Akali is a crock of....

Why does this champion even exist? Whenever she is on the enemy team in ranked silver 1 / gold 5 on either of my accounts, she goes like 37/2/12 or 14/3/1 by 15-25 minutes.

I don't even know what to do. She literally can 1-2 shot anyone on my team and then jump 16 times to get away and then shroud, flash over wall, then jump again.

It is beyond broken and I can't even believe they support this champion to be active and not broken.

She doesnt get like that if your team doesnt feed her. Seriously, her biggest counter, dont feed Akali.

Mid needs to play safer, jungle help mid a bit more, w/e. She doesnt feed early (or at all) and late game she's lucky to kill a squishy before getting pwned by the rest of the enemy team. Oh yeah, keep your squishies away from her too. Win.

They need to make her ult VASTLY different from what it is now, I think even adding a 3-4 second cooldown in-between each "R" would not even fix her appropriately.

Her ult is designed to be used repetitively on the same target. There is a reason its base damage and scaling are both very poor. A 3-4 second cooldown on it would do the opposite of not fixing her enough: it would completely and utterly murder her.

No other champion in the game can do a dash and ONE Q and two shot lvl 14 champions in ONE second who have tank items on a bruiser. Even if they have 30 kills, that shouldn't be possible. She is the ONLY one who can.

Well if she only needs one dash to do that, then a cooldown wouldn't matter anyway :P Maybe reduce the individual damage of her dashes?

Katarina says hello, and she can triple kill with just one ult AND reset and do it all again in seconds

also , Fiora would like a word...yeah..

sorry bud, but ima tell you the same every person that has every complained about akali has been told since before there was even ranked (yes ive played that long, akali was one of first champs bought, I don't even main her anymore btw)

learn 2 play and counter go tanky swain and lulz as she tries to run away everytime or shroud to invis and reset and you still hit her regardless

or you could focus her instead of just running away since she has the durability and hp of a wet toilet paper roll in a sandstorm

Better yet, insta-gib an entire team, 3 times in one match, while her whole team watches. NO other champion can do that. Why?

Every assassin in the game is feast or famine. Unless Riot considers assassins as a whole unhealthy, it is fair to say that Akali being "feast or famine" is not a problem in Riot's eyes.

If you want to make it so that Akali is not feast or famine then you're going to need to give her utility. And nobody wants an assassin with stuns now, do they?

they do consider them unhealthy and have steadily nerfed them (and are now considered unviable) and the role (also related are the jungle assassins they both nerfed and redid the jungle to stop their dominance in it) and most that arent touched are considered highly toxic by the players base.... but lcsbigplays .... and it all comes back to riot logic.

'but muh early game'

I love laning against Akali. Akali players are so shocked when they find themselves up against someone who actually buys wards and knows how to fight back against Akali.
