A thank you to Riot from an Akali main

Now I know I will probably get a lot of hate for playing a toxic, cancerous champion or something along those lines, but this is an honest thank you to Riot for somewhat fixing Akali after her pretty bad nerfs in 5.2, she was left in that nerfed state for 6 patches and then some light was shed on her in 5.9 giving her R and E a little more utility and damage/waveclear. Although I did not like the ult changes in 5.9, they were headed in the right direction, now that it's 5.10 and her ult passthrough has been reduced on marked targets, I can honestly say that Akali feels much better if not better than her pre nerf state in 5.1. Her R is now reliable at proc'ing her Q without dashing to Africa when they are walking towards you since it puts you literally right behind the target so if they are running you will get the auto off no matter what, and her E is finally a good wave clear ability, but be careful not to "Energy Dump" (CertainlyT Puns NA).

Thank you Riot for not ignoring Akali is her post nerfed state. item 3146 Akali item 3146

ya thanks for posting this reminds me can't wait to try her new r. i really didn't like how far it put you behind someone.

Yea, it felt like you could r on someone just outside their turret range, and when you stopped you were on the opposite side of their turret and out of range to r back. Exaggerating, but only a little.

That 5.9 "R" got me killed maybe 2-3 times in 15 games so I'm also glad they fixed it. I agree with you that the "W" changes in 5.9 we're great even more so for someone that plays her mostly in the jungle.

She still suffers from hitting Q, hitting R and getting off an AA before Q lands, allowing individuals like Kalista to escape before you can proc it.

EDIT: Just played the new changes, she feels good. They just need to fix the Q/R speed thing and I'll be happy.
