Kaisa's build path is way too forgiving

I'm tired of kaisa building item 3124 and then cherry picking any AP/AD item she pleases just because shes a walking pile of stats

Even Vayne 's item build is less problematic which is another "i have items + stats therefore I kill everything"

No more random and possibly stacked item 3102 item 3157 item 3026 as third/third+fourth items without any downsides of building them please

Apparently, this is why you shouldn't buff every ability on a new champ before people get to learn her.

Hilariously, there was a thread "Don't buff Kai'sai until people master her"... and sure enough - called it.

item 3124 is the problem. This item needs removed from the game. It broken on every one that builds it.

IDK why the balance team didn't just reverse the buffs until they could figure out how to balance her.

She should have never been released TBH with her current kit.

And people wonder why Riot doesn't make true hybrid champions Because you end up with things like Kai'sa with the ability to build nearly any defensive item

That's why she's problematic. It is incredibly hard to build against her damage. She deals a good portion of hybrid damage no matter her build path.

Rageblade needs to be properly looked at or removed imo. It's in the same boat as Banner of Command was before Riot decided to remove it.

This is my main issue with her, it's because of her AP ratios. She has too many build paths, Tanks can't build against it. At least with Vayne she is building AD and has % true damage so you can build armour and HP, Kai'Sa build damage and she does damage. Just look at her Worlds Builds.

You know what Caitlyn builds? Crit. You know what Kog'Maw, the magic damage champ that also builds Rageblade buys? more on hit, it's not a Zhonyas or a Deathcap.

In a way however this is a fault in her design. When Kog'Maw goes AP his playstyle completely changes and it's a different experience. When Kai'Sa builds AP or AD, it's the same.

That's a problem with Rageblade, not Kai'Sa. It's been the bigger issue with her basically the whole time.

When she first released, she needed a couple buffs, namely the range increase. 500 was just way too short to do anything. However, at the same time they buffed her individually, they changed Rageblade (again. How many versions is that now?), and since then it's been a core item to her kit. The item just allows her to build whatever and function through all her capacities. AP is supposed to be an intended build for her, however it's not supposed to be as strong a (or stronger!) DPS build than AD. Rageblade corrupts all that, by allowing her to build AP and use it as both her burst and DPS build.
