Kalista in Dominion... too good or too bad?

Hey there! Got to play Dominion again (thank you Spl3en) and saw the new champion. Was wondering if she is going to be good or the "huhit's just Dom" guys are going to destroy the fun of a lot of people when she comes out. As I like to play tank I guess having a duoQ would be awesome with her. But most of time I'm solo. So I wonder what is going to happen. Thoughts?

Her W seems kind of OP for the map, but on the other hand she's a super squishy ADC and those never do well outside of top level premades, and the ones that DO perform well generally have enough mobility to stay in a good position (Vayne). I don't know that Kalista's passive is enough.

Still, the W is OP. The problem is that almost all of the top players who could team up and use her have quit since the boards debacle.

Seriously Riot, SPLIT THE FUCKING BOARDS.

Yeah, would like to hear from some more players but many of them are gone. =/ I'm playing again because lolcamera is working, otherwise I'd still be in ARAM but I'm just waiting for my HotS key.

Well I noticed she seems to depend a lot on AA and this on yoloQ is never that good on squish shampions. But having someone throwing champs like that does not seem to be a good idea. Also miss comunication (or no comunication at all) could destroy her, she could link to someone that would end up having to go bot.

Her link isn't forced, it needs to be accepted. If bot DOES need to switch, there are still 2 unbound people who can go. And for ganks, having her soulbound go to perform it might actually work well if her ult is global range to pull them back up to fight once it's done.

Oh nice. I thought she just had to select it and it was done. I still worry about the troll potential this is going to have in Dom tho

I think she'll be very strong in Dom, as long as she goes top and the person she binds with knows to not roam away from her too much. Her passive will allow her to survive early which a lot of adcs seem to have a problem with on Dom (from my point of view anyway).

I feel like she'll be awesome with a good tank or heavy bruiser up top, someone you don't intend to have rotate bot too often when she doesn't have an Ulti available to yank them back.
