Riot loves to talk about "Counterplay options". Where are they in Kallistas design?

Kallista on one side.

Volibear/Chogath/Darius/Garen etc on the other.

1v1, she doesn't even get an ult.

There will never, ever be any point in the game where the latter will ever be able to land a single point of damage on the former.

Riot loves to talk about how certain champions like Urgot Poppy Shaco and the like are held unplayable until they can be teworkef because they are oppressive. Can a red tell me how Kallista is not a textbook example of the exact same type of oppressiveness if not infinitely worse due to not allowing her opponents any options at all?

Can a Darius not buy boots if swiftness and run up to Q her mid auto animation that she can't cancel to grant him a speed boost to hunt her down? I run furor swifties on Cho bc much more than Kalista kite him if not. Just land a Q while outside her auto range so she can't dash it. Garen and Voli are also a matter of swifties+speed boost

Not really. She gets Bork, Youmuus, and her targeted 60% slow
