You know what would be a meaningful Kalista nerf?

Reducing her auto + rend range. Why does she have the same/more range than almost every ADC with twice the mobility? Does not make sense. The only thing she is missing is AoE which is conveniently taken care of thanks to Runaan's synergizing with her kit (and the buff to recurve).

Because she doesn't have their attack speed+attack animations or damage abilities...Short range ADCs are short ranged because they're bursty, not because they're mobile.

she should be shorter in range

25-50 less aa range

50-100 less e range

No, she really shouldn't. It's not infinite Lucian Dashes, it's infinite Auto-attack jumps. If she can't be in range of the enemy adc, she has no mobility; she can't kite out of range. That's what she's designed around. Kiting. Nerfing her core identity when she isn't even close to the most dominant ADC in the game is unreasonable.

Also, her E range is already 200 units less than Twitch's. It's not that long. You can easily walk out of it. I think the real problem is that, unlike Twitch's, it doesn't have a visual indicator. It's a burden of knowledge thing, a lot of people may not realize that if they back-up the spears will fall out.

Kalista isn't bursty with her rend? ^ LOL. They wouldn't need to touch anything in her already overloaded kit if they just reduced her range by 25-50.

The kind employees at Riot Games have included a "Reply" system built into these boards. I'm sure they would appreciate it if you would use it too.

rend takes a while to stack up which isnt a good burst.

Nope. Nerfing her W is the only nerf she needs. her W deals 12% MAX HP dmg every 8 seconds at lvl 1. thats insane dmg and makes her trades incredibly strong. The rest of her kit is fine.

that w depends on her special ally to hit the same person she is. which isnt all the time

You could nerf her % hp dmg slightly because that is a huge reason why her laning phase is dominant. otherwise, u shouldn't touch the rest of her skillkit. Her E is so situational and players can easily screw it up. Same with her passive. She has a high skillcap and her W is the only ability that requires very little skill to land. Players complain about how "OP" and strong she is but don't understand that shes very hard to play and easy to counter if you understand her weaknesses.
