Make Kalista's Black Spear voluntary

The Horned King·May 21, 2015·3 votes·359 views

Just went through the involuntary Black Spear of Royally Screwing Over the Squishy Support.

Again.

Because for some reason, ADCs in solo queue still don't realize that picking Kalista after someone has already picked a squishy support is a bad idea, and even when told in lobby to try putting Black Spear on someone else, they still don't. This is a toxic experience being enabled by a poor design choice.

You really have limited control as support over where you can go with it, and as an escape, it's slower than the flash + talisman you were already using / trying to use when you got suppressed and yanked from the backline onto Kalista's position as a starting point.

Which still puts you closer to the front line than an actual escape, if you were backline and she was up front. And also interrupts anything you were trying to do. This is getting me and my teammates killed.

Yeah. Not saying I completely disagree.

But I would like to point out that if you COULD choose not too, I see plenty of games where one idiot or another wouldnt accept and leave Kalista missing half her kit all game.

While I understand the irritation at not getting a choice, its better for the champ oerall and the game's she is in, in general, to not have a choice.
