I used to dislike Kalista but now in this meta I really enjoy watching her being played, a good Kalista skirting her way around the edges of a teamfight is a thing of beauty
Also the slight buffs to her e helped out a lot. Being able to rend a minion to Cs and not waste mana, plus being able to still pass your spears after you fail rend helped her become somewhat viable
At 2:44 you guys said Longzhu vs KT, but that's clearly Samsung shown on the screen there. The plays described also match what the visuals and gameplay shows.
That was actually so much better explanation that i expected. Bro u earned like and sub from me. Perfect reasoning of something that i couldnt understand at all seeing how games can go late now and she gets outscaled by a lot of picks + isnt as safe as most of those picks + is pretty bad in soloq even when played by someone good.
THANK YOU for saying that stuff at the end. I hear people call for buffs to champions like lissandra etc, and I'm just thinking "this champ is just out of the meta."
Sergeant Amazing yeah he is a ranged support, it's a huge misconception that a lot of people have after all his range is kinda of small for a ranged champ.
Jonathan Chiu its enough to make him a viable adc that will see play by players like bang and doubelift. The damage increase is fucking nuts and will probably be nerfed or removed completely before hitting live patches
idk you say that kalista is the perfect example that a champ doesnt need nerfs or buffs to be viable. Did we all forget the multiple amount of nerfs followed up by the latest buffs that even gave her a chance to be viable again?
Norman Monrow This is jusr called tank meta because tanks are so strong that there is always at least one but up to 3 tanks in a proteam. In another meta it could be that there is a maximum of one tank or rarely 2 in a team because they aren't so strong and just needed as frontline.
Its better for adc that assassian meta is dead. Cause remember who does the damage on tanks. Atleast you can be useful even if team falls behind. In assiassen meta if one assassien wins its gg for everyone even late game. Edit: But no fizz tank bullshit. He is both assassin tank meta combind.
They also nerfed her competition. Pretty much every ADC is weaker than were they were a year ago. Twitch received some buffs, vayne stayed exactly the same save for mastery/item changes, caitlyn has been nerfed, jinx was nerfed, lucian and jhin were nerfed, sivir was nerfed, ashe was nerfed, literally everything. Tristana got some small buffs, but thats a good matchup for kalista. The negative powercreep is very real.
if caitlyn is banned and kalista picked, but then kalista is banned, THEN caitlyn gets to be picked again, unless they ban both, which it doesnt happen.
Why would kalista struggle against tanks? She has tjme to kite then and doesnt die instantly.. I think against a good zed you cant rly do shit if he has duskblade
Majesticals Agario I don't think fiddle with his current kit will ever become viable again barring some major buffs. His kit is just so underwhelming compared to the newer junglers that have far more mobility, cc and damage.
But really if the jungle changes so junglers gank mid less/are worse at diving, the mid meta would most likely change to heavy scaling laners and roamers which would make azir pretty decent (and even probably make ryze not trash) That is if taliyah doesn't keep getting ignored till then...(really that champ will end up getting nerfed to the ground sooner or later)
That was at the beginning of the season, though. If I remember correctly, that was before or during spring split. While I do agree that's a massive buff to her and definitely a factor in her strength, it's not why she became meta.
nice vid. since im a main support role, synergizing with the pick of the adc role player is a requirement especially when you're doing solo queues. e.g. twisted fate support jk.
Extremely thorough and informative. Please do more content similar to this.
This channel just keeps on giving. Thank you!

Anrui What is beautiful is your comment
SydneyStreets lol
That's so fucking gay wtf...

These videos are really well made - good job!
What an beautiful, insightful, informative and concise video. Again. Awesome stuff, keep it up!
Love this type and quality of content, keep it up
"Meanwhile caitlyn remained almost a permaban" lmao
Yeektaa where r u from?
Hes from silver city.
stfu he just pointed out a fact
44% soloq winratio permaban xd
you realise that there have been 2 patches since 7.14 where cait got nerfs in both patches
This video is entertaining, informative, and engaging. Love the the format and the narrative. Keep it up 🤗
Glad to hear it - we definitely will!
Song sounds like Daredevil's opening theme at some points heh
Bubble Tea it is
it definitely is the song i think its just remixed a little bit
I noticed that too
The quality in these videos is actually insane. I simply love them!
So glad to hear it! We're always working on more, so stay tuned!
Another outstanding video Blitz! Great quality always from you guys
Thanks so much! :D
Dude this is a great video, all time put in to this was worth it, because i get to see such a wonderful video!
This is such a well put point in a very well thought video. Nice work lived it!
Good shit
producing these kinds of videos take a lot of word i bet.. Good job.
Dude... Such a great content, keep up with the good work. Holy
Also the slight buffs to her e helped out a lot. Being able to rend a minion to Cs and not waste mana, plus being able to still pass your spears after you fail rend helped her become somewhat viable
Great content, thank you! I've been wondering about Kalista lately.
Glad to help! Thanks for watching :) We're working on more videos like this, so stay tuned!
At 2:44 you guys said Longzhu vs KT, but that's clearly Samsung shown on the screen there. The plays described also match what the visuals and gameplay shows.
god i love this channel
I ve been wondering about Kalista's return for a while and I would have never guessed it XD, very nice vid guys!! 😁
I really love this channel and the interesting content it provides
So glad to hear it! Lots more coming :D
That was actually so much better explanation that i expected. Bro u earned like and sub from me. Perfect reasoning of something that i couldnt understand at all seeing how games can go late now and she gets outscaled by a lot of picks + isnt as safe as most of those picks + is pretty bad in soloq even when played by someone good.
LZ vs KT? it was LZ vs SSG..
THANK YOU for saying that stuff at the end. I hear people call for buffs to champions like lissandra etc, and I'm just thinking "this champ is just out of the meta."
So classy x) Nice song choice, may i know what it is?
Soyalty Star Daredevil Soundtrack - Piano Cover
This is better than riot
You said Longzhu's game vs kt and kept mentioning it but the clip was longzhu vs Samsung
Great vid. Given the tank meta, any chance Kalista's W passive percent health damage is a factor in her increasing popularity?
you guys deserve so many more subscribers lol
This vid is exactly whatI wanted
Kalista is really fun to watch pros playing her
Great videos that always answer my questions. Keep it up!
Nice video and background music! May I know what did you use for your BGM? Thanks! More videos like this please!!
We use Pond5!
What is the music from? It was so good, keep it up!
Was that the Daredevil theme?
Cut to worlds and she is has been banned in literally every game
and thanks to tanks coming back, Knight's Vow is bought making Kalista and her partner even better when together.
What is the song name?
These vids are amazing keep it up!
2:51 KT?? that's Samsung Galaxy
Blitz is life, blitz is love.
idc but kalista rakan is one of the best botlane combos in the game
Not a single mention of bork changes?
This channel and narrator are great
Thanks so much!
Still a godod option odn this meta?
Last week I play first time Kalista and I got feed like an beast
You explained that so well. Thank you alot.
I was actually asking myself the same question just today, wow
Looks like google now can also read my mind for recommendations, huh
This video said Thresh is a meelee support... If he is, why can he build a Runnan's hurricane?
Sergeant Amazing yeah he is a ranged support, it's a huge misconception that a lot of people have after all his range is kinda of small for a ranged champ.
stixxay probably one of the best kalista i've seen
u clearly never seen me play kalista
u clearly can't read. Said "one of the best".
uve clearly never seen me or anyone else play kalista
I'm still sad about how bad Ezreal is now
Same FeelsBadMan
Yeah he was useless af and doran shield buff hit him hard
Buffs are already out on pbe. If they stay they are fucking huge.
the buff isn't enough to bring him back in meta tho imo
Jonathan Chiu its enough to make him a viable adc that will see play by players like bang and doubelift. The damage increase is fucking nuts and will probably be nerfed or removed completely before hitting live patches
idk you say that kalista is the perfect example that a champ doesnt need nerfs or buffs to be viable. Did we all forget the multiple amount of nerfs followed up by the latest buffs that even gave her a chance to be viable again?
2:43 thats Samsung not KT. Otherwise top quality vid as usual Blitz
SSG is now KT huh?
I see what u did there
Great video m8
It's the same reasoning of why Syndra went from 5th least popular champion to 5th most popular champion.
She did get buffed
Tbh i prefer tank meta over assasin meta every day
Norman Monrow never challenge Riot... Ryze did, and now he stands at his 0.17% play rate and 0.02% ban rate
Norman Monrow
This is jusr called tank meta because tanks are so strong that there is always at least one but up to 3 tanks in a proteam. In another meta it could be that there is a maximum of one tank or rarely 2 in a team because they aren't so strong and just needed as frontline.
DAn00b Ryze rework confirmed
Its better for adc that assassian meta is dead. Cause remember who does the damage on tanks. Atleast you can be useful even if team falls behind. In assiassen meta if one assassien wins its gg for everyone even late game.
Edit: But no fizz tank bullshit. He is both assassin tank meta combind.
They also nerfed her competition.
Pretty much every ADC is weaker than were they were a year ago.
Twitch received some buffs, vayne stayed exactly the same save for mastery/item changes, caitlyn has been nerfed, jinx was nerfed, lucian and jhin were nerfed, sivir was nerfed, ashe was nerfed, literally everything.
Tristana got some small buffs, but thats a good matchup for kalista.
The negative powercreep is very real.
LZ VS SAMSUNG* not LZ VS KT lol
Also the nerf to Tabi, Ardent censer being good and Runaans more cheap
Great BGM~
if caitlyn is banned and kalista picked, but then kalista is banned, THEN caitlyn gets to be picked again, unless they ban both, which it doesnt happen.
LZ against KT. Screen shows LZ against SSG
Why would kalista struggle against tanks? She has tjme to kite then and doesnt die instantly.. I think against a good zed you cant rly do shit if he has duskblade
because tanks usually come with engage or cc, wich prevents her from kiting in the first place.
I still wish they would change her autos back to 100% AD. having them scale off 90% AD is so awkward and inconsistent with every other champ in league
what are you talking about? i dont see any of this info in her kit?!!?? what?
Kazushi Sakuraba passive
Reminds me of the unnecessary ahri nerfs
Ok, I will try her in bronze, if shes good now
Fiddle mains crying in corner hoping their champ will become viable again
Majesticals Agario actually fiddle support is pretty viable in solo que
Majesticals Agario I don't think fiddle with his current kit will ever become viable again barring some major buffs. His kit is just so underwhelming compared to the newer junglers that have far more mobility, cc and damage.
and the fact that the jungle changes (buffs no longer having 2 little monsters) really really really fucked his clear
eune.op.gg/summoner/userName=lolfan446 this guy does really well with fiddle supp and he has a chesse start at lvl 1 to steal the enemy junglers blue
Guys fiddle is cleary meta as supp
Same thing with Tritana. She's better now because champions she was weak too got nerfed, and her items got buffed.
Who is Tritana? is that a new champion?
i can smell kalista nerfs
So Azir's low-key op given the right meta? Must be a meta where everyone else does 20% less damage so he doesn't insta die to burst.
Justin Wilson 40%*
But really if the jungle changes so junglers gank mid less/are worse at diving, the mid meta would most likely change to heavy scaling laners and roamers which would make azir pretty decent (and even probably make ryze not trash)
That is if taliyah doesn't keep getting ignored till then...(really that champ will end up getting nerfed to the ground sooner or later)
Informative
nice
You meant Samsung, not KT. Not really a big deal. Thanks for the beautiful content !
butter knife Irelia
Kalista did get buffed though? Even though it was an it far back her E buff was pretty huge.
wrecksauce her winrate was the same before and after the buff, not that big of a buff
deja vu
Yeeesss a knew video
she isnt back. a slow will make her stupid and items has lots of slows to counter her
Bring back assassin meta
that's not KT LOL
You should not be blaming the Meta, but "Riot"
Norman Monrow so what are you saying is that rework kog is better than malphite's ult
I guess Kalista made it to late game ;)
FarCritical her late game sucks lol and I main kalista
lol im aware it was a very crappy joke (how she survived the 'early game' of being unpopular)
My girl back on top!
Kalista did not get buffed? Dude the buff on her E was huge. She can keep stacking rend while it's still on cd.
That was at the beginning of the season, though. If I remember correctly, that was before or during spring split. While I do agree that's a massive buff to her and definitely a factor in her strength, it's not why she became meta.
Well you're definitely right, but I was pointing at the fact that he said that Kalista wasn't buffed or nerfed.
Please god no. No more funsucker meta.
Uhm kalistas WEAK lategame ???? Uhm she is a late game goddes
Kalista is my Waifu
2:47 Pray smooth criminal
Buff shaco pls... he just have no dmg to be a real assassin
Federico Rossetti but people build him bruiser
KT? That sure looks like Samsung to me.
LUL
I miss the fuck out of old Kalista
nice vid. since im a main support role, synergizing with the pick of the adc role player is a requirement especially when you're doing solo queues. e.g. twisted fate support jk.
Pretty much what happened with Janna
Kvoex People just found a really broken build with Janna
It's not just the build it's also the meta, everything together created that monster
Music just a notch too high
every kalista i see in my ranked games are dumb (im in plat btw)
I always play kalista as adc. now everyone wanna play her. zzzz
!giveaway
Longzhu vs Kt but the clip is Samsung not Kt otherwise another great video
You know why they nerfed adc so hard kallista became viable
