Revert Akali

Hello everyone,

I have created this discussion, although it is not a new topic, to talk about Akali. I know that what I say alone will not do much, but I hope after reading this and seeing how many other people would prefer to have Akali reverted does a lot. Before Akali's rework, she had a low play rate just like she does now. Although, at this moment Akali only has a low play rate because she is banned almost every single game. As a player who has been here since season 5 on different accounts, I never liked to have a large champion pool. I liked to find a champion that I loved to play and I never got bored of playing. As you can see in my username, that was Yasuo at one point. After a little bit, I grew to be bored of Yasuo, so I searched for a new champion to main and I found Akali. The moment I watched some videos on her, I knew I would love to play her. She then got reworked in season 6 I believe and I forgot about her. Then, I observed her more, played her a bit, and realized I liked that version even better than the one from season five and early season 6. Although that version was not as strong as the one from before, she was never banned, and played by a select few who enjoyed playing her as I did. I then one tricked her, which got me out of bronze which is a big moment for every League player, and I played her all the way to gold. I eventually heard that Akali was going to get a rework, and I was very sad. I had hoped that it would not be a huge change and that I would still love to play her. Once the abilities for her were released, I thought that it wouldn't be too bad. I was happy at first to see that she had true stealth, but thought that that was going to be a huge problem for being able to play her in ranked. I ended up being right. Akali now has an extremely low win rate and play rate. This rework could have been good, if it was made to play against other champions that had broken abilities like true stealth. The select few players that loved playing that season 7 and some of 8 Akali I imagine were all sad. In result of the rework, I stopped playing League. I had no joy in playing the game that I loved to play on. Other players, old Akali players and non Akali players want the old Akali back. Some want it because they miss the old Akali, and others want it because this new one is just so unfair to play against. Not only is it unfair to play against, but unfair to play as for multiple reasons. If you get fed as this new Akali, you can either be extremely overpowered, or still feel like you are weak and will get pummeled in a team fight. It is also unfair because if you fall behind, there is not a chance get back to where everyone else is, XP and gold wise. With the old Akali, those times where you have a bad game you could hope to get back to where everyone else is and help your team win by farming and doing other things to help. Like I said, if it really isn't enough people wanting akali to be reverted, then so be it. You can lose those players to other games because they don't have much fun here anymore. If you take the players who want the revert (such as big names in the League community like Professor Akali and TF Blade), and the facts that this knew Akali can never be played due to being banned, and that she is hated by everyone into account you will see the obvious action. The action to revert akali back to the exact way she was before.

Thank you for reading, I really does hope this gets you to consider a revert and not just nerfing her invisibility, -Steezy Boy

Honestly, I just plain miss the old Akali. She was my main and my "go-to" reliable champ when I wanted to have a good time and feel ever confident. I'm not saying either is better, but simply that I miss the old Akali and that a revert would be incredibly welcomed.

Please REVERT AKALI, her changes clearly are not working. All the constant nerfs and buffs. No one likes playing this champion anymore. Most famous akali players like TF Blade and Proffessor Akali have stopped playing akali. Both of them have made public posts/videos saying to revert akali. She has one of the lowest win rates in solo/que. Majority of players cant play akali and wont put in the time to get better because of the constant nerfs. Majority of old akali mains hate the new akali. So just revert the damn champion. Akali was fine before... had a small growing comunity that like playing her, with streamers promoting her. Regardless of how people considered the old akali more "broken" she was never banned or nerfed this often. No one going to buy new skins for a champion that keeps getting nerfed because riot cant balance... She not even an assassin anymore with all the damage nerfs.....

Revert akali plzz! She was totally fine until that rework, now you can't play her a second and if you can play her you'll lose because she's stupidly nerfed. Give me the old akali.

Reversion should be the last option, not the first.

i personally dont Think she needs one! I mean i am akali main and was grown up around the old akali and as much as i do miss her! I like the new one bc not many can master her bc she takes more skill than just point and click and delete! people need to learn how to play around her shroud! thats it! she could use a dmg nerf a small one but theres nothing wrong with her

Tbh i think akali would be fine if they justr emoved her invincibility under turret, old akali was even more stupid

Yeah, no thanks. Old Akali was completely broken to the point where the only way to unbreak her was to completely nerf her into the ground. Not only that, but she wasn't fun to play. And I've been an Akali main since Season 3. I like the new Akali. Just because you people don't know how to play against her, or rather outright REFUSE to attempt to counter-play her, doesn't mean she needs to be changed. You need to get better.

I will always be team revert, too

I didn't want to join the #Revert Akali bandwagon but, at this point, I think it should be done. They're constantly nerfing her and her wr is trash. I played old Akali from bronze 5 to plat with over 1000 games across many accounts. Riot should just return her to the way she was because her rework isn't working. They changed her because her old kit was "toxic" to the game but this new kit is even worse and riot never had to nerf her this much in the past.

I mained old akali for 3 years, when i finnaly got 700 mastery points on her on the third account i was happy to master akali on 3 accs with lvl 7. Then they reworked her. #feelsbadman. But still i continue to main akali.

I just wanna play Akali again. This abomination is not Akali.

They reverted Zac, and tbh Zac was decently ok as he currently was after his rework (and their "reversion" wasn't even a true reversion, but instead tried to combine the two and failed it)

They reverted LeBlanc, and though I definitely prefer this reverted version to what they did with the rework, I know what they were trying to do and there were several avenues they could've taken for her that would've accomplished their goals. (so don't say "reverting is always the last option" because it's clearly not...)

But they're gonna be this damn stubborn about Akali despite repeatedly changing every element of her rework and still flopping.
