Kalista Nerfs! :O

Kalista [Could be more changes here. Need to confirm in game.] Base attack damage increased to 57.5 from 53.46 Attack damage growth increased to 3.5 from 3.25 Martial Poise (Passive) now notes her her auto attacks "Deal only 90% of her total attack damage."

Pierce (Q) can no longer be cast mid dash Sentinel (W) [Looks like tooltip no longer mentions the passive having minimum damage to minions ] Rend (E) now lists each extra spear as increasing the damage by 50% rather than 10/14/19/25/32 (+20/22.5/25/27.5/30% AD)

[Note: While numbers are slightly different... this may just be a tooltip change.]

I dont understand why she only does 90% damage on AA. Every other AA in the game is 100% AD on hit. If she is to be nerfed why not just lower the base or scaling damage on an ability or two? Makes no sense to me.

I think they said something about gaining too much from buying early ad.

So I guess these changes make snowballing with pure ad a little harder, while buffing her base stats to even her out later in the game.

Idk, it is a bit odd.

the only real change is she cant q while dashing and maybe now she only does 90% damage everything else is the same

Pretty much.

At least the Q nerf is nice.

What about the E buffs?

The E change is a nerf and a buff. A few spears on a target rended will do more damage than before, however beyond that will end up dealing less damage than before I believe.
