I noticed that kalista has a low winrate of 45 percent and has the worst performance ranking out of all adcs. Do you think Kalista can afford some buffs? I know she is still strong in competitive play, but I think Riot should also consider how bad she is currently in solo queue. In my opinion, fixing kalista's attack move bug and reverting the ultimate nerf can put her in a more balanced state. Any thoughts?
Draqone1 votesKalista's problem is support synergy. If you can communicate with a support kalista is at least balanced. If you can't, she sucks.
Especially 4U1 votessolo queue has little communication

You could always DuoQ with a friend, now you can even form 5 man premades. Kalista is a totally fine pick then.

PhantomGG1 votes-Kalista main
As a kalista main I have noticed the following things
1-last hitting feels abit clunky, but you get use to it 2-Unless you have a lead, your support is never allowed to roam unless absolutely neccessary, the debuff is simply painful 3-Sorta repeat of number two but, in the mid game and late game, you will get hard core punished if you separate from your teamates, she simply has very bad one v one power now (unless she has a huge lead)
However
1-Her ultimate is still debatebly the best ultimate any adc could ever be given. It's a aoe knock up which allows a wombo of chain cc to be done, that's simply godly 2-Rend+runnans is still disgustingly strong in team fights 3-Her mobilitiy is still hella useful in team fights and gives her a unique identity and play style that only vayne or kindred can somewhat imitate
Conclusion Unless Kalista gets completely gutted, she will always be a good adc, win rates don't always do champions justice, for example Ryze is still a very strong champion in both pro play and high elo, same thing with Azir. Not to sound mean, but buffs really shouldn't be dictated by what low elo people struggle with, if that was how things were buffed or nerfed, than yi would of been removed from the game along time ago. Kalista still brings a lot to the table despite the nerfs, a good Kalista player can still solo carry if she or he has a competent support.
Advise? Find a support to duo que with that you can use skype/discord with. Frankly even when Kalista was OP, I feel you should not be using her with strangers.
My match history with her https://gyazo.com/efbc43771b5b1a427bac2dee4e6db6ee
Not sure when the recent nerfs came into effect, but I know my latest game was under said nerfs.
Especially 4U1 votesThe main issue is i like to attack move with range idicator. There is a bug where kalista's attack speed is slowed if you use attack move. I think I would like this to be fixed. Also, winrate wasn't what i was most concerned about what i was most concerned about was her overall performance. And this winrate and overall performance is from platinum plus ranked players. Never the less, thank you for sharing your advice it was helpful :)

Sounds like a annoying one if what you say is correct, but yeah my thoughts in a long story short, Kalista is a very hard to play champion with a high skill cap, but rewards you with a toolkit that offers a large variety of things. Unless gutted, she will always be a good champion.
No, I dont think Kalista should be buffed.
Fun lil fact, if you are to ever see a elo booster, or a smurf in low elo, they are more than likely playing one of two champions if they are on adc.
Vayne or Kalista
Why? For these two champions have the toolkit to allow them to completely take over games by themselves. These are very dangerous champions to look at when you consider to buff them, which is why you will see more nerfs than buffs in their patch history on the wiki.
Especially 4U1 votesYeah, that's why I suggested small buffs. I do agree kalista nerfs are very needed but I think riot went overboard on this one
