Kalista....wow

I can see the general idea of Kalista, but at no point do I see the balance in this champion. Being able to dash EVERY SINGLE auto attack? That is extremely steep and counters pretty much every melee champion (maybe other than fiora if she can burst her down in time). I would suggest either making a CD for the dash in order to level out the playing field, or make the dash a shorter distance since once she even gets berserk greaves she's basically untouched by everyone except an APC and Fiora. If it is how a team fight SHOULD be, the ADC wont be on her very much if at all (but that is purely circumstance). I have played 2 games against kalista and my ass is already as hurt as the day I fell on my ass and almost broke my tail bone.

So please...rethink this champion...until then im playing draft and banning her every game till she's balanced out. Thanks.

dear diary, today i encountered a forum smurf, but my lack of general knowledge showed when i failed to identify him as such and tried to make a witty remark, which made me look extremely stupid.

Dear Diary, When i made a total fool of myself, someone pointed that out. That made me so angry and sad, that i had to make myself feel better by looking up his rank and then telling him how bad he is! That'll show him!

I'm sure they considered this. Have you considered how terrible her passive would feel if it was only a sometimes dash, but the autos could still never be canceled. It'd feel awful to play lol

oh darn....you have to get a feel for the champ by playing it and paying attention :/. You're right, she should just be playable instantly for everyone to do amazing with :I

It's not about getting a feel for it or having the skill for playing her, it would just feel terrible to play. It would be like if a champion was released where every 5th spell wouldn't cast and would just go on cooldown instead. Frustration with game mechanics is not a playability lever; it's a design decision to try to lower frustration as much as possible.

She does low damage, has no escapes if caught (to clarify, getting to her is hard, sticking to her is easy.), and especially early game its actually bad for her to jump since it makes her landing predictable and easy to exploit.
