Greetings,guys! I am asking myself: Is Kalista still strong like before the nerf?cuz i played her i a lot 2-3 weeks ago when she was on free play. so I Carry with her a lot,i mean almost every game was win. So i have 5900 IP now and i want to buy her,but i dont know what are the exactly changes on her nerf,1st. can you explain me how she exactly was nerf and what are the differents.
It's not a big nerf if you prefer to play kalista with like Thresh or Blitzcrank, but if you prefer poke/harass/disengage supports it's a pretty decent nerf.
Well here's the deal,
Sentinel has this passive where if you and the support hit the same target within x seconds, the triggering attack deals a % of the targets max HP with an on target cooldown to follow. Since you've played her I assume you know that part already.
The damage is now 2% less at early levels(down to 10% from 12%){ now 10%, 12.5%, 15%, 17.5%, 20% instead of 12% 14%, 16%, 18%, 20%), so it drops her lane harass a bit, the on target cooldown is also 4 seconds longer (10 seconds from previously being 6 seconds.). This drops her lane harass a bit more.
Furthermore Her ultimate's cooldown is now 120/90/60, instead of previously being 90/75/60.
Overall her late game is identical aside from the on target cooldown of Sentinel, but her early game is a bit weaker. So if you did well with her previously, it shouldn't be much of a problem for you at all. People who were, just okay, with her will probably have some issues.
Guys so you are saying its worth buying? i was very good with her,sometimes i didnt need support.
If you start playing Kalista alot, you will eventually get complained to by all the circlejerkers that Kalista is op.... so if you don't mind that, then play her :) But if you don't want people to accuse you of abusing 'freelo instawin free smite on everything under the sun' or whatever, then you shouldn't.
