Akali feels awful now

So, you'd think the changes would amount to being buffs overall, right?

WRONG! Now you can quite literally just Ignite her and that's one of her abilities gone. Then they also made it so that her E does less damage in the early game (more in the late game) as well as increasing her ult's cooldown.

As it stands she's literally just an ult bot. If she doesn't have ult she's useless unless 25/0, if she has ult she MIGHT be able to kill her target.

Seriously, I went from actually doing well with Akali before changes when everyone called her hot garbage to pretty much having 0 impact because of the fact that I now seem to deal 0 damage.

Another issue I have with Akali now as a byproduct of the changes to her W is that now jungle ganks just ruin her indefinitely. Legitimately, gank her once, chunk her and walk away. Congrats, you've now just won against Akali in lane (provided you continue to not give up the lead you've mainted/just got). Akali wants to trade a lot in order for her to have kill pressure with you, and the moment you gank her she just loses said kill pressure immediately. Just Ignite her during a jungle gank and bam, you've just beaten her.

I understand that her Shroud is an unhealthy ability, but following her rework it's essentially her core ability outside of Q (and passive spam). If she can't use her W she can't fight unless she's fed, and due to the changes....she can't really use her W anymore.

I think it's high time Riot either reworks her again or flat out reverts her, cause clearly this iteration isn't cutting it when it comes to general gameplay health and balance.
