About kalista....

... Why do people have such a massive hard on for a disemboweling and/or public execution?

Do people realize how weak she is without her passive, and that her kit revolves around extended skirmishes and not drive-by shootings? It hurts my brain to try to understand why people want her made unviable, or why people want total removal instead of looking for what makes her over powered and just toning it down...

... For the record, i think that kalista does need a nerf. However, her four skills are completely fine and have both strong tradeoffs and satisfying payouts. ASP/movement speed kalista is amongst the more fun builds ive played for off-meta ADCs. Having played kalista, her skills are balanced and interact in a fun way; however, her passive becomes overbearing very quickly.*** Removing the T2 boot scaling fixes the problem kalista has with being "untouchable" in a way that doesnt ruin her or the rest of her kit.***

I would be completely fine with her passive if she didn't have high damage, obnoxious objective control, and good utility. It is just like, shouldn't there be a trade off for high mobility? I guess not when it comes to Zed, Lee, and Kalista.

I don't even feel like her passive is what makes her so unbearable to play against, personally, its her ultimate.

Can you explain that? As both playing and supporting, ive been on both ends of kalistas ult and its frutrating to use it wrong or have it used on you wrongly; Its pretty much an "oh shit my support is dying!" button for most people, either that or its used for sudden engagements/finishing off a runner.

Kalista ults a previously unseen Alistar into your team That's a 2.5-3.5 second disable with next to no warning, plus a perfect headbutt. short cooldown, too

That said I think her ult is great, and think that Riot's plan of reducing her AS mobility scaling will do the trick.

check this out its my take on nerfing kalista but not killing her, it adds a new mechanic to her gameplay that when played well allows her to jump into infinity, but also allows her to lose jumps when she fails or just cowers too much ground while escaping, or enemy can simply force her to go out of jumps

it kinda leaves he playstyle intact
