a monster if they nerf her she becomes unplayable, as a carrie and with a "rework" i say that loosely coming some time in the future i wanted to share my experiences with her as both a carrie and in other roles i feel she can shine in. similar to graves she is weak as a adc but can shine brightly as a jungler she has the mobility to kite the jungle mobs and has a semi free and built in blue smite in her E she can also scout out the river with her W and has a long range finisher as her Q her passive i feel can be very strong combined with the top laner {although i would prefer if you could swap out oath targets with a semi long cd} her ult can send a tank right into the faces of the enemy team.

But how would she work in the jungle you ask ? very simple she is very similar to kindred she is a ranged jungler with build in kiting and an almost free smite (mana is refunded if you kill 2 targets with rend) she has the same jungle route as kindred you start with E then Q then W go blue,grump,wolves,red,krugs,raptors. or you can get blue,grump,wolves,red. and gank right away with a red buff and the slow from your rend will secure a kill on any one that isn't paying attention or an over extended fool.

• is my preferred jungle item you already have a slow in you E and it gives good attack speed allowing you to stack rend really fast.

• this item makes your rend truly free it allows you to aoe clear and if you kill more than one minion with rend it resets and the mana is returned a really good core item on her

• this item can be considered "core" it deals it deals % hp damage and its good life steal

• also a very good item you can get this first if you don't feel you need the life steal as much

Where do i want kalista to go from here ? i just want to open up new paths for weak champions like kalista i feel she is strong as a jungler and with some changes to her she could be a very good jungler in the current patch or future patches give her a whirl in the jungle she might surprise you.

let me know if you like the idea please try it out i did and i like it a lot it takes a bit of practice to get her hops right but once you do she can be a very scary 1v1 opponent and a ganker.
