I really hate playing soloq when you have that one teammate that is playing a squishy and gets caught for a greedy play. Just had a yasuo jungle (!!!) who managed to get caught by the entire enemy team because he made no effort to at least trinket over the wall before trying to solo drake. We all ran in to try to turn the fight around but surprise, kalista outscaled our MF and we got destroyed. Either way that fight went, we would still have lost the game. Even if we had won the fight, our death timers were long and the enemy team would probably get more gold than we did due to shutdowns...
Same problem of just not being able to finish games fast combined with lack of vision and completely garbage decision making.
Also forget mobility creep. forget dashes, forget kalista/ezreal, forget that bullstuff that makes most melee champs loving useless. Even if you get to the back line, they just use their 20 dashes to run away. When a kalista can outrun a ghost ult Singed with Ms quints and swifties, you know that champ is loving busted.
It's just not fun when there are champs in the game that are just barely viable because they have so much trouble dealing with heavy kiting ad carries or ridiculous mobility in general. It seems really counterintuitive that Riot is changing a lot of point and click cc into skillshots to add counterplay, but mobility makes it ridiculously hard to land some skillshots. It's nearly impossible to duel kalista as an immobile champ due to rend + kite.
I'd rather have more champs like Lucian if anything. He can kite hard, but he's dead in the water if he gets hit with a cc, which I believe is fair. His kit rewards efficient use of his dash while also promoting counterplay because he must choose whether to use it to chase or escape. Kalista takes all that and throws it in the trash. Despite multiple nerfs to her numbers, she is still one of the most contested picks in higher levels of play because she's just so ridiculous when played well. To even do damage to her, you have to hard cc her long enough to get to her, and that's without having to contend with a support that peels.
I think that adding some sort of cap on rend would make her less obnoxious, or at least nerfing the synergy with hurricane. It is not like playing against a good caitlyn or something, where if i get beaten in a duel, I admire the good use of traps and net. Kalista is very frustrating in that sense. She either feeds or is a monster, and there is no in between, and it's incredibly anti fun.
