We have discovered excitement!

So, just had a game where our jungler accidentally picked kalista instead of kindred. Now, I don't play Kalista so I don't have a lot on incite here but... Why isn't this a thing? Like... REALLY, especially in pro play, THIS SHOULD BE A THING and I'm frankly astounded that especially with the amount of lane swapping happening that no body has thought to pull it out... CAUSE IT IS INSANE!

First off, sated passive seems to work with Rend, meaning you get more rendsets AND more neutral monster control. Kalista as a champion was absolutely meant to use sated. It makes her stronger just because of the attack speed like only a few junglers can boast so she doesn't have the massive power dip that most get from building it. We took a twenty minute Baron against a Nunu team who were all still up AND they warded it but we just burnt it down too fast for them to react!

But then there's the better part... You get to give the spear to your top laner! You think it's obnoxious having a soraka you can't focus in fights or a no gold no item Alistar getting thrown into your lines... Well... What about a full AD Jarvan? What about a full AP Nautilus or Malphite? What about a champion who can REALLY cause some damage because you've been giving them the free lane farm all game instead of sitting there baby sitting the Kalista.

That was pretty much how this game played out, I was Jarvan with the kali spear and Kalista came to my lane around level 6 and we just brute forced the tower down. Nunu/Fiora were powerless to stop us, though we did die when the mid Zed roamed, but by then it was too late.

From there, we just bullied and brute forced objectives. I dunk them and Kali pulled me back out again. Also mid Zilean made it EXTRA stupid for the enemy who really couldn't do anything to us by the end of it. But we didn't get fed on kills, it was only like 14/10 by the end, we got fed on objectives.

So anyways my point is, Junglers who play Kindred, maybe try Kalista instead. Perhaps you too shall discover excitement as I have this day.
