Do you think her kit is broken?

It's way too early to tell really. I heard Doublelift saying he thinks she's ******ed broken, but I'd take what he says about a champion's balance on day 1 with a whole spoonful of salt. From what I've seen (which isn't much at all) her passive and ult being really strong and having incredible play-making potential is held back by her lane being fairly poor and her having lacklustre DPS/damage in general.

I haven't seen one Kallista yet but I believe she is not broken.

While her kit allows for insane outplay potential with the passive and she can make plays fairly easily(probably way too easily for a marksman), she heavliy ally dependant as her kit relies on good coordination with your soulmate. Additionally, I find her to be one of the most, if not the most, mechanically challenging marksmen out there. One missclick and you're dead. Other aspects that determine how good an ADC is such as DPS and Range are rather mediocre on her. So I guess...she is balanced.

Overall I see one's entire performance with Kallista being dependant on a great "if".

I played a game with a Kalista (I was ryze), and the amount of kiting that she could do was unbelievable. No ADC under any circumstances should be able to kite multiple high mobility champs like a Powerballed + Time Warped rammus + Blade of the Exile riven by herself, with no peel, in the middle of a lane (aka no wall jump outplays)
If I helped you out, be sure to throw me a +Rep!

Only saw one game she was in, and as Rengar she wasn't much trouble for me. That being said I feel that if she were to get fed/be in the right hands that her kit could be devastating. Kinda reminds me of a quinn/ashe combo. Goodness gracious, she seems made for chases.

Yea but she gets massacred by gap closers. She's not as good at escaping as say, Ezreal.

I wouldn't say Kalista is broken but if you learn to use her Passive correctly then she certainly becomes a pain to play against.

I only played her a few times and I tend to end up in more danger because of the passive that I do dodging dangerous situations so in my eyes its one of the things where if the player masters her passive then that player deserves to be as OP as they like.

I can't play her at all. I tried, but nope. And I hate her AA windup, makes farming with Zilean AAs seem easy.
