Every Targeted Hard CC spell

Kalista Exists. If you see her, or any champion with dashes out the ass ( ieEkko Riven Ahri ), Take one of these spells.

Riot, stop removing the targeted spells and the instant CC. You killed veigar by removing his instant. You killed Ryze by making his Q useless for harass. You killed Zilean by making his ONLY DAMAGING SPELL impossible to land. Damage spells are one thing. CC is another. The league of mobility is real. I dare you to kill a Kalista with 2.2 attackspeed as somone like Mundo, Chogath, or Heimer. If she is paying any attention, you wont do shit to her.

Not saying to nerf Kalista specifically. The speed isnt a problem, just give us the tools to deal with it.

Some of them aren't the best Like Xin Zhao Q While yes it is targeted... kind of... the problem is that it is melee range and can take some time to get of meaning your target has the time to dash/jump away or Xin Zhao might be CC'ed or peeled of his target And Karma W kind of has the same problem in that if your target has any mobility they can often break the tether before getting snared

And of course you should be careful with Vi R and Maokai W if your target has a lot of mobility After all you don't want to target a LB and have her W + R (+ Flash) into her entire team dragging you along into a 1v5

you're forgetting that more than half of these champions are dog shit and the other half are ultimates

Playing as Trundle against Kalista is legitimately the closest I've come to simply uninstalling the game.

All you did is making a list of champion abilities for Riot to figure out which needs a 0.5 second delay.

Champion Skin3 votes

Well a lot of them do have a delay or rely on a skill shot Like Blitzcrank E most often rely on him hitting Q first And things like XinZhao Q requires 3 attacks without the target flashing/dashing away or Xin Zhao getting CC'ed Or Karma W which also requires some time to get off

Or there are conditional ones like Poppy E and Vayne E which both requires a wall (if not the knock back usually don't provide too much disruption compared to getting a stun)

Ultimate, conditional, and melee instant CC's probably aren't going anywhere anytime soon. Comparing them to Veigar's ability to instantly stun (with a ranged, instant, non-ultimate spell) someone and delete them later in the game really isn't a fair comparison. Or Zilean's ability to basically cheese harass people with unavoidable damage. Numbers can be tweaked and they can be brought back into line.

Champion Skin1 votes

Well they still have the problem with Zilean damage scaling... In that his damage stops scaling at level 9 when he has his bombs maxed out... (After level 9 he only get the ability to do his combo more often but it won't get any higher base damages)

And they did possibly wack his E a tad bit too hard (the increase in % is far weaker than the loss in duration.. mostly because of the caps and reductions on slows/speed buffs)

EffectFX1 votes

Not saying that isn't the case. But old zilean unavoidable harass was a pain in the ass for several match ups way back when. Riot is steadily and slowly attempting to remove long-longish range unavoidable damage/cc from non-ultimates abilities.

Champion Skin1 votes

Well I think Zilean might need some compensation and buffs

After all the things that has been nerfed Passive - no longer global Q - Reliability W - doesn't work on ult (giving ult a longer cooldown compared to before) E - weaker then before simply because high % ms buff or slow isn't as effective as a long lasting one R - shorter duration (and kind of longer cooldown)

The advantages Q - the possibility to stun W - Doesn't have to use as much mana to spam this to reduce ult cooldown

That's the only advantages for Zilean with the changes as far as I can see... and I simply don't see it being enough to put Zilean in a good spot

Ryze can harass plenty. Its called E, and its mean af if you use it right. Throw in that stun of his even meaner.

FooDang6 votes

I wish it was a stun...

Baron of Bread4 votes

That would be so broken, oh my gosh. The perma stun would be ridiculous.

Orbv1 votes

Seeing as Q is the shortest CC and gathers the most dmg from putting ranks in, it APPEARS to be the go to spell. People are still getting used to the nerf of Q W E Q in lane.

Yeah not sure why they give Leblanc right click reliably damage and an escape, Kalista right click damage and tons of mobility, but they keep nerfing the champions that already had -50% winrate

The Bardic Gay1 votes

-50% winrate champs like, oh, Leblanc or Kalista for instance?

Winrate is not good proof of strength, much less proof of having a good kit for the game's health.

Llanite1 votes

Hard CC should required special conditions to trigger. Always-ready + point-and-click could resolve with softer CC like root.

If the trend holds, the following will have their CC reworked soon Alistar Lulu Pantheon UdyrTaric Aatrox Irelia Jax

Mellori1 votes

Taric is supposed to be getting a rework soon.

Uhoh.

Fadedpf1 votes

Sad thing is not even half of these cc's are able to deal with kalista 100%

Reikken1 votes

you left out the two with the most spammable targeted (ranged) stuns Taric Annie

manbearswine1 votes

you realize that half of these are melee ranged right? and that it's awfully hard to get into melee range with kalista?

Also a good chunk of these are situational(like poppy,vayne,or karma) which are again very hard to apply on something so mobile.

AFK Push1 votes

I wouldn't say XinZhao or Udyr are good picks against Kalista. Kalista can kite an udyr that has ghost and randuins. Xin Probably won't be able to get all 3 autos off as well he will have to blow his e and ult to maybe get that knockup.

Alistar's groung pound isnt targeted lol

supes the lost1 votes

He pointed out headbutt, which is the getting tackled by a mad bull skill. Not the ground punching.

Robert Smith1 votes

Sure it is. He targets the ground, so a 100% landed skill

AFK Push1 votes

Also, if you are considering udyr's stun for this list then renekton and irelia should both be on this list.

Centuros1 votes

Quite a few of these are Melee skills or autoattacks, which don't work very well on Kalista.

"Killed Ryze" lol Ryze is broken af right now just wait until 5.10 hits pro play

DeusVult1 votes

70% of these are auto-attack modifiers, so they barely even count

PKP PunchaNig1 votes

But ryze doesn't even need to harass anymore. You just farm up a shield and tear at level 6 and go back to lane and press every ability as fast as you can while being 2 inches from whoever it is you're murdering.

I had a thornmail, challenging cinderhulk randuins + exhaust and couldnt even catch a Kallista with all of the slows in the world. Very annoying

Karma W is not a hard CC.

Not sure why people think it is. It's a snare. It doesn't disable casting/attacking/using items.

Ratbert1 votes

people consider movement stoppers the real hard cc now. so silence is considered soft

SouL1ess1 votes

But he didn't mention the other ton of snares/roots in the game...

Edit: Oops, he did include Maokai W (but not his Q) and Ryze W. Nevermind

Champion Skin1 votes

Why would he include maokai Q? It isn't a targeted ability?

Ryze is op tho
