Patch v5.9 http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/V5.9
Shadow Dance
- New Effect: Now leaves Akali 150 - 250 units on the far side of target. The distance behind the target increases the closer the target is from Akali on-cast.
In Patch v5.9, the introduction of the strike-through on her ultimate reduced the missile speed of the dash.
As shown in the first video, the missile speed reduction is clearly obvious:
-
Pre-patch v5.9 the dash speed is pretty much instant.
-
Whereas post-patch v5.9 Akali takes her sweet-ass time gliding through the air when she is dashing.
This contributes to her feeling more clunky than needed since v5.2 nerfs.
TLDR: The introduction of the strike-through (Post-patch v5.9) on her ultimate should not reduce the missile speed.
