Kalista lanes

LordFluffyJr··2 votes·2,042 views

Just curious as to what Kalista is weak against, and what she is good against. I know hard cc on her is amazing. If you can hard cc her shes pretty much useless. Also slows? Mid game she barely walks she just uses her passive. Would that mean a slow does anything if she isn't walking? I am a support main so preferably supports to lane against her would be nice. Also knowing ADC's is useful too as I play a bit of ADC.

Graves does well against her, since his buckshot almost always gets her, early game at least. Trist also works well against Kalista, since her damage is more upfront. As a main support, the best one to counter Kalista is Taric, and no, I shit you not. Point click stun, gives his adc a bit of armor and heals them, everything a Kalista hates in one bundle. Naut is also a good pick against her, as the amount of CC he brings means that if he catches her, or uses his ult, she is dead. A good Lulu will piss any Kalista off, since her W is basically a "fuck you and your rend" button, and her shield annoy Kalista quite a bit. My last (but by no means least) pick against her is Karma (whom I main). Her poke is wayyyyyyyyyyy to much for Kalista to deal with, her W is point click and her hopping won't get her out of its snare range (she has to walk, not hop), her shield is annoying and it makes her have to land more stacks of rend, if timed correctly.

Finally, a use for my Armour of the fifth age Taric skin!!! Yeah I started maining support to see how it would go (In normals). I'm currently 14-2 with support games. One of those games our Olaf went 1-13 and their Wukong went 24-2....I have been looking at picking up Karma. I find I do well if more tanky supports. Having a lot of luck on Leona, Thresh, Alistar, Blitz, and Nautilus. MIght pick up Karma.

Also is Nautilus still as strong as he was? I haven't played him in a while.

Naut is ok (he was nerfed, but he is still fine) but is a massive pick against her because of the amount o CC he brings to the table (Root on passive, Q pull , E slow and R kockup and stun). Yeah, people underestimate Karma, and while she has been better, she is still a bully against some champs. I usually try to dual bot with a close friend of mine, and Graves-Karma is our best lane, since the level 6 burst kills anyone. Especially effective against Vayne, Kalista or Lucian.

Kallista is weak against lanes that intiate onto her before she can stack her rends. High burst lanes combined with well timed disengages are best against kallista. This makes sense since her kit's dmg heavily revolves around her ability stack rends and leap around the enemy.

Slows mean alot if you're trying to lock her down (make sure u have enough dmg to kill her). Slowing down any adc makes their kiting much less effective.

High burst? I like the fact that burst does well against her. Considering some of my top supports are Leona, Thresh, Blitz, and Alistar. I feel like Lucian would do nicely if played very well. The fact that if you can time your Q's well inbetween her auto's and your burst...I think e to kalista, q, then w would be too much burst with a Leona or Blitz. Thanks for the tips =)

I played Ashe vs a Kalista and won lane so hard they were salty for the entire game. The range bonus + the slow. And the CC.
