It's Been 4 Months Since Kalista Was Released

And I can't help but notice there's still nothing on the PBE about nerfs or ideas for the rework that should most definitely happen. http://www.surrenderat20.net/2015/03/316-pbe-update.html

Remember when you took Yorick off the free week because he had a toxic playstyle that wasn't fun to go against? That was nice of you, but I also noticed that Kalista is still on the free rotation...and you don't see a problem with her because why?

  • There is no reason for her to hop after every AA - She's a malevolent spirit of vengeance, not a fucking kangaroo.
  • There is no reason a scouting ability should do 20% of your max health.
  • There is no reason her rend can outdamage smite.
  • There is no reason that rend also slows when she has that obnoxious passive.
  • There is no reason her ult can knock people up when she already has too much utility.
  • There is no reason for a champion like this to exist in the modern age of League.

Would anyone at Riot care to defend this abomination and the toxic anit-fun kit that comes with her? If not, then can you answer when you're going to gut or rework this cancerous piece of shit?

Except she gets countered hard by item 3110, item 3143, summoner 3, and Wither.

um people fail to see if you ever catch her early without a minion wave, shes kinda screwed. Also her csing wind up was made longer i believe which makes it difficult to a normal non main player to cs with her

Problem is you don't deal with Kalista like you do every other ADC but people still think that you do, so they complain when the normal strats don't work. Don't focus on killing her, especially with a less-mobile team. Focus on getting her out of the fight, then kill her team. This means she has two choices, both of which are bad - Either she can stick around to help and risk eating hard CC and exploding, or she can kite away from the fight and be useless, maybe killing your chaser while you kill all four other people on her team then go push objectives. That's how the pros deal with her, at least.

This will always be an issue when you have a champion that requires teamwork to deal with and put them in solo-queue where you have no teamwork.
