How to reintroduce Kalista into the meta

PulsarPollo·8/24/2016, 6:34:27 AM·1 votes·375 views

Kalista currently has the lowest winrate of any ADC in the game. She fails as a utility role, something that most ADCs can do to a certain extent. I'd like to propose a korean build to counter this "uselessness" aspect of her current position.

New Build: item 3153 item 3085 item 3158 item 3071 item 3025 The last item can be another defensive or offensive item.

Please upvote to see if a pro will notice and if this will be seriously considered by professional players! <3

Nobody wants Kalista in the meta. Similar to current (pre-rework) Yorick, her kit is way too toxic and oppressive to allow to be viable, and the moment she does get buffed, she's going to dominate competitive play like she's done anytime she hasn't been weak. She needs to be reworked.

Regardless of items she will still be weak to what counters her well and completely dump on champs she can kite too easily. In order for her to be relevant again she is gonna need a rework. Also pretty sure that is actually Riots current plan for her.

You have CDR boots when you already have 40% CDR...not to mention it should be zerker grieves or swifties (to lower jump speed reduction) no matter what.

bork and runaan's are already staples, and she wouldn't benefit from the movespeed on black cleaver. plus she doesn't really need the slow from iceborn to be able to kite or chase, and the cdr doesn't really do much for her either since she's mostly AA reliant.

Kalista is a ball of frustration made real. Her passive let her hop away from danger and kite other champions without using an actual ability thus there is no playaround her CD. She make smite duel for dragon and baron obsolete, so not only she make her opp jger feels bad, she make her own jger feels just as useless. Her ult makes for some really frustrating bot laning experience. You can't burst her support, and if you go for kalista, her support is probably gonna be a Bard or Tahm Kench and makes you feels silly to start a fight anyways. And bot lane becomes a farm fest.

And whenever she is not weak in the meta, she just dominates the pro-scene. She don't need a new build, she needs a new kit to make her playble yet not overloaded with ultility in the form of frustration.
