Lets dare talk about Martial Poise??

I would love to hear what people think about Kalista Martial Poise. Good and Bad. My numbers are just a ballpark here, so bear with me. I personally believe that giving it a stack limit, maybe 3. Which replenishes 1 stack every (10 seconds? or maybe from basic attacks?) and boost the lunges range while lunging toward an enemy champion and add a small damage buff to the attack when lunging toward the enemy champion . I believe it would make it useful while giving the unlucky soul on the receiving end at least a chance of running away. My reasoning here, is her relentless jumping around causes her to chase enemies down with impunity. The stack limit would change that, and the damage and range buff while chasing would make up for the lack of continuous lunges. I would love to hear what everyone thinks about this idea. thank you to anyone who replies. summoner 31 I understand that some people who love exploits on their favorite champs will hate this idea, but hopefully people other then these people will explore this idea with me, and suggest more changes that would compliment my suggestion, to keep her the strong champ that she is. Riot has already acknowledged changes should happen , and started with nerfing the lunge range while fleeing.

There are measures to stop her from jumping around all over the place. Exhaust. Wither. CC. Slows. Atk Speed Slows.

Nerfing her martial poise like that will be taking her movement speed away. It will be a double nerf. She is one of THE slowest champ known right now and that was designed with a purpose. I'm aware she is a bit strong but that is what make her unique. Riot needs to leave her alone. she is one of the few remaining champs that are still fun to play with. Riot cant keep their nerf gun in their pants. If they want to nerf kalista, they should nerf her W and a little bit of her E. Not her autoattacks and passive. Any big nerf like your suggestion will break the champion and that will make me sad. Take a good look at the future Skarner or Mordekaiser.

Honestly, riot need to buff everyone to counter balance the "OP" champions instead of nerfing them. This way different champs can remain viable in different situation. Let's look at how many champions that barely see the light of day:DrMundo Kassadin Karthus Mordekaiser Nocturne Poppy Quinn Rammus Singed and more but you get my point. Also to point out that, roughly 40-50 champions are constantly picked out of the 100+ champs. I'm just tired of having to learn different champ everytime riot decide to put a few champs down when there are tons of champs they should be buffing to balance the game

This is a terrible idea because kalista isn't a normal adc that can auto attack cancel and this would put her win rate at a 28% guaranteed
