Let's talk about Akali's Nerf.

Hi, I main Akali since Season 2, and this nerf from patch 5.2 completly changed her and made her not so viable anymore, she's still quite playable but it's very annoying, feels like she has an arm cut off while playing her now. Her win rate dropped from 50-55% to around 45%...

I can live with the range nerf on ult, that is still pretty annoying, but the Q-E combo was essencial for her, now it's very hard to play her on lane, and it was already hard at least before level 6, now it's even harder, I think this nerf is just too much, and if I didn't play her for such a long time I might have not felt it, but she feels handicapped...

I have guides for her for every season and I want to start the one for S5 soon, but I have to figure out the laning phase a bit more now, since it's pretty hard to catch them now, it sucks when someone gets away and you should have been able to reach them with ultimate or to explode the Q with the E, that was the point, you use it get close and explode it and leave without getting hit, now it's really hard to do a good combo on her, and pretty impossible before level 6. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDxcNmKNcJE

I really think this nerf has no place, and she should be rebalanced and nerfed if necesarry elsewhere...last changes on her made Akali harder and harder, just adding the Q-E back would be great, but 2 nerfs are just too much. Thanks, Remus - The Akali God Of Evil Lemons™
