Champions don't get deleted. How many times does that really have to be said? It's never happened before so why is it requested like it's something that could happen?

I saw that ban rate and I honestly don't see why. Mostly. I've had a few lanes where Kalista sort of pushes like the devil and you lose your turret and your first recall or death but I've found ways around that as well and it's usually grabbing her and forcing an encounter onto her.

I've kept my turret and forced Kalista back when playing champs with naturally long or long range abilities on activate.

Kalista will usually play a support that synergies well with her ultimate but I find that any attempt at forcing her to use her ultimate defensively is a win in lane as long as it doesn't perpetrate a counter attack. You want real easy CC, A reliable speed boost, shields, and a gap closer. Unless it's Karma or Lux spell cast harass won't work and Kalista will dodge most of it. Harass from auto attacks is far more effective than cast spells unless it's Varus' Q when combined with Lulu's Whimsy.

Basically I'm saying you need to play Draven, Varus, Caitlyn, Kog'maw, Jinx, Tristana as the marksman choices with Nautilus, Lulu (only with Varus and Kog'maw), Karma, Lux, Tahm Kench, and Leona.

Sustain lanes don't work and harass lanes can only work if you dogpile bottom lane with physical attacks and spells. Otherwise it's better to just grab and CC Kalista.

Note that rather than do any of the things I just mentioned the pros just opted to ban her. Not quite how you learn to beat a champion but they do have a lot riding on these competitions so it's easier to ban a champ than it is to learn how to fight them.
