Should Akali's AA timer be reset after using a dash or Q?

She honestly just seems to have one of the clunkiest combos ever and it's hardly fun to do it. I often find myself spending a year waiting for her to attack a marked target and that could mean so much in a fight just because the only way to do any real damage is to use a basic attack on a marked target. She just feels like the worst assassin to use and gets countered fairly easily.

As an Akali main I'd have to agree, it's difficult to see whether you actually got the auto attack off. I find myself cancelling my auto entirely thinking that it went off and of course losing a lot of damage output.

This would be a small, but nice buff from Riot.

Yes, PLEASE. This is INCREDIBLY annoying. SO annoying and clunky.

QoL buff for a currently underperforming champ that legit just gives her more consistency? Hell yeah I can get behind that.

Sure, if they make it so if you step inside her circle you can see her

Honestly, this would probably break her. Auto resets are extremely powerful, especially on burst champions.

That would be fine but her damage would have to be lowered.

Anything like that to smoothen out her pattern would be helpful. A faster attack frame (so she hits sooner but doesn't increase her attack speed), ult procing the q mark, ulting someone while q is in flight to them causing it to hit instantly (so you don't dash on t them and auto them before the mark lands and then have to wait and auto again), having max attack speed against marked targets while inside shroud (so she would always be able to quickly proc mark against someone in her territory), leting e proc q again, letting e make a q thats in flight to a hit target instantly land and proc (so she could reliably q-r-e and know for sure that all of the damage is going to land and land smoothly without awkward dicking around), let procing q reset the auto timer (so that you can q, wait, ult-auto-q-auto without being stalled while waiting around for the attack speed to hit the second q mark)...

There are a lot of ways riot could make the whole pattern feel better and more reliable. I'd rather they do something like this to bring akali back up to par rather than 'lol heres 3% more base spellvamp on the passive' or something that could increase her winrate in a not very satisfying way..
