Remove Kalista From Solo Duo PLEASE

Sceptreuo··2 votes·1,137 views

I'm not sure if I am the only person who feels allowing a player to force another player into binding with them which makes it possible for that player to move your champion around all game without your consent is a bad idea. I have had so many Kalista's as ADCs who simply make bad choices as to when to activate their ult on me. I have been in fights where I personally am about to make a play and I am without my consent pulled away from a flash I just made, or a stun i just landed. It is absolutely absurd. This doesn't even take into consideration the Kalista's out there who are actually trying to Troll. The Kalista's who force other players, not even their supports, into taking the ritual. Kalista is a champ that is best used in an organized team.

This would be similar to when you saw the "all for one" ziggs players knocking their friendly players around. It's the same thing. You are giving a person the ability to directly change what their ally is doing. More so than when Anivia or trundle block paths. This is direct intervention with someones game play. Remove it please.

Kalista Worst Champ Ever added to League.

honestly, i love a good kalista im like "ERKSHGJSN SAAVE ME" and kalista be like.. "lol denied" and she ults me WEEEEEE -hops over a wall- "thanx a bunch"

love that ult lol the thing with ziggs mod is that you force your team mate ziggs to go in the direction of your choosing... as well as the time but kalistas ult can never screw u over, lets face it.. she gave you free zhonyas and a flash+knock up if you hit anything wtf ult me more!

I my self sometime play kalista, i agree that if her Ult is used wrong you can get your support killed, i have done it before :( but if used the right way it can really help a lot.

i also think the problem with kalista is that not many people (in normal's anyway) know what her ult does and thus contributes to the deaths as well.

only problem i run into is ppl that dont want to play with kalista ur supp will literly leave in lane by urself making u useless as hell. i think the ulti would be better if she threw herself problem solved keep the rest of the kit

I agree with that, i have had many cases where my support left me all by my self. in one case the support left for top lane because she said i was "taking her kills" and hates kalista lol

I kind of like the idea of throwing your self, it would stop a lot of problems. Then i would only kill me self :P

like i said, the problem I have is having something in the game that forces my champ to do an action without me choosing it. With a thresh lantern I have to click it which is me as a player making a choice to accept his displacement. If anything, the Ultimate ability should be added to the Supports kit. Once the bond is made, a new icon shows up with a hot key assigned to it. The support hits that icon or hot key to activate the ultimate. This will not effect Kalista as she will not be displaced. It only removes her ability to have an R, which is removed if the support isn't near enough anyway.

If Riot doesn't want to change the ult to give an ally an additional ability when Kalista is near, then Riot needs to give the person Kalista chooses the ability to reject the invitation.

One last thought. It is bad enough that there is a "meta" that dictates where people lane and what champs they lane with where. This just takes it further by saying if you don't play a traditional style of support, this player is going to force you into bad plays. I fully understand that YOU chose where you eject to, but as I have stated several times, I want to chose when I am forcefully pulled out of a play I was choosing to make. I don't want to go in on a person I know I can easily kill, and have a player who doesn't understand my damage output feel it was a bad play and pull me out. It is like having a babysitter, only this time instead of someone telling me I'm building bad, or I don't lay down wards. They are telling me that my positioning isn't what they like and they can now actually force me to change it. This isn't fun. Game = Fun = played FOR ME not FOR Kalista. Let me play my game and removed the troll ability.

This is only good if you are playing a certain style of Support. If you are playing a support that has Kill Potential, this ult can stop you from doing your combos. Also, everyone knows that if a champion is stunned, you don't want to Zhon at that moment. So if you stun a champ and then she ults you, you are losing a lot of your NON ulted potential. The knock up doesn't last as long as many stuns/fears/silences/snares. So really it isn't good unless you personally know your ADC and are talking to them planning out strats. Which is my point, Solo Duo makes this champ a troll pick.

Blame the player, not the game. It's not Riot's fault. If you want some semblance of control over your team's actions, then make a Ranked Team and lead it. We shouldn't be punished because you played with a few bad Kalista's or trolls.

It isn't the fact of good players or bad players. It is the fact of giving a player the ability to FORCE other players to do things. It may be different if the Ritual had a choice attached to it. This would make it possible to REJECT the binding those allowing you the ability to play YOUR game the way YOU intended to play it. Since all choice is REMOVED, it no longer becomes your game to play.

It's still the Kalista player's fault to make a bad choice or to troll you with it. Still not the fault of the champion or Riot. Just because YOU the bound player don't have a choice doesn't mean all players are now free from blame. When the Kalista makes a good play, or saves you using the Ult, do you go congratulate Riot for it? No, you give credit to the player. Why is it all of a sudden different when they make a bad one?

Oh, and one more thing;

YOU GET TO CHOOSE WHERE TO THROW YOURSELF. IF YOU FAIL TO DO SO WITHIN THE TIME LIMIT, THEN YOU ARE THROWN IN THE DIRECTION KALISTA IS FACING. IF YOU FAILED TO LAUNCH YOURSELF, THAT IS ON YOU, NOBODY ELSE.
