Why is Kaliata being looked at for nerfs?

I don't normally post on boards, but saw Meddler say shes being looked at for nerfs. I see her as a pretty balanced champ for the most part right now; sucks that having a 50% w/r means you get the nerf bat... Was wonder what others think may be the cause?

She only gets played for her ultimate being a good team fight initiator, it's the same thing with Ashe and her enchanted arrow.

I think they might increase the cooldown on her ultimate if anything. I can't see them touching her damage when it's among the most balanced as far as power curve in the game right now. Her damage output is so linear with her gold income and time in the game, and you don't see it get this HUGE power spike from just 1 item like every other ADC and item 3031 .

Because it is the Worlds Patch, and she is good in competitive.

Kalista is in need of a rework, like Azir is receiving it in the near future. She just has too many strengths, exceeds at too much stuff. They kept her and Azir weak all this time intentionally.

So, yes, 50% winrate does mean she needs nerfs. These 2 champions are special cases.

Kalista is a fundamentally flawed champion, her being above 50% w/r is toxic.

I think part of it is that she goes really really well with rakan right now but they want rakan to be viable for worlds so they can't nerf him if they nerfed him he wouldn't be played in worlds and since he's relatively new if he is played at worlds they might make more money on him :^)
