Will Kalista be brought into line?

There is literally no way for her to lose a lane with Leona, and she's impossible to kill short of bursting her from 100% due to her passive.

This needs to be fixed.

She hard counters most champions in the game with zero counter play, not to mention her ult is horribly designed.

Fuck this champion.

She counters immobile melees, which are a huge minority by this point.

In return, she's hard countered by almost every single non-utility adc.

play a jinx with janna. that stops her pretty hard. anything that lowers her movement speed makes her jump really short and really slow... as well as her auto attacks being slowed with the movement impairment due to animations. janna can time her knock up to interrupt zenith blade and that makes leona moot. thresh/jinx will also beat out leona/kalista... thresh can flay leona during zenith and then grab her. Jinx with the attack speed steroid beats kalista 1v1. also if you can time her jumps and lay traps behind her so she jumps into one, she has no choice but to jump into it. after that auto attack W auto attack, gg.

i main jinx.. and my secondary pick is kalista and tristana. (over 110 games with jinx in the last 4 weeks, 30 games with kalista, 20 games with tristana). i rarely get beat by kalista when i play jinx, and i get beat almost always when playing kalista vs jinx.

While i dont agree with the OP you are talking split second reaction plays.

Not everyone is LCS status and it does take practice to be able to get that timing right.

That being said Janna hard counters Kalista. Her ult plus tornado and slow make Kalista's Kit fall flat on its face. Pair janna with a power house like Jinx or twitch or graves and she will lose far more than she will win. Graves in particular with his up front burst devastates kalista.

Kallista is rather weak IMO. shes strong, but shes not "every game" strong.

and also, kallista ADC ashe support is an OP combo. ashe synergizes with ADCs who benefit from constant CC, where leona/thresh synergize with ADCs who burst.
