So I recently read I thread on how really good kalista players generally climb the ladder very fast. Now I don't want to learn her to climb. I want to learn her because shes a good ADC. Why is it that I can orb walk with a 2.2 attack speed kalista but am still not doing great. I didn't think there was much to kalista other than Spam auto's + q then rend them for half their HP.
Why is the difference between a good kalista player and a bad one? How can I do better on her?
Caytheles2 votesNo worries, I cant give you tips on Kalista due to inexperience with the Champion. But i can tell you that there is nothing bad about Not knowing a champion. Take a moment to be Creative and think about what her kit can Do for you and what you can do with It. For one Q is a nice poke and auto reset, Sentinel has great Vision opportunities and the passive needs to be worked with a good support, Rend is very good against cocky enemies, and your R i dont think any other ADC has an initiation CC spell like that. You can also use ti to save your support from death.
She relies alot on teamwork, and is also very mobile, Work on your "MoonWalking" and kiting and i am sure you will get her down.
Best of luck to you!!! --Caytheles The Support Main

TouchpadExpert1 votesDo you have attack-move-click binded into your mouse/keyboard?
LordFluffyJr1 votesNo I have a good mouse and good hand coordination. I just right click what I want to attack then right click where I want to go. I am really good with my mouse. I can kite fine with 2.0 attack speed doing it that way.
Maru th Undrtkr1 votesdude tell me how she climbs period I always thought kalista needed peel and i never see her played and when she does get played she wins lane then gets dumpstered but maybe thats cause I see a kalista and go for super aggro champs idk most comments I hear say she needs a good support
Zyorhist1 votesthe common misconception of adc's
its not how they team fight but how they objective control. you can carry with anyone if you know how to control towers and large monsters.
Vicvictorw1 votesAttack move.
Manual orbwalking with Kalista's pretty awkward.
Just attack move when fighting and you're golden.
LordFluffyJr1 votesAll I know how to do is auto attack them then click where I want to hop! How are people binding their keys to do this stuff?!

Attack moving is just A + click.
Alternatively, hold shift and right click.
LordFluffyJr1 votesYup....made a custom game against a bot and tried the shift click thing........Just to see how well it worked I went 2.5 attack speed....That shift click is amazing!!
Nova Skye1 votesJust a reminder that Kalista's hop no longer scales on attack speed, but on boot tier. I played a game with someone who claimed to be trying to learn her and refused to buy that third tier (you really need it before you go to your next item in my opinion) - and spent the entire end game complaining about how everyone else can kite fine with her but they were failing. She really can't kite or get decent positioning without that third tier.
LordFluffyJr1 votesSo after your 1st item get 3rd tier of boots? Also thanks for that tip!
Nova Skye1 votesThat is what I do. I'm not the best Kalista because my position sucks (I main Cait), but I garantee you you will see a difference if you grab tier 3 boots right after damage item. You still need the attack speed for that spear stacking but it's not as vital as those boots anymore. Give it a try and let me know what you think.
Byakuya Kuchiki1 votesbecause shes hard. really she is. but she looks easy and OP so no one gives credit where credit is due to the good ones.
LaowPing1 votesWhere are you doing bad exactly?
Kagemyth1 votesPersonally id say kalista is one of the hardest ad's to play due to the fact that half of your kit is tied to another player i would highly recommend you playing her with a duo or u will spend 80 percent of the game explaining your kit to ur support assuming they dont give up after the first 2 minutes. also shift clicking is way less reliable than the A+click method and is liable to get you killed due to the way it prioritizes the direction you go in for the attack. also you really dont need or even want 2.5 AS on kalista since she will be attacking way faster than martial cadence can keep up and you will be wasting the extra attack speed unless you stand still
