Nerfing Champions Too Hard.

There's a dead zone in early game where she can only AA FOR 3 SECONDS and because she is so squishy makes her instantly killable. I've played Akali for almost 3 years now (500+ games over 3 accounts) and when I started playing again on her, I noticed a HUGE difference. She was already fairly difficult to play in higher Silver and Gold because everyone knows to buy a pink ward and to target her with attacks and CC immediately.

I've been getting my ass kicked by champions that should never be able to stand a chance against me. The champions that I counter are now able to defeat me.

I'm completely useless pre-6. Completely. I can't even farm if I'm against an opponent who wants to poke. Just with Q which isn't much. This is normal. I've gotten used to that but the exchanges have now gone to complete shit.

The first reason being, noone mentions they upped the energy cost on her abilities making her use one each and creating this dead zone of CD and lack of energy to do anything making her useless and allowing the enemy champion to just, well, kill her. Having this problem prevents her from bursting properly. She's useless.

The same strength I had at 6 before the updates, I now receive at 16 when considering CD and energy cost. I have to wait til about level 16 to become fully effective. By then, the game is usually over and I've lost my lane.

I do snow ball with her still some games. Very few. But that's because I'm a good player with her and I know when to attack and how to attack especially when ganking the other lanes from mid to help myself snowball.

But man, I cannot win a single straight up 1v1 exchange against any other mid laner now. I have to have at least 3 kills on them and that's probably because I can't farm early game. I was 2 levels on a Diana and she still killed me. My cooldowns do not go with my HP well. By the time my 2nd round of shit is off CD from hiding in shroud I'm already too low to re-engage and I'm forced to run away or B.

Even when I'm doing well, my job, is to assassinate the other carries. That's my job. I have to kill the ADC at least and then fuck off. I can't even do that anymore. Believe me, I time it right so the others are preoccupied and it's just me and the ADC. But the ADC manages to kill me and that's that.

I feel like it was the community of low level players in bronze ranked and normals who couldn't and didn't know how to deal with Akali effectively. Akali isn't hard to beat. She has tons of counters, too. Anyone with poke like Brand or Ziggs. Zilean, Morgana, Malzahar and Galio are her hardest counters. I have absolutely no champion I can win lane against. There's none. Zero. I have played over 40 games with her this season and almost every single game, I get my ass handed to me now. ALL of my stats are significantly lower than every other champion.

I feel this is unfair because I became really good with a champion and the community complained and now I'm suffering for it because I'm a good player? How is that even remotely fair? This happened with Mordekaiser, Fiora and Shyvana, too. I'm sure Shyvana will get nerfed. So will Shen, probably. Every time I pick a champion and focus my efforts on being a good player and learning that champion effectively, I get the same reaction that they need to be nerfed. Like, fuck these people if they can't handle it, don't play ranked then, why am I being punished learning how to play well with my champion? INCREDIBLY frustrating. This has happened on more than one occasion where I've had to completely abandon a champion because Riot completely fucked them sideways so hard. cough Mordekaiser cough

Noone bats an eye when Tryndamere or Master Yi or Jax or Yasou steam rolls through the entire team straight up 5v1 by a Bronzie and gets a Pentakill but when Akali Teleports down and secures a double kill because the enemy team is overextended, everyone loses their minds. All the recent updates against the Homeguard, Teleport, Lich Bane, have all been against Akali.

Like fuck that, Akali wasn't even that bad. I slowed down playing her last year because I was getting higher in ranked and the people there knew how to deal with me. I only selected very specifically on team comp and my lane opposition. She was very beatable if you weren't a retard.

Now, she's just straight up fucked. I have to get carried most of the time. IF we make it to late game, I can manage, maybe, MAYBE to delete the ADC but that seems to be enough to win some team fights to carry us to victory. But most of the time, I'm SOL and so is my team.

Either give back her burst you fucktards or beef up her stats (since she's melee and being squishy, that doesn't work too well).

Do something. Give me back my champion.

It takes so much time to learn a new champion and to learn them well because there are so many factors involved, as simple as this game is, the chaos of the environment makes it super unpredictable especially with the vast amount of champions and 10 different people, not players, every single game.

Heaven forbid you do this to Syndra or Lissandra. I would lose my fucking mind.

P.S. - I find this is a strategy to force people to buy new champions by messing up the old ones people were comfortable with. Not spending a dime on this game anymore. Was planning on buying $500 worth more of skins next month but nah.

Fuck you.
