A Kalista Mains Thought On Kiting Mechanics/The State of Kalista

Spectre Spears·1/28/2020, 7:02:58 PM·11 votes·8,779 views

I recently changed my settings because I came across a video pointing out how useful the "Attack/Move" setting is, as well as the "Toggle - Attack Champions Only" setting. I use the Attack/Move a lot when in hectic kiting situation as a sort of panic button.

However, I noticed that when I tried to apply both of these settings at the same time they do not work in tandem.

I'm curious if this is something the development team would ever change?

I have noticed that in my ranked games whenever I lose lane I get cussed out by all of my team mates and told that I'm "Inting, throwing away their LP or trolling" by just picking Kalista Regardless of the fact that my previous two games I had gone 16-0 with her.

I really don't feel like she needs a rework, maybe some small buffs here or there but I love her how she is. I feel like having these two settings active at the same time would be something that would help Kalista get out of the pile of "meme" champions that get you reported when you pick them even though they're more than viable.

Thoughts?

IDK, I feel like what you are asking for is easy to accomplice with training.

It's just a straight up QoL buff for many adcs in low elos. And I don't think we need that

Kalista is a balance abomination that when strong could outsmite junglers, invalidated entire swaths of 50+ champions just due to her passive, and with her W passive and get out of jail free card + targeted, uninterruptible AoE hard CC unmitigated by tenacity ult, she becomes pick/ban in competitive if ever allowed to be good (literally had 100% presence in worlds during Ardent META, with 80 bans out of 80 games played she is that fucking disgusting if ever decent in coordinated play, to the point where the only option was to ensure that blue side COULD NOT in ANY GAME PERIOD first pick her).

She needs to lose her passive, W passive, and her ult, and have a damage cap on Rend against neutral monsters-- Or essentially, to be redesigned from the ground up, or she can never be allowed to be decent, let alone buffed back into the META.

Are you asking for attack move but with champion priority targeting? Sounds cool to me.

Shouldn't be too hard to implement either.

i recently played kalista and i used to think she was garbage because everyone kept saying she was, and then i played her and ive been winning so many more games, shes r%%%%%edly broken. i can execute 3 people from the same range as a caitlynn Q and it resets each kill? you can execute minions to cs easier? your ultimate makes sett and malphite harder to deal with?! your autos kite FOR you?! why tf would you ever not play kalista as adc XD

Waw , a lot of people here make her look like a broken champion , I main kalista for so long , I know for a fact that if you pick tanks and champions that slow her she is as good as a minion , she barely deal dmg , and I'm talking that this happen even when she is 20/0 , it just doesn't matter , one slow and she won't put 3 autos before the end of the fight .

I hate how her autos still do 90% damage. In this meta, that's like removing 30% of your damage in a single fight. I still like to play her, but her early game is so hard with all the nerfs, and her late game is almost impossible with the number of assassins/high cc champs running rampant. Also, I never have the problem with attack move because I don't use it. Yes, I literally click to auto, then click to jump, years of experience has made me really good with doing that, but I highly recommend that you don't try that because it can easily lead to misclicking, and is really hard to do sometimes

I don't know, but I'd like that too...

To be fair with your team-mates, regardless of your own performance, she's a 45% winrate champion, in the bottom 5 of worst underpowered champions. And of those 5, she's also the one with the smallest pickrate. Your mates shouldn't flame you no matter what, flaming never help, but they are justifiably annoyed that you chose to play with a handicap.

Judging from how many points you have on her it looks like you're quite new to her, either that or it's a smurf account.

The only time Kalista will be come remotely viable again is if they revert the change they made to where slows, slow her attack speed. Too many slows in the game and so many supports can make nonexistent.
