I have made a few QQ threads before but things seem to be looking better after the last few patches. (Damage is still lower but not by 40%)

#One thing that still bothers me is that: The 1st AA heal is wasted by most players 50% of the time (every time you engage a fight). Reason being that you don't really take any damage before doing your first AA.

#Healing at full HP just doesn't make sense!

#It's the reason we mains cried about changing the order of the AA effects! (but that makes her burst window faster and you don't want that).

Now I can suggest something which will fix that issue without changing the order of her AA effects.

I was playing Akali as usual and I noticed an enemy Fiora with full HP hit a minion and get a shield.

It was in that moment that I went "Oh, fck they can do this easily!"

You know this item that ADC-s love to make?

If it still has not hit you:

Yeah, that is the one. http://oi64.tinypic.com/11s2ohg.jpg

The mechanic already exists in League!

Life steal that shields you if it goes over your max HP!

You can do that for the Akali passive!

• To avoid abuse (Gain shield then engage when passive is off cooldown and gain a 2nd shield) you can make it decay over 4 sec but make it a thing!
• No one is sad with such a solution - Akali gets her healing passive but she doesn't burst you in 0.5 sec

#That way we Akali players will not feel the urge to get hit in the face before we can attack someone! (and waste the passive healing part most of the time).
