I thought it would be a good thread to have everyones thoughts on the latest champion, Kalista and tell us your experience with her so far.

I just tried her for the first time and not surprisingly I sucked badly getting a 9-16-5 and I won't make any excuses I was 99% at fault although I actually have to point out that I seemed to have spotted a few bugs whilst playing including a moment I got a Kill with Rend and it went on Cooldown instead of resetting which ended up with me getting killed because I was not aware of this and the moment I was attacking minions and it decided to attack the enemy team over the wall and jumped me right into a 1 vs 5 (I swear I didnt couldnt see them so how I attacked them was beyond me).

I actually like the new champion though, I think I can do alot of good in the ADC role with her and I have to say as well that if you use Runaan's Hurricane it is extremely effective on her as it will put a spear into all 3 targets meaning you can activate rend on more than one target with just one attack although I am guessing rend will be the first nerfed ability which is a shame.

Anyhows those are my thought...what about you guys?

Well that is to be expected for now, she is new and unless you have a PBE account this is going to be the first day of trying her out ^^ I know players wanna think they will pick her up and be pro on her like magic but its going to take a little while before they are to grips with her I think.

Kites Nasus and kills him while Witherd, without taking any dmg. Nothing OP about that.

Rend's kinda super strong and I keep accidentally jumping into their team with my passive. She's hella good though, I like her even though I'm not an ADC player really.

DISCLAIMER; I have not played her yet.
Kalista appears to be a very safe champ, one that gets free kiting, a slow, and the ability to save or counter attack with a teammate. Her csing seems very easy to use with her E execute. All in all I like everything about her expect for the loss of her W and ultimate if your soul mate goes AFK.

That passive is absolutely ridiculous; no internal cool down.

She seems strong and fun to play. In every game today were 2 kalistas, I don't think I've seen one that didn't suck.

What I've noticed thus far:

Needs strong laning support. Otherwise pretty useless. Don't pick something like Braum but someone like Karma or Janna with her. They are strong. Nami also comes to my mind.

Itemization is very situation-dependent. More than it is for other ADCs.

Premade with the support is preferable.

Weak early against people like Lucian, Corki, Twitch, Caitlyn

Thanks to OwenTheAwesomer for the signature =)

What about Morgana? She brings great CC and ultility and provides some safety with her shield. She can also follow up your R initiation with her own ultimate.
