Kai sa an adc

She's not a mage - her auto-attacks are actually her main source of damage. She only has two damage- dealing abilities, and one of those has a rather long cooldown for a non-utility basic ability.

She's an ADC, alright - it is just that the A stands for Auto-attack in her case. As in, Auto-Attack Damage Carry.

That out of the way, she could still use a bit of a nerf due to her popularity.

She's a ranged mage assassin lol.

She's clearly a Burst Mage ADC Bruiser Assassin Tank Juggernaut Fighter Hyper Carry. I think her ult should give a shield to her entire team because she is not a support yet.

kai'sa is a caster carry. she isn't an attack dmg carry specifically, neither is she an ability power carry, she is just a caster carry. she can cast spells to do her dmg, she can autoattack you to do her dmg, she can build whatever she needs to build for any specific match.

Just played a game where I was 13/2 on Leblanc with full mejais stacks. They had an 11/5 Kaisa. I was waiting to bushwhack her but she randomly wd into the bush I was in. It hit me and she ulted, and literally 100-0d me before I could get my combo off. She bursted a fucking 13/2 assassin before I could burst her back as a "adc"

Yea she learned how to say "You wouldn't last a day in the void." a lot.

(Her ban quote.)

I don't consider her an ADC. I put her with champs like Ezreal- CAC (cast, attack, carry) They need farm to get Tear or Sheen for Mana to sustain their offense. Then Pickaxe instead of BF Sword, or Glacial if the Iceborn Gauntlet.. They don't have a lot of damage on attack, they rely on kit burst for their damage- like mages but they still focus on their attacks otherwise their abilities fall off.

Ez has useless attacks. Ez has useless abilities. When Ez uses his attacks and abilities together- then that's where the damage comes from. If he isn't casting before an attack its weak. If he doesn't follow up an ability with an attack, its weak. He needs both Ability and Attack. Kai Sa Is similar.

If she was a mage she would be played mainly in the Mid lane (and occasionally Bot lane) and will build mostly AP items (It's an optional build, but not as effective as her AD build). Still not sure how can you classify her as a mage.

A champion that is builds crit is somehow a mage lol. Even the ap version still relies on auto attacks like she is a adc.

She's a marksman. Or markswoman. This is exactly why league of legends dropped new terms for champions. Cause by the old adc definition, riven,fiora,gangplank,yi+ others, are all adc's.
