Why is Kalista Allowed to Have a Bottom Level Skill Floor?

I would be fine if all she had was a high skill ceiling, but don't we think it's time to remove the ability to spam smart attack-move and get full use out of her passive?

If you had to right click or attack move, then right click the ground during the animation to activate her passive, she would be a much healthier character.

This is not coming from someone butthurt from playing against her. This is someone who loved her kit until I learned I could just spam 1 bound Mouse button on the ground. It took all of the challenge and color out of the character. Why bother having mechanics when I can just hit a single Mouse button 1000 times and get better results?

She needs to have this aspect removed. It's getting her numbers nerfed when the only thing she needs is to have her skill floor raised.

What Kalista needs is a damn rework. Tired of CT's broken concepts. I don't even blame the balance team, these pitiful designs make their jobs Hell. She goes beyond countering melees, she counters shorter range ADCs and any support that doesn't have hard CC or relies on skillshots.

Champions that warp the game around them are just retarded.

I agree, she needs to be more reliant on her marked ally. Like maybe her passive only works while they're in tether range.

Kill the support or get them out of range and no more hops. But the ability to spam a single button and do what should be a mechanically heavy procedure is the most broken part of her kit.

Seriously I would like to know why the people downvoting me think it's okay for her to be able to kite unlike any other character by literally mashing a single button when any other character has to rely on their movement speed and skills to try to kite. It takes 0 mechanical skill to kite as kalista and that's fucking stupid.

Everyone else has to right click to kite. She does not. Everyone else has to right click to chase. She does not.
