Kalista hype for lcs? Her first appearance in ogn was rather disappointing ;O Also her E can burst Baron at 2k hp, doubling lvl 18 smite dmg which is ridiculous, needs to be fixed. DL already has 2 massive highlight clips with kalista. So I'm guessing she's pretty stronk right now. Will be interesting to see the risk/reward ratio on how much ADC's value being able to cancel auto attacks. | ||

I'm only really good with flex picks were I designate different skins to different roles (yes I actually do this) Since the client checks which one you use last, I just cycle through them in those cases.

I know in the past, specifically when I asked you, if I could write a guide thread for a champion that was left seriously outdated you okayed it and the things just went like normal when I posted the new thread. In the end it will come down to a) does the OP know what they're talking about and b) are they willing to consider other viewpoints and curate the thread appropriately.

To blindly parrot Montecristo, Kalista's inability to cancel/animation cancel autos is a champion specific skill that nobody ever had a need to develop so understanding how to play her well at a competitive level is going to take some time. On top of that, this also takes into account adjusting to AS slows when playing her too. | ||

After they changed the damage formula on it though I wasn't so sure, since it reduced it a bunch (well not so much if you don't max it, but still). Ya but Cheep we don't see Twitch doing the same for his poison for example. The lack of width on Hurricane's secondary bolts make it hard to use it well. I guess it's pretty good at giving her waveclear though, which she lacks otherwise. | ||

The issues with those champions and Hurricane: Twitch: 0 mobility assistance. Ult range can outrange Hurricane passive. Varus: 0 mobility assistance, utility of his spells outweighs the "stack up everybody and pop em all in AOE" fantasy. Kog: Bio-Arcane Barrage can outrange Hurricane. What really kills the item is that it doesn't adjust it's range to the champion. | ||

Because Twitch has way better items to synergise with kit and has completely different playstyle from what hurricane supposed to do. Inb4 Kalista transitions to sololane with hurricane and double lifesteal builds. On January 12 2015 06:30 Gahlo wrote: The issues with those champions and Hurricane: Twitch: 0 mobility assistance.

Varus isn't in hurricane range usually as well, unless you get some hilarious 5-man ult. | ||

I guess people wanted to make Q for the poke on Kalista, and it's true that it gains 60 base damage per level. My idea was that maxing Rend you can very easily outdamage Q (or even 2 Qs), and if you're good enough about positioning and choosing when to fight to disengage then auto a minion and execute it (made easier as you level Rend since it increases the damage for a single stack), you're not constrained by its cooldown anymore. That removes a constraint on your ability to engage on your terms, and since her passive makes it easy to get somewhat in range, I think it makes her super flexible. No idea how the damage formula change weakens her (or not) during the laning stage though. | ||
