The sad state of Kalista

Ok so Kalista has been absolute and utter garbage for about 2 seasons now and like it's awful. Shes a high skill champ with no rewards, she has no early game damage and gets outscaled by literally everyone. Like here is an example. I won lane (due to a heavy damage support and a good jg) i had like 40 cs amd 4 kills over kai sa, kai not only out damaged me but she could 1v1 me at any point (i had both a botrk and a bloodthirster so lifesteal out the ass) she takes 4 items to even deal damage and even then every single champ can fight her with literally 0 problems even no mobility champs fuck her up. Shes not even playable anymore. She has no role, she cant adc she loses every lane and cant actually carry, she doesn't have enough damage to be a mid lane adc like the occasional jhin or lucian, she has too weak a jg clear to move there like ez did or kindred, she isnt worth losing the tank top lane cause she cant carry anyway and obviously no support. Her kit is (mostly) unique she just needs a buff of some sort.

Something doesn't add up. You claim you were up 40 cs and 4 kills at the end of the laning phase, but kai'sa was ahead of you in gold up until about 16 minutes into the game.

As far as balance goes, Riot has stated Kalista is one of the champions they're not focusing much on because her kit is very difficult to balance, so she's intentionally kept weak in solo queue, since she's much stronger in pro play with coordinated teams. That said, she is getting some adjustments next patch.

Base AD increased from 62 to 67 AD per level increased from 3.6 to 4 Attack speed per level increased from 3.5 to 4 Pierce (Q) damage increased from 10/70/130/190/250 to 20/85/150/215/280

Sentinel (W) [Removed] No longer gains AD when near Oathsworn

Rend (E) Now deals 50% damage to epic monsters.

What? I love Kalista, how she chases me down so efficiently and kills me. [sg-ahri-1]

Maybe your build/runes are suspect?
