Akali doesn't need a buff, she needs more nerf

she already has a 50%+ winrate due a bad champion design and now that she is not getting 1st timed every game her winrate is 51% and pickrate is pretty high even for a 51% winrate

What websites do you use that say she has a 50% WR?

op.gg for an example

only na servers and some other servers have bellow 47% but oce has 52% and korea 51% so akali cant really get buffed without becoming broken in the hands of people who know how to play her.

OP.gg isn't great for statistics, league of graphs and lolalytics are more accurate.

i used lol analytics and league of graphs but the fact that a hard champion can have a +50% winrate with a 4% playrate in korea and oce is not very balanced even when the precentage of mains isnt +1%

51% winrate on one of the hardest champions to master is pretty bs.

one of the hardest champs having +50% winrate with a high pickrate. im not saying its the biggest problem but im saying riot absolutely cant buff her when you think that now that there are broken toplanest getting nerfed making her winrate raise slightly but its still a problem

They just straight up need to admit this rework, from a gameplay perspective, was a catastrophic failure, the likes we've never seen before. Not saying she needs to be completely reverted, just needs to be heavily modified before they even think of attempting to make her viable again.
