Proposed Akali Changes

She's obviously a champion who's too strong in the right hands

These are the changes I think will make her more fair to play against, while still good if the akali player is able to play well"

Q: Slightly longer cooldown Something like from 1.5 seconds to 2 seconds in order to give her less consistent wave clear and sustained damage

Also, make it so the threshold for the heal is 185 instead of 180

W: This is the most problematic ability To start, the duration needs to be shorter (by 33%) and the cooldown longer (1-2 seconds)

However, I propose that we keep the idea that her entering and exiting the shroud will extend the duration of the smoke, but buff this feature, that way her shroud is still effective in combat

Or, instead of these two changes we could change it from being obscured to just being stealthed

E: Add a tether range to the dash if it hits an enemy champion I'd say about LeBlanc E range, which means that akali needs to stick with her opponent if she wants to recast it

R: Change the stun to a very brief silence (Kassadin Q/Blitzcrank R) Also, a reduction on the mid-late execute damage is needed as well

EDIT: I should probably mention that these changes should NOT be made all at once, but rather one at a time, or as needed

You're suggesting a nerf to every part of the champion's kit, which would be pretty certain to cripple her. When doing nerf suggestions, I always recommend more specifically targeted nerfs that address specific issues, rather than suggesting nerfs to every aspect of a kit. Normally you want incremental changes, as you'd be surprised what small adjustments can do.
