So according to the Balance Team, Kassadin's Ult needs nerfs, but Kalista is A-OK?

Who thought that giving Kalista a free Kassadin Ult on every AA was ok? CertainlyOP did, that's who. Just when I thought Yasuo was the definition of unbalanced, here comes Kalista.

Why is Kalista allowed to jump over terrain, allowed to kite to kingdom come, allowed to have a passive that negates needing to have skill? If you look at a Vayne montage, you see mechanics coming into play. With Kalista's passive, you don't need mechanics! Just have a free Kassadin ult on every AA because why not?

Not that I'm defending the stupidity that is Kassadin nerfs (no theres much better ways to deal with him imo than just nerfing the hell out of him), but it was mentioned that Kalista is very likely going to be hit in the future (I can't recall who said it though, maybe Meddler?) on her passive, because they didn't like how much more mobility she got out of attack speed (since it naturally increases the speed of her rather sluggish auto animation, allowing her to dash much more often)

Martial Poise's dash can be used to clear terrain. The forward dash appears to have a comparable range to Quickdraw, with respect to what walls it can go over.

If that's right, then Kalista has a Kassadin ult every auto attack... I really don't get this change.

While I don't hate on Kalista, this thing they are doing to Kass is absolute bullshit.

Lee, Leblanc, Zed, Nidalee all have more range than Kass on their spammable movement abilities (Nidalee only on hunted target, but it's a basic ability compared to ult). All of them can use 2 movement abilities in 1.5 seconds maximum. But it's OK, because LC$BIGPLAYS, right?

My favorite part is how they said they won't "touch his iconic mobility". Well I'm sure blatantly lying will do good for their reputation amongst players. And then they wonder why so much people are hating.

and Leblanc can go in and out with the same spell , Nidalee can chunk people from safe distance but Kassidin cant cos the balance team is sabotaging league i mean the last jungle change was terrible, and they are balancing the game around a unsuccessful jungle change and no one is doing anything about it , riot made a change in balance team and there is no change in sight .

Just make slows affect her dashes.

So easy, give her counterplay, and makes her balanced if you add some damage to her (Not much though)

If you want to understand the discrepancy look at the range of kassadin's and kalista's autoattacks.

Kali probsbly up for nerfs next patch, so no, not really.

Kalista can't hope a million miles and her hope does not deal damage. Not to mention she needs something to attack to hop
