Kalista...a late game ADC...who doesn't even build crit...right...If you saw MSI, you know that Kalista can't break through tanks, as there was even one case of a Kalista landing around 20 spears on a Sejuani, popping the Rend damage and dealing 1/4 of her life at best, so i'd advise you to redefine your idea of lategame. Also her synergy with BotRK is the same as with most ADC's, if anything it's better than Lucian's. Also Trist's scaling attack speed is extremely low post-rework and her steroid only lasts 5 seconds, after which she has a massive DPS drop even with the CDR resets. Besides, almost no ADC has a way of dealing with tanks now, unless it's a dedicated tankbuster like Vayne or Kog and even then.

I'm not saying that she's a hypercarry level ADC, but her range, natural attack speed and passive make her scale very well with items, problem is her spell damage (more specifically her Q damage) falls off faster very early in the game, which creates a weird power curve, where her damage falls off fast and only scales back up when she's completed the 4 core damage items at the minimal and then she can AA very fast, very hard. People tend to mistake this mid game drop, for a poor lategame, which simply isn't true.
