Her passive doesn't require anything other than outright grabbing her and laying down CC which is why nautilus is such a great champ because she can't hop away from his ult and his grab is followed by a stun and a slow.

Zed can kill her to be quite honest. His entire rotation is shorter than it takes for Kalista to come up with a counter attack or to get completely away from him.

All Ahri has to do, as usual. Is land that charm. If that Ahri is even as remotely farmed as she should be she should be she be able to kill Kalista and chase her before Kalista can get a killing Rend off of her.

Rengar should be able to kill her with his entire Combo if he's even remotely well farmed which he should be able to do espescially with his ult up.

Xin Zhao sort of can kill Kalista if he can get her while his ult is up and land the three talon strike. If he can't kill her in that time frame she could in fact get away.

Assassins are not just burst mages that can destroy a squishy really quickily. That would add to the list a lot more than just Annie and Viktor, an assassin is a champ that gets in and gets out after killing at least one person in a single rotation. Who isn't that? Annie and Viktor! Those are AOE champs looking to burst and CC an entire team to death and survive by killing everyone first.

You don't need an assassin per se to deal with Kalista. You just need crowd control and a chance to grab her. And while mentioning all these melee champs how did you overlook Malphite, Hecarim, and Vi?
