can we please do something reasonable? Like limiting the damage of her execute to epic monsters, setting her passive on a CD, etc. I don't really understand how that change fixes anything that frustrates people about Kalista.
I will try and explain Riots clever logic behind balancing champions:
Step 1: Create a stupid broken and toxic champion, maybe overpowered if you like. Step 2: Wait until the community is sated with hate against that champion. Step 3: Nerf all things of that champion except for the things that are hated so that the champion gets horrendously weak and underpicked. Step 4: Finally address the actual problem using a rework or nerf while compensating the champion with a lot of nerfs. Step 5: Watch the mains of that champion cry. Rinse and repeat.
Note that Kalista is currently in Step 3. Edit: Yasuo has just finished (or rather has been finished by) Step 3 and i still waiting for Step 4 to remove one of his passives, his W, endless dashing and "synergy" with the likes of Vi and Malphite. Same for Poppy (who is being worked on), Veigar and Kassadin are already through the whole cycle while Zilean skipped Step 3.
I would rather see her Innate scale based on her movespeed (rather than boots) so that she isn't immune to slows.
I just wish her passive wasn't an entire long-ass paragraph to read.
Why must they make autoattacks more complicated of all things? Just nerf the fucking rend or hit her mobility, not make her even more complicated. That's just making the issue worse.
"Kallista is way too mobile and her Rend is ridiculous, so let's nerf her aa damage." Riot is trolling us...
IMHO, I think that they should lower her AA damage and up her rend damage. Make her a burst damage ADC. That way, if you start getting stacks, you have to fall back or risk getting killed. Right now she has sustained damage and burst which makes her very toxic, especially combined with all that mobility.
You guys complain about Kalista but every time I see one I pick one specific support: Sona. All her hopping does jack-shit to avoid Sona Q's. Can't hop around and dodge an ability if it isn't a skillshot. Even if I don't use Sona I still land hooks on Kalista's with my Nautilus with a fairly decent rate of success. Her weakness is point-and-click abilities like Nautilus ult, Sona Q, Leona Q (granting you are good enough to land the E first), and so on. She is not that broken that she can not be played against. Same goes for all champs that people cry about that are "OP". They have decisive weakness that you as a player have to be smart enough to exploit.
remove the active on her Rend. make it a timer that resets everytime she autos the target. that way, she has to plan ahead instead of "muh nuke"
it would destroy her ability to get objectives (unless she's really good) because she would have to stop autoing the target for the nuke to go off.
The thing about kalista is, she'll always be frustrating, because Riot won't remove her passive because the passive DEFINES, what Kalista is, its like removing Tryndameres ult and changing it entire, that ability defines Tryndamere and without it, he wouldn't be the same. Kalista was already released and Riot can't remove her or change her passive. She's not broken, she's just annoying, so deal with it when you play against kalista or ban her.
Technically, her passive IS on a cd. It just happens to be limited by her AS, is all.
