How do I REJECT Kalista's stupid spear???

S0NA·Nov 20, 2014·13 votes·4,952 views

3x in a row now I've had this stupid champion throw it at me and my character automatically accepts it without input from me.

How do I reject this pile of trash champ? I want nothing to do with her.

If you play support there is no way to "reject" the spear. It's designed for support/marksman coop. It does tons of damage. If you don't like it don't play support. That bot lane role is designed for people who can teamwork. Maybe, if you understood the concept of teamwork, you might not rage so much. item 3070

what about when she binds to me against my will and i'm not playing support. riot should not have made this possible. this is totally griefable and rage worthy. maybe you fanboys should actually think about it before criticizing people for not wanting to be CC'd by their own team.

Doctor TrendyNov 21, 20141 votes

I personally ask before bonding with someone if i'm not bot lane. If i am bot lane of course i'm going to bond without their consent, It should be expected because i'm going to use all possible mechanics. I'm not going to rage if you keep stealing my last hits when you have relic shield. So why should you complain if someone uses the spear bond. It's a part of the game. Like honestly, if you don't like it. Don't play.

stealing my last hits when you have relic shield

LOL that gives you the gold. they are making those last hits easier. you get all the same benefits of getting the last hit plus healing. how would that make you rage? how is that a disadvantage for you at all? are you really comparing that to being CC'd by your own teammates? HAHA you're hilarious. also you're only considering yourself as a player. how about considering the trolls. why would you encourage giving trolls tools against their teammates? just because you don't use them that way, doesn't mean they should be there. you can still use these tools the way you do now if they make the player need consent to bind and the trolls will not be able to. why do you have a problem with this as a solution? why are you angry at people for their game being ruined? why no empathy? if this criticism doesn't apply to your playstyle than why are you taking offense from it? what are you so angry about? it is valid criticism. try seeing things from a perspective other than your own.

So someone else's pick dictates what we're even allowed to play now by your logic instead of just making a popup that says yes or no. Great plan.

Sorry, I like support.

I despise this marksman. She can bond with the jungler. I don't care to be picked up and thrown like a projectile, thanks.

Seriously though, how do I NOT pick it up?

when she tries to throw you, you can choose to go the opposite direction if you don't like her plan.

Last game I had her grab me from over a wall, then flash into the enemy team. Trying to 2v4. Got us both killed. No, I'd rather just NOT BE FUCKING GRABBED IN THE FIRST PLACE.

SkiasNov 21, 20141 votes

Yeah, I was a jungle Maokai and she bonded me. Then she went 1v5 and pulled me with her. I died right away.

StephenizgodNov 20, 20145 votes

Well the bonding is meant to be done with a support, its to fully utilize her damage potential not to mention being able to use her ult whenever. If you do not like kalista do not be support, you are going to be bonded with because it would be dumb not to bond with your support.

Well any Kalista that ever gets me as support can have fun without an ultimate.

StephenizgodNov 20, 20144 votes

...Well i understand your frustration, she is just released and not everyone is good with her, but you also need to learn how to play WITH Kalista from now on. Yes there are going to be bad moments but you kind of need to do half the work, whats the point of supporting if you arent going to support.

I'm going to support. But when I'm playing my main (Sona) and you pick a champion whose ultimate is to THROW ME INTO THE ENEMY TEAM, I'm not going with it. I say I'm going Sona support right from the get-go. If they pick someone who synergizes horribly with her, then I'm not going to pay the consequences with my death. They can pay with theirs.

Maybe I wouldn't mind if I mained Braum, but I don't.

WheatloafNov 20, 20145 votes

Sona synergizes pretty well with Kalista, particularly with her Sentinel passive. You just have to politely ask your Kalista not to Ult you when yours is down. If they can't understand that, then, well... head for the hills.

NarasimhaNov 20, 20144 votes

That actually not a bad idea with Sona. Aoe Knockup into AOE stun.

StephenizgodNov 20, 20142 votes

Well i think Sona and Kalista make a fine team if you have cooperation. Also you act like its their fault they aren't picking someone with synergy, when you aren't making any effort to synergize witht them either. Plus Kalista was just released so of course every game is going to have a Kalista, if you dont like Kalista do not support for a bit. They want to use the new champ and it is unfair of you to ruin their experience simply because you dislike the champion.

SkiasNov 21, 20141 votes

It doesn't do damage.

StephenizgodNov 21, 20141 votes

Beardyface86Nov 21, 20144 votes

You know what also sucks? Kalista's ult has no warning or lead up. it just happens. It requires a degree of coordination that simply doesn't exist in pugs. its just a yank without warning.

GnomeDigestNov 20, 20143 votes

I cant believe you cant reject the spear. I guess Riot wanted to make sure she could be abused by trolls as much as possible.

Agreed.

And it specifically reads that "IF YOU ACCEPT" the bond will form.

i don't know why all these fanboys are criticizing you for having multiple games ruined by a teammate. yes this is a team game. yes this champion's kit can be used for team work. however, it can also be used to grief. it can also ruin a team mates plans. it can be used against team work as easily as it can be used for teamwork. i've had whole team fights destroyed by kalista ulting at the wrong time, which takes a teammate out of the fight and disorients them worse than most enemy CC.

i'm with you rortik, we should have a choice to reject this STUPID mechanic. i don't even want to play league for fear of an allied kalista.

jeffeypopNov 21, 20141 votes

seriously all these awful responses and downvotes are from people who play kalista being like "i don't ruin my teammates games". why don't they consider that someone else might ruin their teammates games and that shouldn't be possible. same reason you can't attack your teammates. same reason no other champ has ever had any control over their teammates.

lol go start a normal and then let everyone call before you. Then get raged at for not supporting.

Deal with it the same way you deal with Nidalee's spears; dodge them or get a banshee's veil or something. Haven't faced Kalista yet, but I figured she'd be the source of a lot of complaints about balance. After riot released a bunch of champions that didn't make a huge splash (looking at Gnar Vel'Koz and Azir, for some reason) it's about time they screwed up and released one that's way out of wack. Just look at Jinx; she's still pretty darn strong, but she had to be nerfed because her passive is insane, and pow-pow's attack speed buffs were way too good. Just wait, if people complain that much about it, and there is actually a balance issue, I'm sure Riot will fix it fairly quickly.

If that's not the case and everyone's just being whiny about something that's not a problem, Riot will keep Kalista as she is.

He's talking about an ally Kalista bonding with him. He's complaining because he can't reject the binding.

Sorry if I'm conditioned to people complaining about things like Nid's poke, and how people are saying she's unbalanced and unfair. I have a general idea of what Kalista does, but in my defense, you could have been more specific about what part of Kalista he was talking about. You said "throwing a spear at" your champ, so that could mean either. :/

The whole not being able to reject it thing could also mean a number of things, such as denying her the skill shot.

I'm not usually this "aggressive" if you can call it that, until someone agitates me, or I get annoyed. I saw the question, thought he was complaining about something that's really nothing new (remember, thought he was talking about an enemy Kalista throwing spears, not an allied Kalista), and got a little annoyed, and answered his question. Really, he's the one overreacting. Perhaps my annoyance level was a little overstated by my original word choice. :|

Seriously, I'm not one of those toxic players that destroys this game; if what I said is considered "bad" in any sense of the word, then I must be getting the worst players in the game in solo queue, because I see a whole lot worse in pretty much every game.

There's no reason to be that much of a dick, sure he didn't understand, doesn't mean you need to go batshit. But yeah, Kalista in general is a broken (Both ways) and stupid adc, and'll be nerfed soon enough

Bottom lane has always been hard for me because you have to work with someone you never met, at the same time they can often be greedy players that will talk trash to you while you try to help them and you have to get over that and do it anyways.

The way oathsworn is handled so far is pretty bad.Specially in soloQ.It doesn't give you the idea that you are making some kind of pact like brothers in arms.Instead it seems that you become her bitch whether you want it or not.This becomes more evident when the Adcs get so angry when you don't follow them like a slave when they play Kalista.They should rename Kalista to ''Needy Goth Girlfriend'' Jinx

But like someone said before Kalista was released.I think she was made for duos and E-sports not soloQ but who knows i might be wrong.

Trolls will be trolls. I can't reason with someone so ignorant, they don't understand the basic mechanics of the game. I said it once and i'll say it again. If you don't like it, don't play.

I'm not going to lie, I would try to throw you into the enemy team. You probably would just feed and piss me off anyway. Maybe learn to not be so toxic, and you might find mechanics like this are actually cool.

what have i said that's toxic or ignorant? you are the one continuously insulting people here and ignoring valid arguments instead of responding to them. that all but defines toxicity.

trolls will be trolls. but there is a reason why riot has not given them the tools to control their teammates. i've said it before and i'll say it again: i think the mechanic is pretty cool for duo players. however, requiring consent does take away the grief. requiring consent DOES NOT take away the awesome mechanic. what exactly is it about requiring consent that you have a problem with? maybe you could learn to be less toxic. practice what you preach, fellow. raging on your teammates and throwing the game for any reason is toxic, which you're admitting to in this post.

DurzakaNov 21, 20141 votes

I can almost guarantee that Riot is going to change this shortly. It appears to be more of a bug or oversight than anything, because when she uses Black Spear, it throws something on the ground (which can be moused over and interacted with), but as of right now, instead of needing to click the spear, it is automatic.

I don't know about you, but I've never seen anyone ask how to reject a skillshot. Just read the post next time, it wasn't too hard to grasp what the OP was talking about from the context. You just saw the "Kalista" and "spear" and slammed on the post button to lay a sick burn on the OP. It's okay, it happens to the best of us, stop trying to justify it and move on, keeping at it makes you look sillier than if you just left that one post to rot in this thread.
