Kalista is too damn clunky

lasthitting with her is as hard as lasthitting with karthus and guess what ... karthus uses q instead of autos for that her bounces glitch sometimes causing her to make the jump aniimation without actualy moving Her bounces reduce her atack speed The time frame at which you need to click for the bounce is too short to effectively use it

Playing her is literaly the worst experience ever because you need to fight your own champ instead of enemy team

I don't like the way she feels and would never put the time in to get used to it, but some people seem to really enjoy her and have figured out how to play her quite effectively. Not all champs are for all people.

I frequently out-CS the enemy laner when I play as her, getting CS comparable to or better than I do with other ADCs. I think you need to Git Gud.

I found that her animation was poor, yes, but she can dash mid animation. It's not quite as long as old Karthus, but it has leniencies that Karthus didn't (including that she's an ADC and can last hit better because she buys AD)

**>her bounces glitch sometimes causing her to make the jump aniimation without actualy moving ** Yeah, when this happens she moves what looks like a very very short distance. It doesn't really matter much, but the jump animation playing is disorienting in duels if you don't move much.

**>Her bounces reduce her atack speed ** I'm not convinced of this, but it could be the case and is worth looking into.

>The time frame at which you need to click for the bounce is too short to effectively use it

certainly, since you thought it was as long as Karthus', that you can click a second time during it? just right click twice as fast as you normally would, but alternate right clicking with shift and without. voila, kalista main.

she cant cancel her autos at all you click to jump and she jumps once she finishes entire autoatack animation

autoatack is long but the time that you can click to jump is much shorter than that, ofc at higher atack speed it becomes fast but early lasthitting is the most important

the problem is not in clicking the problem lies in moving the mouse from your champion to enemy all the time

Correct that the auto doesn't "cancel" per se like other carries, but she can actually jump before or as she throws the spear if youre fast enough with your input.

As you're attacking with Kalista, notice that little line under her that points to your cursor whenever you attack. You can jump any time that line exists, which is during the entire animation.

Reread what I said and actually try it. You don't need to move your mouse at all if you're using shift click, which is attack move (commands your champion to move to an area unless an enemy is within range, in which case cancel the movement and attack the enemy).

It means you can attack an enemy without having to click on them and allows you to do several more inputs than having to move your cursor all the goddamned time. I understand your frustration with that as I used to be a Draven main. It's also why I have an easier time with Kalista than many.
