Aren't those Kalista Nerfs Going Too Far?

Shes Gone Now··6 votes·3,432 views

I mean I don't even play Kalista regularly, I just kinda feel bad for Kalista players at the moment. I get that her winrate is way too good on experienced Kalistas right now but...

General BASE ATTACK SPEED 0.694 ⇒ 0.644 ATTACK SPEED GROWTH STAT 2.8% ⇒ 2.5% W - Sentinel SENTINEL LAPS 7 ⇒ 3 PASSIVE DAMAGE 10/12.5/15/17.5/20% of the target's maximum health ⇒ 5/7.5/10/12.5/15% of the target's maximum health NEW: NEVER LETTING GO Now passively grants Kalista 9-27% bonus attack speed (based on her level) whenever she's near her Oathsworn R - Fate's Call CAST RANGE FROM OATHSWORN 1400 ⇒ 1100 OATHSWORN DASH RANGE 1200 (unchanged)

I think this may be going a little way too far. They worded it like they wanted to nerf her power away from her support, but then proceed to not only nerf her solo power, but nerf her W and Ult, which are your spells that interact with your support... I don't even think that bonus attack speed makes up for the scaling and base attack speed nerfs.

NEW: NEVER LETTING GO Now passively grants Kalista 9-27% bonus attack speed (based on her level) whenever she's near her Oathsworn

huge buff if you ask me, she gets 5% less attacks speed and then gets 27% more attack speed, so a 22% AS buff. take in mind the base AS growth and she is still getting at least 16.6% more attack speed.

they are just making her more thematically unique by making her have to stick with the support.

Is 16% attack speed really worth a 300 ult range nerf, -5% max hp on her W (which is half of the damage at lvl 1), vision nerfs, and solo lane nerfs though :-[

the range of the ult wasn't exactly nerfed, the only change is how far the support has to be from you to cast it, you can still throw him just as far.

she is still getting practically free vision though.

Solo lane kalista isn't a thing, she is fully made to be a duolane adc.

For solo I meant when the support is not there since supports roaming is extremely common and they tend to do it for long periods of time.

thats the thing, Kalista is designed to depend on having the support nearby, you just have to work with him and the team composition.

as long as she's this mad hopping monstrosity no nerfs will be enough

But all you have to do to stop her is lock her down with some cc, and if hopping around is a bad thing, then riven should receive nerds along with gnar and kat.

not far enough imo

As long as she does at least 1 damage per google years, they haven't gone far enough as far as I'm concerned. I hate Kalista and I kinda quit this game for like 6 months in large part because of her, so I hope she gets a lot of nerfs.
