Maye you're reading it wrong. Cuts it in half rounded up could mean 0.5 -> 1, hence it does 1 damage.

You're right that at first you'd think it's meaning it rounds down to 0. I like the other …

After running it with coworkers came up with this (snowing we’re bored).

Kalista 3M

2/4 Fearsome

Play or attack: Grant an ally +1/+0

Strike: If I die revive me at end of round.

Level up …

True, but since she's coming out later she shares a spot with Thresh.

At 3 mana and 2/4 the bonded is a 'flavor' mechanic. It's more important before she levels but is not as detrimental when she levels.

…

Yeah I didn't want to add QA to her either. Since she was originally supposed to try to avoid damage by her bonded absorbing it for her, her kit's weak as is.

Personally I like the strike - Last …

Actually I'll revise that. Leglock might be on the right track.

3M - 2/4 Fearsome

When summoned bond to an ally. Grant it +1/+0 for every ally that dies.

Strike: If I die this round, revive me.

It's interesting I suppose, however she'd still die. She doesn't have quick attack, unlike Katarina who is similar, to strike FIRST then remove herself. Turn 3+ people will be having 3+ units.

Also you're removing 3 points of offense …

The only issue I have with that is it makes her look and feel like Thresh. 

Especially when both have similar level up mechanics.

Would be interesting if she could chuck her bonded at her target and do …

That would gut her more than help her. She'd have no offensive ability in order to 'take a hit'.

That's a 3 drop 2/4. So instead of 6 offense stats you'd drop it to 4.

However an edit …

Yea you're right above the fearsome in that way. I kinda did like the old way where her bonded did block for her making her more attack oriented.

What about Support then?

Bond to a unit, granting it …

What do you all think Riot will do to her in the next patch, since they mentioned her by name?

Right now her problems are: She's too reliant upon her bonded, she's a fearsome 3 drop when other 3 …
