User blog comment:GutsyTick/CR: Kalista, the Arch Sentinel/@comment-24511547-20150303192111/@comment-26044269-20150304043729

The intention of this reimagining was to come up with a kit in which would remind one of the current Kalista whilst also offering something entirely new, contradictory and refreshing. As far as lore is concerned, the Kalista which is listed here as an Arch Sentinel does not exist, so I'm honestly failing to see why the thematic clashing would be a problem.

As for the kit and its complexity, I would like to state that everything was made whilst focusing on the capability of each ability synergizing with any other ability, but I can see where you're coming from. Although in my opinion the kit really isn't complex as one might make it out to be at first glance, I can understand how the wall of text might look unpleasing, confusing and even overloaded. And to be quite fair the only thing which should be put to blame here is my inability to make things concise.

Furthermore, on the topic of itemization, I personally don't think AD tank itemization is horrible. In fact, what I was trying to do here was just make a typical tanky bruiser build (+sightstone with maxed cdr) very decent if not the most optimal build possible for Kalista.
