As a new player, why does Kalista even have a global sound?

It doesn't seem that important. Kalista is like a rabbit hopping all over the place, and then she screams "IT IS NOT YOUR TIME" or something. I don't care if she ults because nobody ever does anything good with it.

Why doesn't Ziggs' nuke get a global sound? That sounds cool. "ENEMY NUCLEAR LAUNCH DETECTED!" (Command and Conquer fans rejoice)

I heard Karthus has a global ult, so I looked it up and he doesn't have a global sound. I wanna know about the giant bolt of god-like magic about to hit me, not a bunny screaming and swallowing her young.

As a new player.. how is this your biggest problem that you come on here to complain about it? o-o

I'm sure there might be other things that rustle your jimmies?

Rek'Sai and Sion ults are both global sounds also...

Honestly was not aware that it was a global sound and I play a lot of kali lately. talk about awareness right? any way. I think the global sound is to freak out other laners more then anything. she can trigger the ulti and other laners MAY play safer if it is trigger while she is in the fog of war. that knock up is not a waste either if its directed properly gives kali 1.5 seconds to load you up with all sorts of nasty before the rend hits. also if she is slinging a CC beast at you its the last thing in the world you want to here it really is. Kali throwing a Leona or braum is a frelling nightmare. So if this is a thing its better to listen for it and be sure she is still in lane cause it can WRECK you when used correctly.

did some experiments with my friends turns out it is a global sound. might be a bug from last patch cause I dont ever remember it being heard across the map before last patch. I recommend making a bug report about it cause that seems like it should not be a thing. though by proxy it is an interesting method of map control against players who play by sound. a mental is that meant for me or is she still down there? slight hesitation where the player checks their map to be sure.

League is as much mental as it is physical ability to preform, I also know its ridiculous to mention physical performance, but honestly if your fingers are not hitting skills right or your limited in some way that prevents proper execution of skills be it a gamers joint up to missing limbs. also if globals are to have sounds that can be heard across all maps then Ashe, Ezeal, twisted fate, GP, pantheon, Ziggs and any other that I miss that dont make a sound till your either hit or passes right by you should trigger some sort of noise before it touches down. but honestly that would be silly for most of them as TF makes an eye above you a visual warning, Ziggs and pantheon you get the indicator on where it/they are landing, GP's ulti hits as soon as he casts, and ashe and Ez would be silly if they could be heard globally firing their ultis. as for any one else I missed other then Rek and Sion as those are covered in the post above.
