Okay, so kalista has been nerfed...... again... i swear this is like her 10th nerf in a row without a single buff. i was okay with all the other nerfs though, she used to be waayyyyy too strong. but this nerf in particular, this one is VERY stupid. with this nerf they lowered her base AS, and lowered her scaling AS, and made it so that when she is close to her oathsworn she gets an attack speed buff. this is incredibly stupid, this makes it so that even more of kalista's gameplay depends on the support, but this time, IT TAKES AWAY FROM HERS. a champions power should not have to depend on someone else! what if your support is dying over and over, but you are doing okay? you just have to deal with significantly lower attack speed? it is between 9 and 27%!!!! that is a TON of attack speed! to be honest kalista did not need a nerf anyway. she isnt even one of the strongest adcs right now. Kalista's win rate is 50% exactly right now, which is PERFECTLY balanced. yet she gets nerfed? come on.

she got nerfed because 1) in higher elos (and competitive) she was fucking busted, and 2) an experienced kalista player means you're going to miss 80% of your skillshots that arnt aoe. she has always been on the strong side, her passive and e stacking in the nature it does is what we have to thank for that. as it stands tho, i think they might have hit her a bit too hard with the nerf hammer, they kinda gutted her. as much as i love her i understand why riot did it, dont have to like it, but i understand why

but im only S IV so what do i know

She's too strong when experienced, they only nerfed her to actually be weaker while alone but the same while with a friend.

Basically it's dangerous to go alone so take this!

IMO they should have done this from the start she already has great power should emphasize more on having her strong when with her partner but weaker while alone.
