Can we make her autos do 100% AD again instead of 90%? She's sitting at a 45%~ winrate right now, I don't think that reverting one nerf will boost her back to cancerously dominant tier, and even then I prefer facing her than a Vayne.
RisenDarkKnight5 votes10% damage is actually pretty huge. Corki went from OP to in the dumpster for numerous patches after they removed the free 10% damage on autos his passive had. It took like 5 buffs to make him good again.
Kalista already helped UoL win IEM Oakland, so she is competitively viable already, while still being trash for 90% of the playerbase. One of the main balance problems of Kalista is how strong she is in LCS/challenger play vs regular play. That is a huge buff (ok revert, but still) to give her that would probably make her pick/ban in LCS again, without making her viable in bronze-gold. IMO, they need to fix her passive (the infinite dashes part), rather than just give her more damage in her toxic kit.
WorksAtAGayBar3 votesI know she's really bad right now, but Riot has the be very careful with how they go about buffing her. I'm still traumatized from when she was in her prime and shudder at the fact of her becoming anywhere close to that. Her jumping around and attack speed makes her a nightmare for skillshot mage mains like me to play against.
Tik1153 votesNo, I'd rather them very slowly buff/revert nerf then dare do more then one or the other in a single patch.
Kalista in her prime was basically the HMS Dreadnought of carries and I'd rather not see that be a thing again
ThirteenJesters1 votesBeen playing a lot of kalista on the PBE recently and the new buffs are helping her a lot. Farming is easier now that you can spam Rend, you no longer need 2 auto attacks when farming at tower early game. Now you can just auto once and Rend without using your entire mana pool. The Blade of the Ruined King buffs are seriously helping her early game dueling power, she's actually a really good bully in lane early game now against weaker early game champions. That being said however... she's still dumpster tier in terms of 1v1's, lacks a good late game, and is completely outdone by Vayne even after the Q and R nerfs.
I'm pretty sure giving her 100% AD would fix her completely and make her a viable choice. A straight up 10% damage nerf on auto's is such a large damage decrease for an ADC. In compensation they could reduce the max amount of Rend stacks allowed on Baron and Dragon to a cap of 500 damage or so. I'm no expert on Kalista though (currently sitting at mastery 5) so I'd like to see how she does on live servers, and then possibly change her auto's to 100% in the following patch.
GayFluffyUnicorn1 votesNo thank you. Don't need another vietnam flashback when i see kalista getting picked. I'm glad nidalee isn't a thing anymore currently in my own Elo. These champs unfortunately need to stay in the gutter together with azir until their kits can be fixed. Idk about what nerf riot reverts but just look at vayne: a very small buff+QOL change and she is beyond broken again.
WoonStruck2 votesA 40% increase to her Q's bonus damage (50->70) is much greater than 'a very small buff'.
Leo10241 votesPeople complaining about Riot taking 10% ad from kalistas autos but they took 50% from Taliyahs Q damage....TO FUCKING MINIONS
i know this has nothing to do with kalista and trust me i want to see kalista make a comeback but damn do i miss being relelvant in a game as Taliyah

A Basic Island1 votesno
maybe when she loses her hop passive
till then she belongs in the trash bin
absolutely retarded her passive alone invalidates any melee
