So what are we gonna do about Kalista?
I think at this point it's pretty obvious Riot is going to nerf Kalista. She's dominating almost every LCS game she's in, and that's a big no no. Kalista is an interesting champ to say the least. Her win rate anywhere other than LCS has never been that great, but that's not because she's a weak champ (a wise man once told me win rates aren't everything). Kalista requires a tremendous amount of teamwork in order to play successfully. More so than any other champ in this game arguably. You need to have faith in your support, and your support needs to trust you, and it's extremely easy to have good teamwork in LCS games due to the fact that everyone is sitting right next to each other. In addition to having amazing support synergy, she also extremely safe, and keeps her support extremely safe as well when her ult is used correctly. Her ult has the luxury of being both an engage and a disengage (whatever she prefers). Finally, she has amazing objective control. Rend has no damage cap on monsters, and objectives are huge this season. When you have a champion capable of dealing large amount of instant burst to monsters, it is incredibly valuable (especially when combined with your jungler's smite).
was left at 44% winrate for 1 year and only gets attention 1 week before the LCS.
