When I think of a vengeful undead spirit who makes pacts with others...

I think of:

  • Infinite zero-cost dashes
  • Long-range harass
  • Better-than-smite Baron/Dragon secure
  • Free wards
  • %health magic damage
  • Large AoE knockup

What I don't think of:

  • An ability that has anything to do with vengeance or retribution

I should be a game designer for League. Riot pls.

Q is just a thrown spear for vengeance W is how she finds the people hiding from revenge. The bonus magic dmg is how she is working with her soulbound to exact revenge sooner E is a metaphor for the build up of sins destroying you all at once when it comes crumbling down R is the ghostly passage you get when you resign yourself to seeking revenge for all of eternity.

The details and numbers aren't important.

Oh cool! I can do this too!

When I think "Scarecrow," I think of:

  • Instant 2.25 second CC
  • Oppressive healing and damage
  • Teleport that deals massive aoe damage when you get there
  • Needs to buy a clock to be good
  • Throws air to attack (WTF rito???)
  • Buys books and shit (OMG, RIOT, scarecrow can't even READ)

What I definitely don't think of:

  • Standing in a field

I should be a league designer, riot pls hire

tl;dr for those who don't know how sarcasm works: If you don't take 30 seconds to think about how Kalista's skills connect to her lore, I will gladly take 30 seconds to mock you.

idk, I can think of any ablities that have to do with vengeance that makes sense either after all, carrying out of act of vengenace isnt limited to any particular action

impaling people with spears works for me

Galio Fiora Jax and even Rammus have more vengeful abilities than Kalista.

Although the whole "spirit of vengeance" is mostly tied to her lore. She's supposed to be this spirit that other people summon to help them enact vengeance. So when she enters the rift, she SoulBinds to someone to help that someone get revenge.

Remember that cinematic where Kalista impales some guy? That happened cause some other guy called her and then bonded his soul to Kalista.

Frantically hops around like a frog on speed. Yeah, that's definitely a spectral champion.

You don't choose vengeance. Vengeance chooses you. Too bad if you don't like it!

Kalista is just a piece of shit. No other words can describe her than that.

Well actually I do feel the part with the free wards and long range harass does fit the spirit part of undead spirit.

Infinite dashes...AoE knock-up, that insane damage, etc., not so much
