Kaisa and defensive items

Nouvest··1 votes·1,163 views

When kaisa was being developed, Riot emphasized how she should be a "high risk, high reward" champion that should only work if you're good but people are blind picking her because they know that Kaisa is the opposite of an AD like that, she can basically build every defensive item for a carry and it would be a viable build. ( Zhonya's+ Merc Scim+ Banshees is a legit build on her, Really?)

I may just be butthurt because I face Kai'sas in every game I've played and no matter how well I do in lane, as long as his team can stall long enough for her to get 2 and 1/2 items, she can dumpster everyone in seconds. Which should be my and my team's fault for not ending quickly but she should not be allowed to carry that hard when, if you're decent with her, you can deal as much damage as a twitch with the safety of an ezreal.

Riot, please, at least limit the amount of safety she can build to one item because she may have weaknesses but the advantages she can bring is, certainly, not high risk high reward.

if she doesn't build high damage items, she gets dumpstered. Zhonyas is the only good defensive item on her, but then again, it still gives a good amount of AP, and that's why it's good for her. Banshees cuts down her damage. She shouldn't ever take banshees over nashors unless shes being cc locked.

That's the thing ADC's should always be punished for being in range to be CC locked and being out of position, especially hypercarries, like Kaisa but she has so many survival options with her e and her ult alone and you add defensive items on top of that, and she is basically unkillable in the late game if she's not braindead.

I just had a game where my yi jungle said he could 1v3 as long as kaisa was not one of the three. ??? shouldn't it be the other way around?

But ADCs can build shit like Scimitar, and be safer from CC. She's great and all, shes SUPER strong, no lie, but she cant 1v5 unless the enemy team has only one cc ability and they miss it. She melts like butter if you land a thresh hook on her, for example. Which, most kai'sas don't build Banshees, so that's a viable way to kill her.

I don't mind her building scimitar, I really mind it that she can build zhonya's on top of standard adc safety items like GA and Scimitar and still deal as much damage as a full damage item jinx

I see her every game now and I main ADC, I try to avoid picking OP champs to get better at the game but its just so frustrating to lose to mediocre players that play kaisa just cuz she got a few kills
