League of Legends is a notoriously complex game with a near-endless number of champion-specific mechanics, many of which interact with each other in confusing ways.
This Karthas & Kalista combo is really BROKEN #leagueoflegends #lolcombos #kalista #karthas
Today, the League community discovered a new mechanic en masse on the game’s official subreddit. Many players discovered that Kalista earns credits for minion kills whenever the champion she’s paired with via The Black Spear last hits a minion.

The latter in particular provoked some serious backlash from the community, with many players in the thread's comments having no idea it was a mechanic at all. The only mention of the interaction is vaguely described in the passive effect of Kalista's Sentinel (W) ability, which gives players a hint about bonus damage dealt by both entities, as well as an execute effect that finishes off targets when they're below 125 HP.
