Lets play "Spot the Weakness": Reworked Akali edition
So riot likes to say their champs have windows of power and weakness/counterplay CoughBs-mostlycough, some champs show this, likeeee lets sayyy.... Shen for instance isnt all that strong if he misses his E, or Ezreal is more vulnerable during the downtown of his E, Zed has to play with zome prudency if he misses his WQ combo till it comes back up, Aurelion is very exposed if you get into his personal space, Illaoi can be in a very weak position if she doesnt have tentacles nearby, ecs That sort of thing. Sort of.
Basicly a window where you can fight back, be it from lack of mov abilities or CC abilities usually being on Cooldown. Leblanc is a prime example of someone who **doesnt **really have this vs Melee champs who dont have massive dashes. She practically always has either 1 or 2 Chains or Dashes and you really never have a window to fight her in a 1v1 or even reach her, creating frustration situations.
SOooooo who can spot Akali's? **Because i sure cant. **
She has a ranged slow on her Q on a very short CD. Her W and E are both mobility spells/disengage spells that **also **allow her to re-engage, and now, her ult can simply be used as 2 free dashes (like you dont even have to actually hit the first part to gain acess to the second, because you know, Free mobility).
So can anyone see where her window of weakness is? If all 4 of her abilities which are on either short or moderate cooldowns provide either CC, Mobility or total true stealth?
I cant see it
Well see for sure tomorrow but Im guessing she is going to have paper thin stats and low base, high scalings so she has to purely focus on damage.... otherwise.... [zombie-nunu-bummed] Tons of fun incoming to the rift.
is her weakness. Just stun her before she goes into her cloud.
