Who this champion beats in lane, and who beats it.Who counters Kalista and who Kalista beats
Kalista looks impossible to pin down because of Martial Poise, but that same passive is her biggest weakness: she can only move by attacking, so anything that stops her from auto-attacking freezes her in place. She is also short-ranged for a marksman and her scaling is mediocre, so she is a strong early-to-mid skirmisher who falls off as the game drags on. Hard crowd control, especially roots and stuns, is poison to her because she cannot hop while locked down. Long-range pokers who out-range her and out-scaling hypercarries both give her real trouble, the first by chipping her before she can engage and the second by simply being better once items come online. When you pick Kalista, you are betting on a sharp early lead and a support you can play in lockstep with, so respect anything that out-ranges you or can lock you to the spot.
