Thematic Update To Kalista
So, I saw a large post yesterday that talked about how Some champions had kits that truly expressed their identity, while others failed. Illaoi was a success, and Kindred was a failure in these regards, and another champion mentioned was Kalista. So I thought about how Kalista's Kit doesn't scream "AVATAR OF VENGEANCE". So I thought about how I could keep most of Kalista's Kit while really emphasizing her "Soulbound Oath" and "Seeking Revenge"
So here's a thematic update Idea to Kalista to make her more unique as an ADC while also better emphasizing her identity as the Avatar of Revenge.
Passive: Black Spear- Item active, Kalista picks one ally champion to become her "Soul bound" This champion interacts in different ways with her abilities.
E: Rend - Damage is now capped at 400/550/700/850/1000 damage.
R: Quest for Vengeance: When Kalista's Soulbound dies, For the next 15/30/45 seconds, Kalista gains 30/45/60% AS 15/30/45% MS while hunting down the champion that killed her soulbound partner. Everytime she succeeds in killing (or assisting in the kill of) her soulbound's killer, Kalista's Rend Damage cap increases by 50/75/100 damage. After Kalista gains enough extra damage for her Rend, her Rend now gains bonus effects. 500 increased damage - Dealing at least 600 damage with rend to at least 2 targets now refunds full mana, even if the units don't die. 1500 increased damage - Killing an enemy champion that killed your soulbound partner with rend now reduces your partner's death timer by 10 seconds. 3000 increased damage - Killing an Enemy champion that killed an Allied champion will reduce the allied champions death timer by 10 seconds, if the ally has respawned, then the reduction will apply to their next death.
Kalista works essentially the same with the exception that her Ult is no longer a "save your but from long range" but now triggers an event that allows Kalista's power to build up. and become a true avatar for vengeance, not only for her soulbound, but also her team.
