I try out stacking tenacity in games with high amount of slows and I don’t really feel the difference.
This game had a nasus, Ashe, lux, Ammu, syndra
I did mercs and the rune, should I of went wits end first?
I've hit emerald with Kalista only (beside autofills and few times) as my main champ, Kalista is non-rewarding hard champ, I was loyal to her and to her playstyle until I've made it, from the darkest bottoms of gold, after inting many games and carrying many, Im here.
If loyalty had an example; it'd be Kalista players
It's not a clickbait, luckily, they went in 1 by 1 , which allowed me to kite arround :)
I was just experimenting in practice tool. I know I'll be squishy as he'll but 200 magic dmg is kinda tempting
I have had one to many games where i try to click my supp with kalista passive fast enough to actually leave spawn in time and misclick either through clumsiness or my supp standing in another mate and almost always just have to instaleave due to the game just being unplayable without ult or first passive. Its completely and utterly unnecessary to be like that, it would just be a massive qol feature to just be able to click around between teammates before the walls go down.
Hello I’m trying to understand building in this game but a lot of it seems to be just do what everyone else is doing… I’d like to understand the why though!
(I’m writing based of memory so bare with me)
Why is her recommended mainly atk spd then armor?
Typical build is Static/Rage/Term/Rand/Jak/etc
(Zerk boots ofc i have seen Grievs tho)
Why not build something like yuuntal? She gets atl speed and i believe more ad (after all, her she scales more with AD)
Or Since you’re building static why not nashors tooth or Dusk/Dawn?
Essentially my question for discussion is why is the optimal build what it is ( mainly atk speed but not a lot of dmg I feel like zerk and Runes give her enough atk spd. )
Are there any other viable builds?
(Like how BORK is a possible start personally I don’t like it unless they’re predominantly tanks/tank in lane).
Are these 2 items a bit overkill or could i buy them both?
Hey everyone!
I’ve been lurking around this sub for a couple of years now and occasionally answering questions, so I figured I’d finally make an AMA and see what you all are curious about.
So, a little about me: I’m a Grandmaster Kalista main on NA and I am often the highest LP Kalista OTP on the server (although I’ll occasionally get knocked down to #2 depending on the day). I also have over a million mastery points on the champion, if that is something you find important.
I’ve played Kalista for several years now and have seen her go through quite a few different identities over the years. Right now, I think she’s in an extremely good spot for solo queue, with pretty solid carry potential and surprisingly strong scaling.
I have also done several "unranked to masters" challenges, running a variety of different builds, so chances are I have a decent amount of experience playing (and carrying) in whatever elo you find yourself in!
I'll post the opgg of my current main account in the comments, so ideally any concerns or questions related to my account (instead of the AMA topic) can reply to that comment instead of the post. I think it just keeps things a bit neater that way.
I’m happy to answer pretty much anything, including (but not limited to):
- Builds, runes, and itemization
- Specific matchups and lane strategy
- Support synergies
- Mechanics and Kalista-specific tricks
- Macro and decision-making
- Climbing / solo queue
- How I approach Kalista in different elos
- How Kalista has changed over the years
For a little extra background, I’ve also hit Grandmaster playing Corki and Draven on separate accounts. They’re obviously not the focus of the post, but if anyone has questions about those champions—or wants me to compare them to Kalista—feel free to ask those too.
I’m curious to see what kinds of questions you guys have, so AMA!
Hi guys I've already posted about kalista mid several times but I think it went well out of the radar.
When I say kalista mid is broken, she's extremely broken.
Few reasons why she is:
I don't think people realise how strong kalista is on a solo lane is.
I genuinely believe kalista top is only good against yone or kayle types of matchups you can stomp even 1v2 ( if no point and click cc )
Don't hesitate to ask questions :)
