Guys I think i have a solution for Kalista!

Instead of her passive giving her a dash, Riot could make it so that auto attacks dont stop her movement i.e. she can auto attack and move at the same time.

This would still help her kite and chase but it wouldnt nigh on impossible anymore to stop her doing so as slows would actually effect her and she wouldnt be as hard to hit with skill shots (cc).

This would definitely be a nerf to her as it would reduce her mobilty, but I feel it is necessary as she excells in too many areas right now (kiting and chasing,objective control,wave clear, burst with her e, utilty with her ult and w, poke with q,amazing multi target damage with runnans) and i feel she needs to have a clear identity other than being extremely good at almost everything.

I also feel that the mobilty she gets from her passive doesnt have tangible cost to it while other champions do (lee sin has to hit skillshot or use up wards, kassadin has to use a million mana, zed has to back off while his shadow still last, etc) while also having to work around cooldowns (get cdr, time engages/save mobilty for kiting or escaping) and the fact that most other champions mobility takes up the space of an abilty or have certain requirements (Rengar). This fact alone ,imo, warrants a nerf or compensation for kalista's mobility.

I hope I have made it clear as to why i feel kalistas mobilty should be nerfed and i hope the solution i proposed is not too confusing/wierd to comprehend or implement, Cheers!

Let her keep the dashes. Just make her range 500. Cap her rend stacks vs monsters. Lower the ranged her scouts can travel.

the problem if she keeps her dash is that melee characters without extreme burst, gapcloser(s) or targeted hard cc wont be able to chase or escape or kill her, effectively making her anti-melee

Oh, I agree she is the shittiest idea that has come out of Riot. "Hey let's make a champion that can ignore all of our melee guys!" But without just totally redoing her kit, I think this is all they would do. Much like they changed Lucian but kept his skills mostly the same with just slight changes. And after that he started to have a weakness. So I think this would be a good start until they can come up with a way to get totally rid of her dashing-passive.

That's actually a good idea, only problem is that they designed her with a dash. they'll find something to keep this key charateristic about her.

But yeah like retillin said, Rend stacks against monster (and champions too imo) should be capped. For the scout thing... this thing has no vision. It's fine as it is.

yeah i just mentioned her w to show that she has something most adc dont, even though the vision is not the best it still stalls junglers by a few seconds (or more if you send multiple and time them well), but hey something is better than nothing. vayne,tristana,caitlin,ezreal dont have any vision/scouting abilty.

my point was her kit is too overloaded

i think this would be a good little fix to her. though just as a heads up if in solo Q, take lulu, you will stop her doing anything Kalista likes to do :)

I've found soraka support to do wonders. TBH i dont like lulu alot so i would pick lissandra instead, she handles her much better imo. she can root kat when kat jumps to her, kite her with q, chase with e and either ult herself or katarina to make kats ult useless.

tbh lissandra is very good spot right now as she can handle alot of fotm picks : zed, yasuo (ive heard), fizz (previosly fotm), katarina
