Akali's Q healing needs a bit of a nerf

Considering how her kit sustain synergizes perfectly with her item 3146, I believe the healing from her Q is in need for some nerf.

Not only can it be spammed every 1.5 seconds (even if you run out of Energy pretty quickly, limiting you to up to 3 consecutive usages), but it also heals akali for a satisfying percentage of her pre-mitigation damage. In other words, if she uses Q on the enemy Rammus with 250 Magic Resist, she will heal for more than the damage she dealt to that Leona, which in my opinion is unfair.

If only this gets nerfed, I reckon things are going to look more balanced. Besides, there is no actual reason behind having her sustain be that good. Her laning phase is okay since she has a satisfying waveclear that may turn into harass with a Q + AA combo. After she gets the item 3145 alone, she's close to becoming a monster. item 3146 complete and it's time she roamed bot to get an easy double kill after tower-diving, using her Q + E and procing her passive a number of times, using W to recover some Energy, and also avoid turret aggro while healing from her Q.

But I mean, her lvl 1 is complete garbage.

You have to be full energy to get a healing from her Q, which happen like once in a fight (on the other hand, fights last less than a second anyway)
