Her AA range seems so short. That passive seems insane though, literally a free move/hop (like Ezreal E or Flash) after you AA something. But it looks like she won't be able to go over/through walls with it, so maybe not as strong as Flash or Ezreal E. The ult is going to troll people so damn hard. Definitely a champ you can't just pick in solo Q, this requires way too much coordination for a pub game. Unless her numbers on Q and E are off the walls insane, I can't see her being much more than Quinn-tier in terms of how good/bad of an ADC she is. She doesn't need to come melee to use half of her skills and she's hardcore lane bully if your Nami/Janna/otherlanedominantsupport knows what's up. Can't wait for soloqueue suffering and whine in chat about ultimate. | ||

She's not even on the PBE, and stuff like champion spotlights avoid mentioning numbers too because it's more about the design intent and playstyle than numbers that will probably get changed shortly after. | ||

Of course they want you to be an ADC with a linked support given their words, but it may very well be worth it to sack the W damage potential in lane to provide better ganks and safety for one of your off-laners. If the mana cost on E is low enough, like it appears to be in the video, then I could see Kalista working in the jungle easily enough given that the spears stack infinitely. I play Ashe and jungle Gnar though so maybe I just have weird taste | ||

I think just coyly smile at how there will inevitably be more use for her ulti on a support or jungler than on an adc role.and with her passive she might actually be able to jungle. even though everything about her screams i want you to play me as an adc. | ||

I wonder if you can buy more of her special item to change your soul-bound buddy? What's the range on the ult? Can I soul-bound my jungler and drag them to bot lane for MEGAGANKS? She seems cool but I wonder how fluid her kit is going to feel in the long run. I also wonder how many stacks you need on Rend before it one-shots the target. | ||

I could see why it was op when they nerfed but every new champ since then has a built in escape. | ||

That's pretty cool If the ult is actually global, she essentially has the ability to turn any champ into a split-pusher because she can pull them instantly out of trouble even if they get stunned (think Wisp from DotA and the ratting that entails). I'd guess it's not global based on the detailed description and the fact that that's way outside what Riot would consider to be an acceptable power level for that ability. Even semi-global it would be really bullshit. | ||

Either way, patch is tomorrow so she'll get put up sometime tonight or tomorrow methinks. I think she's pretty cool. Internet, Nephenee custom skin pls. | ||

Wouldn't even say we see much Wisp ratting aside from the Tiny 1 shot all buildings base race. Except KotL Recall is disabled by combat, which means theres a lot of bullshit situations where Wisp gets you out and KotL doesn't. Hence the comparison. | ||

That's pretty cool Nah, its basically a thresh lantern into Pulverize. Since she is allegedly an ADC, its a self-peel ability which you use to get your peeler closer to you to peel. | ||
