Kalista rework concept

Bârd·10/29/2016, 4:50:37 AM·4 votes·757 views

Core Mechanics (should preserve):

  • Rend
  • The Oathsworn
  • High Mobility, tied to autos

"Meh" (needs some work, but not horrible)

  • Sentinel
  • The exact way the Oathsworn works
  • Fates Call
  • The "Pierce" mechanic on her Q, carrying over rend stacks.

Major work needed

  • "Vengeance" theme tied into gameplay
  • Mobility needs some restrictions to keep it somewhat balanced.
  • Mobility needs to reinforce the "Vengeful, Relentless Ghost" theme, rather than a rabbit hopped up on both kinds of coke.

Dumped

  • Pierce itself. Lame ass line skill shot.

Passive: The Oath At the beginning of the game, Kalista may enter a pact of Vengeance with an Ally, marking them as an Oathsworn.

If Kalista or her Oathsworn die, the other is able to resurrect them at 50% health by exacting Vengeance within 10 seconds (Score a kill on the champion who killed your fallen comrade, or damage them within 2 seconds of their death.) A mark is placed above the head of the one you must kill, granting sight of them.

Resurrecting your partner will heal you for 20% your missing HP.

If both are dead, neither can be resurrected. If the first death occurred while the killer was dead 150-120 second cooldown (separate cooldowns for Kalista and her Oathsworn.

Kalista and her Oathsworn gain 20-50% movement speed towards each other.

Q: Vengeful Advance 2 second cooldown, no cost (passive) Attempting to cancel an autotattack will instead cause you to dash in the direction of your cursor at the time of the attack cancel. If used towards an enemy champion, this has no cooldown and grants your basic attacks 20/30/40/50/60 (+.2 AD) bonus physical damage for the next 5 seconds, stacking up to 3 times. Each stack grants 50% less damage than the last.

If this spell goes on cooldown, you may cancel autos again, but you lose any stacks you have.

W: Sentinel 30 second recharge (3 second cooldown) 25 mana Send a short-sighted sentinel walking to a target location (up to 3000 units away), moving at 350 units per second. If an enemy champion either enters its line of sight, the Sentinel will enter an unstoppable rage, flying directly towards the champion at 500 units per second. On impact, the Sentinel detonates to deal 80/100/120/140/160 (+.75 AP) magic damage, removing any buffs on them and applying a 50% slow for 1 second.

Sentinels last for 60 seconds total (including the travel time) and have 2 health, but can't die in their raging state until they impact. Sentinels see in a cone in front of them

E: Rend Mostly unchanged, except for... (New) passive: Killing a unit with a basic attack will cause any Rend stacks they had on them to be shot in the direction of the killing blow, landing in the new target for 10 (+.05 bonus AD) physical damage for each rend stack transferred.

R: Fates Call 75 mana, 120/100/80 second cooldown Passive: If Kalista or the Oathsworn die while their respective revivals are available and their partner still lives, they will join the battlefield again to fight as a wraith. They move 50% faster and are untargetable, but deal 50% reduced damage, have their CC durations cut in half, and can't use their ults. If the 10 second window expires, or their partner dies, they will die as well. Active: Kalista draws in her Oathsworn, making them untargetable for up to 5 seconds. During this time, the Oathsworn may eject from Kalista, knocking up enemies in an area. Kalista can draw in a Wraith form Oathsworn, and a Wraith Form Oathsworn

So you removed the ok and cool stuff, and kept the toxic passive which is the main reason she is kept garbo tier.

At least someone understood that the revenge theme in her kit is nonexistent...

Well that aside kalista's hop and mobility is there so she can keep up with her target and git spears down.
