Kalista has been seeing multiple nerfs as she is a strong pick in higher ELOs, understandable. However one change to Kalista that never made sense to me is the Rend Tooltip change, where they removed the display amount of the damage each additional spear deals. For someone who has been playing Kalista from the day she was released or any other experienced Kalista player, it's not hard to average the amount of damage your Rend will do, but for someone who is now picking her up, it may seem like a guessing game. There is no indicator to show when you have stacked enough spears to kill someone, yet a simple ultimate like Cho'Gath's gets a ring indicator telling you when to gobble up a foe. So currently Kalista's tool tip reads:

While Rend is off cooldown, Kalista's spears pierce their target, lingering for 4 seconds. Active: Rip the spears from nearby targets, dealing 20/30/40/50/60 (+60% Attack Damage) physical damage and slowing their Movement Speed by 25/30/35/40/45% for 2 seconds. Each extra spear increases Rend's damage.If Rend kills at least one target, its cooldown is reset.If Rend kills two or more targets, its mana cost is refunded.

"Each extra spear increases Rend's damage." provides as much clarity as saying "This skill does more damage." And I am almost confident that each additional spear from Rend does not do 20/30/40/50/60 (+60% Attack Damage), because after doing some research from the old tooltip "Rend's damage is increased by 5 / 9 / 14 / 20 / 27 (+0.15 / 0.18 / 0.21 / 0.24 / 0.27 per attack damage) for every spear beyond the first that Kalista ripped from them." but it could at least say this or something close to Twitch's tooltip for Contaminate/Expunge (E) which reads:

Deals 20 / 35 / 50 / 65 / 80 physical damage to enemies infected with Deadly Venom. Contaminate deals an additional 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 / 35 (+0.2 per ability power) (+0.25 per bonus attack damage) physical damage per stack of Deadly Venom on them.

This isn't necessarily a buff to the champion, just an attempt to help new Kalista's get accustom to Rend's damage or an idea of how much damage it will do, rather than have Rend feel like a guessing game.
