Akali needs some kind of a heal in her kit

I've been playing the new Akali for.... let's say a while now. The new nerf hit me like a pile of bricks. So after several frustrating games in pbe i kinda got that she needs the heal otherwise you're FORCED to buy several bruiser items after gunblade and zhonyas, cuase they're just not enough. So i went with item 3053 and item 3812, but you can see where I'm going with this. Akali is an assassin and the combination of those two items isnt a pick for an assassin, so I thought to give her passive a heal. It would go like this: After harming an enemy with one of her abilities, a circle appears. once she exits it her next basic attack will do extra dmg and five her hp. it scales with lvls and hitting a champion with it has an increased heal so Akali should go and do these risky trades.

also her W. I think it stays too long on the battlefield. If you decrease its lifetime you could still give her the true stealth mechanic, cause the dive must be precise and calculated.

I agree. These would be great changes to Akali. Putting the heal on her passive forces her to commit not only an ability, but landing that auto as well, revealing her in her shroud twice and not moving.

Even if just the first second of the shroud is true stealth to drop turret aggro, it would be a big improvement. Give it a much shorter base duration, but increase the amount she can get for revealing herself. She'd get a lot of time to fight in the smoke, but she couldn't just sit in it and hide until she gets a good opportunity to strike.

wondering why anyone would buy gunblade on akali now that the only single target spell she gets complete spellvamp from is E.

Before her rework, Q was single target not AOE and applied complete spellvamp, not anymore.
