Kalista, Lux, Karthus, and Nidalee Problems

Kalista:

Her Ult seems wasteful right now. I like the idea of picking someone up to close the gap or escape, but all it does is throw someone. It's really no different from a gap closer skill which a lot of people have, as a basic ability in their q, w, or e. In my opinion Kalista's Ult needs to have a much better foundation.

First off, people use the ult at many of the wrong times. Wanting to throw their support into turrets for stupid reasons, Closing the gap with the support which in my mind, why send the "Supporter / aka the person that watches out for the attack damage carry to go in and... attack the enemy?". I just find this ult to be so useless right now and it requires a LOT of communication, otherwise the supporters are just gonna be really annoyed by it. I recommend giving the supporter a shield of some sort. (example. 3 second shield that absorbs 300 health or a 1 second shield that blocks all damage. I don't know.)(example. make it do some damage, something.) Because out of seeing people play her, playing with her, playing her myself, and playing with her myself. I have grown to highly dislike Kalista's ult because it messes up my game flow.

Lux:

Her ult feels like such a cheat to me. And it is annoying. Now I am not saying reduce the damage, the damage in my opinion is fine, because I play bots a lot and the bot gets you at low health, the bot is playing it smart. But my problem is the width and cool down on the ult. Several times I have seen her ult come up, and I want to get out of the way, I have grown to play the game with a third eye looking out for her ult, but am never able to get out of the way in time, because it still hits me even though I am way out of the line, not just the red starter but the whole beam as well. I recommend making her charge for slightly longer maybe, so people do have time to react. That is a possibility, but what I would like is the width of the beam to decrease. Secondly, the cool down seems too short. playing against bots I was hit by it, respawn about 35 seconds, and took me 20 seconds to reach the enemy base. She can apparently spam the ult. I think the cool down needs to be slightly longer in my opinion.

Karthus:

His ult, bs, and requires no skill to use. Maybe make the casting time a little longer, so people have a chance to cc him if he is close enough. I don't know what to tell you, but it is one of the easiest ult killers in game (Not to mention gets you free kills all the time.) and it annoys many many many people. I also dislike how people brag they are so skilled when using Karthus. I mean seriously. The ult is 100% rip off. I mean at least with Gangplank you have to aim, with Draven you have to aim, Lux you have to aim, Jinx, Ezreal, Ashe, you have to aim... Karthus? NOPE.

Nidalee:

Her q is sooo soooooooooo overpowered. and recently you guys chose to nerf Ryze's q? again? to the point it does less damage then his auto early game now? and... still no nerf on Nidalee's q? SERIOUSLY? Potentially half the opponents hp gone with ONE q..........


That's all I have to say. I guess people can comment, reply, give their opinion, but I just hope rito can do something about this.

None of said champions are even remotely overpowered. I would argue that Lux and Karthus need buffs, Nidalee needs another rework because of her overloaded kit but shes extremely weak right now, and Kalista is fine

If Lux gets nerfed, I'm going to cry. Every new mid wrecks her (aside from Vel'Koz, that's more skill-based). Please, dear God, Riot, please don't touch Lux.

It's kinda saddening that out of every champ in this game, you're complaining about Karthus. The dude has so many clear weaknesses and things you can exploit; he's the true definition of a hypercarry.

He counters exactly zero champions in lane, since he has no hard cc, is squishy, and has no real damage early on unless his opponent is stupid enough to stand outside of their minions. Oh, and he also does 99.9% magic damage, so I hope you know how to counterbuild that.

Before large-scale teamfights happen, his ult is supposed to be for picking off low health targets, but there are SO many things that can block it. If you're the APC, use Zhonya's. If you're the ADC, you can pop heal, your support can pop Locket's active (because it makes Karthus cry). Oh, and Karthus HATES it when bruisers buy Hexdrinker.

Karthus has a lot of counterplay even if his ult can hit everyone. If you get to the point where his ult does half of your team's health, either he's full build, or your team definitely screwed up and got him fed early.

Karthus ult: Walk under inner turret, use a shield, zhonya's, start drinking a potion, CC him, use an untargettable ability (rek'sai ult, poledancing fish, Zed ult). So much counterplay.

Lux+Nid. Learn from Piccolo. DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODGE. Not hard.

Kalista: Enh, maybe. I think several things on her kit need to be slightly tweaked. I do think she needs a slight buff, personally.

nidalee's q is blocked by minions and isnt IMPOSSIBLE to dodge. plus she doesnt have a skill that deals tons of damage like a normal ult would.. so its kinda her main source of damage.

Kalista, yes... others no.

I never have a problem with Karthus ult unless I am low on health, and if I am playing against him I rush to recall when low as I know my luck is terrible. I agree with you that Lux should have a bit longer of a cooldown on her ult to compensate for its damage and range. I am uncertain about the induction however as I understand I can improve on dodging. I love playing Nidalee, but I think it is a bit overkill for me to be able to take out 33%-55% of a player's HP in one hit.

LMAO the rant is strong, dude just because you died to bots doesn't mean the champion needs nerf, that generally means you need to get better lol
