Riot would never give Kalista passive to a melee.

Next ADC released gets the passive: "Balanced gameplay: this champion does not take any damage at all from melee champions"

*but they take 11% more damage from ranged champions Riot: We feel this will increase strategic diversity while playing against Dickbutt, The Melee Fucker.

THANK YOU!

This is the second time I've seen this idea come up, and both times I've wondered "Did they even think about how horrible it would be to try and use a champion like that?". Glad I'm not the only one!

Melees don't have 0 range, just saying.

They'd have a shot at sticking to a carry if that happened.

Yea no way would a melee champ be able to hop and attack at the same time . Also its not like any specific melee champs are designed to stick to targets or pick .

I mean could you imagine a ranged champ who could dash around like or . Although I do pretty much consider a ranged champ since he can use every ability from range at no cost.

Now sarcasm aside, Kali is obviously Riots first attempt at a mobile ranged carry so its obviously going to take a bit. You remember when people cried that Teemo was far to mobile and could kite with ease. Yea thats before 99% of the champs had dashes. Mobility is a hard thing to balance around, if it wasnt, wouldnt be so hated. The problem is that Riot seems to think mobility and burst should go hand in hand. I wouldnt mind seeing mobile sustained damage dealers but when someone can out move you and out burst you, this leaves a huge void where counter play should exist. Counter play ends up revolving around ranged carries hiding like scared bitches hoping that their team can pick or engage first before some wild appears out of nowhere and smashes your face in, or you use hourglass making them worthless for 2 seconds and your team rapes them.

This game is less about out moving and thinking your opponent and its becoming more about hard counters. Zed insta kills you and the other team is winning. You buy hourglass. Zed wastes his time trying to kill you and now your team is winning. Insane burst damage leads to immunity and flash like items which leads to stale play. Id prefer a game where hourglass and sash are not mandatory items. The problem with that is you now cant have costless champs with mobility, range, and burst all in one package...

i swear to god if people keep referring to rengar as mobile -_-. Rengar is probably the LEAST mobile of anyone on that list, because he has to be in a bush and it's targeted. And before you say, "but renguh ult" think about how fucking long the cooldown is. Skillshot based sticking power does not help as she can simply throw a Q and dodge easily, Akali is broken, Lee q would be dodged nonstop, blitz same, thresh same, Vi would hit but she'd be dragged so far back into their team that she'd die instantly, WW better hope he kills her with ult and ult alone, Wukong will e, knock her up, and then proceed to be kited, Zed might be able to kill her, Talon would E then just get kited, Renek would get kited. Kalista can dash around way more than Lee Sin and Zed. Your sarcasm sucks because you don't know what would happen in the game. Funny you say the game's about hard counters, because kalista hard counters nearly every melee you put on that list.

Now sarcasm aside, Kali is obviously Riots first attempt at a mobile ranged carry so its obviously going to take a bit.

Ignoring Graves, Ezreal, Vayne, Caitlyn, Corki, Lucian and Trist of course.

CC is a counterplay for any champion btw..

Just so we're clear, Kalista passive would on a melee champion wouldn't work at all. She'd jump right out of melee range and then not get another jump.

It'd be worse than being rooted after every autoattack. Seriously, you only think you want this.

I know this exact version of the passive wouldn't work for a melee. But if there was a version that would work and be just as strong for melees, Riot would be like lol no wtf broken.
