Kalista's passive.

Can we revert the nerf to her passive so she can deal 100% of her ad instead of 90%. I feel like this nerf really put her down which i believe makes her not as viable and not picked as much. My reasons behind this is every adc who kites or chases with the same general mechanic, where as you auto attack and decide to move in a direction those adc's will deal all of their ad in those auto attack. Kalista can not. You also have Adcs with mobility built in there kit that gets to deal damage for using said mobility or it amps their damage in some way, like vaynes Q is a auto attack modifier ezreals E with that extra bolt with tristana her landing deals damage and she gets resets corki same thing he gets damage. There is some more examples but i think you get the point.

I feel kalista is a decently hard enough champion to play. Her % damage on W relies on her linked partner to deal the damage and visa versa, her ulti is completely usless her linked partner use's it in the manner you expect.(Which is really hard to do in solo que) Also not to mention her auto attacks fail when the enemy champion you are attacking goes into a unwarded bush or walks around a corner or flash's over a wall your last attack that is in flight just fails to hit, allowing her target to flee and not get a potential kill.

As a former kalista main from last season i feel like this woouold make her much more viable to play again. She is just outclassed by every other adc in the game now. I also feel she has enough holding her back with her linked partner and her auto attacks failing. I don't think she should be punished with a damage nerf when she is using her passive it makes no sense as a late game attack damage carry.

That is all guys please revert the nerf to her passive. Thanks for reading. [slayer-jinx-wink]

the 100% scaling is just one of the problems.

the biggest problems that removed her from the meta are her reliance on her support to have the same attack speed she had before and if her support dies she is fucked.

AND the bigger one that took people awhile to get fed up with and that is that any slow is basically an exhaust for Kalista. with slows, slowing her hop/attack speed basically a huge chunk of this game is an exhaust. Think of how prevalent Frozen Mallet, Rylais, and slows in general are.

I agree with the slows and that was something i missed in my OP but that just goes to how bad of a champion she is right now. She is simply out classed.

I don't remember this being a nerf. I'm pretty sure that was in there by original design.

Nope. They added it around the same patch the nerfed her base and AS scalings in return for the bonus around her oathsworn I believe

Ahh. Didn't know that.

The OP is incorrect as it being what did her in, it was a very early nerf in her history and she excelled for a while despite it, it was all the oathsworn nerfs that did her in. Reducing ult range, cd, W passive frequency and damage. That was what really dumpstered her.

If they remove her hop passive, even better yet put it into her q, then I'll agree to Kliasta buffs. As long as her passive is like that it will be impossible to balance her.

I disagree completely. Her passive is the same as any other kiting/chasing adc, possibly a little slower because she doesn't move as fast when hopping running is better. There is adcs who can attack and move and still keep up with her. So i disagree politely.
