Kalista turret pushing buff needed or Ultimate buff.

I've been playing a bit of kalista (my old main) and I never noticed how much I played her. With other ADCs in and out of the meta most of them have amazing turret pushing abilities while kalista is still on the back burner of league. If I'm going to throw my support into a battle I think giving them a few added resistances would be really nice to her. I'm not sure throwing my janna into a Jax and Darius is something I'd like and they may accidentally click into the team and be stuck there. It's a buff to her and it's not super strong. Looking at how long kalista has been out of meta, a million dollar company should be able to find a way to put something like this in meta really fast.

I was trying to take out elder dragon and it felt like I'd at least take 2 minutes to take it down since I don't do damage. Her whole kit is designed to be around your support which is limiting the amount of roaming pressure a support can do. This is huge because in LCS and even in normal ranked games the support blitz, thresh, velkoz can get a nice little roam in and help the mid laner but with kalista is feels like you are .5v2ing a lane if your support leaves you.... you aren't even a full person anymore. I just thought either shifting the attack speed to her Q or giving her rend ability a way to rend turrets but at a reduced amount of damage would be nice for her. For god sake I've seen Lucian go in and out of the meta constantly and kalista can't even get a little one.

Jinx: Q attack speed buff given to her naturally in her kit and you max it first so it's really great.

Ashe: Attack speed and damage with her Q

Vayne: got a buff a little while ago that gave her some damage to turrets every q which is up ever 2 seconds.

Miss Fortune: Love tap applies to turrets now AND can be reset after attacking a minions, Plus her W is an amazing attack speed buff that's great for pushing.

Xayah: nice attack speed buff and raw damage, and if you have rakan he also gets attack speed.

Jhin: nothing too big about him, but his heavy damage more than makes up for his lack of attack speed. When you're doing 900 damage to a turret, that is pretty good turret pushing. He also builds rapid fire and shiv most of the time so that's an extra little nudge into tower pushing, which makes up for his 4 bullets.

Draven: heavy damage and W speed/attack speed boost is really good.

Lucian: who normally builds Rapid fire, and has a nice double attack passive which is procced after every skill he uses. Many players even ult waves just to clear it out.

Varus: His is a little weird, he builds good AD but his Attack speed buff is only whenever he kills something but it's still quite a bit of attack speed.

Sivir: clears waves like it's nothing which kind of makes up for the lack of power pushing turrets but still gets some attack speed post 6 with her Ult passive.

Tristana: ...Tristana

Ezreal: Gets attack speed after every skill he lands and can ult waves since his ult CD is so low. It was also buffed so that's really good.

Tiwtch: Nice attack speed on his Q and if needed but really rare (maybe rushing for first turret) his ult bonus damage is good to clear waves and attack turrets.

Corki: Idk if he's still a trinity force rusher but that 200% damage after every skill like Lucian....God bless it's pretty quick to take a turret down.

Caitlyn: recently nerfed twice but had good attacks peed and damage, not to mention sieging with traps.

Kogmaw: build % HP so not that much damage to turrets, but when his core items are bork, runaans, berserker boots and rage blade. I don't think it matters how much per hit, what does matter is it's going to literally melt in no time.

Kalista has other strengths. Some of the things you listed are situational with one not having any attack speed at all.

ok but every adc can push a turret, her only attack speed if with her support, and since she build BORK first she has low damage since the passive only works with enemy champions.

Kalista is played in pro play all the time. She absolutely does not need buffs. In fact, she should be kept unviable until they rework her and get rid of that absolute cancer passive.

you fail to realize that that "cancer passive" can be countered so easily that it's almost like she won't bea champ anymore. Not just does attack speed lows like randuins, thornmail and etc ruin her, if you lower her movementspeed/ slow her it ruins her attackspeed as well. All you need is some type of slow and she's done for.
