Now when you gut Akali...

It's not fair that Akali mains are the only one who should feel desperate for their champion getting demolished by riot. Those are hard nerfs even for me, and I hate that champion with a passion.

Nerfs are justified, there is no champion who needs this much kind of survival while dealing outrageous amount of damage.

Have you considered doing the same to Lee Sin, Ekko, and make Irelia dash speed scale of her movement speed like Yasuo, so her previous - 5 ms 'nerf' might actually mean something?

Skins were sold well, can we nerf them now and than after gutting overloaded kit champions, nerf every item in whole game by 5 damage, may it solve powercreep/damagecreep bulls*it we witnessing now.

lee ekko and even irelia are nowhere near as fucking broken as akali is, it doesn't help that shes impossible to lane against as well.

Man, I wonder who was the first champion that got shafted in the ass by Riot, but the community didn't care? Aatrox

Just wait till they change something that makes her unviable mid and suddenly she is a top-lane problem and riot don't fix those. xD

i feel torn by akali, i like her theme of a ninja and aestetics and all but geez she is horrible to deal with even if she is hard to play as some ppl do. she suffers from a big problem, if the person really knows how to play her she just works so so well, to the point it feels unfair, but most ppl dont do so well with her so her winrate is terrible; this is why winrate isnt a good stadistic to a point. it is always about how ppl feel about a champion, if janna have 60% winrate but ppl dont think there is a problem then she is just a bit too efficient, but if yasuo akali or irelia get to that point they feel so unfair and broken due the nature of their kit making it feel like you didnt lose because the enemy player did better but because their champions is busted

It’s because akali is broken no matter what. The problem is the kit.

Wut?

Like champ still does too much damage with her Passive and Q. Just because you can now flash Akali R on 70 ping and she has some minor counterplay only available to a handful of champs isn't gonna make this champ balanced. She is being brought down from god tier to S+ tier. Like these nerfs don't really change much

Wait how is Irelia a problem?

She is a niche pick at this point, she craps on ranged champions since she can just dash and reset her dash to gapclose on them no matter how most of them try to run but......most melee do not actually have a problem with her?

Except Aatrox, she´s always been good into him but then again, he sucks balls against everything that gapcloses even remotely well.

When i look at Irelia´s U.gg matchups page (diamond) for last patch she only has 12 winning or even matchups in the toplane while anything else she loses and pretty badly at that.

Nr 13 is Camilie whom Irelia had 47% winrate into for reference, her overall winrate then was 45%, pickrate was 7.5% and banrate 6.1%

Now Akali had a similar winrate at 47% and a pickrate at 8%, but she also had 38% banrate, i really wana state my case here that compared to Akali Irelia is not a problem, she is a niche pick who is good in her niche and only people whom she counters are affected and they are not too many.

As for her -5 movespeed nerf.....do you have any idea how many major nerfs Irelia got after that one? She really needs no more x)

every nerf to Akali is a nerf well spend
