Time for a Kalista Rework?
Isn't it time that Kalista got a rework (like Ryze and now Morde)?
Here's my reasoning:
-
When she is good in LCS, she is very strong. Nearly too strong.
-
On the solo/duo queue boards, she is a total problem. If she is duo'd with a support who knows what they are doing, she is pretty darned hard to stop. And if you are unfortunate enough to be solo queued as support and paired with a bad Kalista, you might as well write off the game.
-
On top of that if you are a solo queued on a squishy support playing at a higher ping, when the Kalista presses her ult,it might as well be a death sentence. Whatever the Kalista may have had in mind when she hit her ult, is irrelevant. Your moves have been entered, the situation which may have been ideal for the ult has passed, and the support is probably going to be wiped.
Suggestion: At the very least, on reflection, as a mini re-work maybe her ult could be replaced with something else with the rest of the mechanics smoothed out. Otherwise, just overhaul her. She feels like a rough, rushed concept - and needs some dev love.
