Just wanted to say a couple of things that came to mind
Could the focus on new champs etc have a few grounded mechanics to help fix this mobility creep problem as well as provide buffs to kalista to put her back in spot - its clear we cnat fix her to be good in both pro and regulary but things can be created to help deal with her and i believe thats what needs to be done
With Azir he was one of my favourite champs and i feel so handicapped playing him i stopped for a while because of this and just now i felt like playing him again ... i enjoyed picking him reliving his taunts etc again but gameplay wise i was just so sad cos i felt so useless .... well not useless but i felt like if i was playing this champion i would be doing the same thing but better .... I hope a rework of removing his mobility and buffing him in areas would make him much better - Let the emperor command again :S
I find it kind of sad when we get new champions or reworks only to have balancing issues but then completely forgotten about once a problem cant be fixed - Ryze a other example although i am seeing more play of him lately but Azir and Kalista especially :( they have good themes and design (non skill wise) and its a shame to see that go to waste
