Kalista Comics, Vol. I; I never wrote that Judgment, so…

I had fun writing these.

Kalista Comics, Vol. I (with bonus Jarvan/Quinn material)

No, these do not reflect my view of Kalista within Factions canon. Although it'll be hard not to hear "i offer grim choice 2 claim vengnce" when I do get around to working on that Judgment.

My keen insightful eyes, honed by years of peering into the patterns of the universe, have allowed me to divine a certain... common thread.

CCT, sit down, let's have a talk. Tell me, where do your perceptions of ADCs as "derps" come from? Was it your mother? Was she trash-talked by ADCs during your childhood? Or was it your father, who mained jungle, always so distant, never ganking bot, never giving you a hug? Were you always under the shadow of an older ADC main sibling?

(I kid, I kid, those comics had me rolling on the floor. Good job, CCT :D).

(Also, as much as I love the idea of Kalista as a super serious vengeance spectre, I agree that her passive does not offer a choice and goes pretty much against her whole lore. When I first bought her, I thought that her passive worked by you clicking on the person, pulling out your spear, tossing it on the ground, and then the person completing the oath by right-clicking on the spear, like a Thresh lantern.)

"Good job hitting that creep! Here comes the next one, ready.... good job!. Ok, careful, there's a jungler coming, we need to back up. *Name* we need to back up now... you can do it. back towards the tower. No? Ok, hold on, I'll protect you, use all of my abilities here - *escapes with 5hp* there we go, good boy, you got back to your tower without dying, very good. Make sure you insult the enemy jungler as he's leaving, you did very good there. That was all you. Now, back to farming, hit that creep right there. Good job!"

Former support main. I know exactly ONE adc/assassin main who doesn't let it go to his head. He's the only person I'll offer to support for anymore. It gets really tiring after a while.

I loved it CCT, NJ.

I decided to take an attempt at some Kalista comics myself. They're a comment on the same thread, let me know what you thought.

Pretty much the best way to main support is to focus on what the enemy is doing instead of your ADC. Don't look at his farm, don't look at his items, don't look at his positioning, just keep your eyes on the enemy. If you can save him with your abilities, go ahead, but always prioritise your own safety.

Keeping your attention on the enemy instead of your ADC lets you react better, poke better, dodge better, anticipate their bullshit better, and relieves you the stress of having to deal with your ADC.

Also once laning phase is over, blow him a kiss in the wind and go off to do things all over the map.

As a Leona player, let me tell you that you cannot afford to ignore your ADC the whole time. Ignore farm and items a bit (as long as you know you're roughly even; engaging when your ADC has 2 dorans and their's has a BF sword is silly), but note how aggressive your fellow is, and how close they are if you engage. If I'm going in with my e, im expecting you to at least add to the damage in the exchange, unless I'm saving you when I have the tankiness to survive.

Back on the subject of Kalista AND bad ADCs:
That ult is the most infuriating thing ever and I mostly intentionally waste it because DIVING INTO THEM WHEN I COULD BE DOING A LOT MORE GOOD BY NOT DYING IS COOL.
Also, it makes no sense lore-wise if we're bringing that up. Kalista is supposed to be enacting your vengance and instead throws you to your death and claims she helped

Comic I posted related

Here is my luck with Kalista:

•if I am playing a tanky support they always spear the jungler
•if I am playing a squishy support they always send me into the enemy team.

I really hate the champion, because of the players and how she invalidates and melee-champ without a gapcloser

This was so good~

Reminds me of the days I played Kalista, and used the oath sworn on my friendly Lux. If you're reading this Purple Bavarois, I still apologize for that game :P

So why isn't this factions canon?

I mean, not the utter incompetence, but have any sort of support-ey champ nervously shift when she's mentioned. Or have her be... not the most intelligent captain and driven a bit mad and reckless.

That would be a funny side joke to have Kalista mentioned and Lux suddenly groan.

Personally I'd prefer to have one of the few sympathetic SI champions not be a joke or have a bad reputation at the Institute.

And this is why I always take the time to thank supports I like. Remember, kids: people won't save your sorry ass if they don't like you. Also, it's just common courtesy, I mean COME ON.

As a support main, I'm used to working with ADCs, and as a bronzie, I feel like I can't cast the first stone. So I'm typically ok with everything. Except for one thing.

If I see you build a Runaan's on anyone but Kayle, I will give up on that game and die a little inside.

I don't care if some pro did Runaan's on Kalista. You don't understand the actual purpose of that item on her and you do not have the mechanical skill to pull off coming back to lane with 0 bonus AD.

Just stop building Runaan's. Think of your support's mental health.

I'm ok on Runaan's on Kalista. In my games, people who build it on her generally seem to understand how this is supposed to work on Kalista and use it effectively.
