When playing on the same side, you should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal physical damage. Together, these champions can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.
In contrast, by bringing Jax and Kalista together, you will not be giving your side much crowd control. We recommend you bring other champions on your team that offsets this gap in their capabilities.
Regardless of the ability of your Kalista teammate, you should focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
