Akali need to be fixed

So basically riot really screwed up in reworking akali. Now i know a lot of you guys out there love the reworked akali, but lets get real here please. Since the akali rework it has been nothing but a mess, she was way too strong and OP at the start of the rework for akali but as we get further along things are getting worse. Riot has nerfed her to nothing she does no damage and has an outragous CD on her ultimate meaning as soon as you blow ult on a fight are need to play safe or you are screwed. The real problem with akali is her mobility, she can engage a fight and if its a mistake she just E's or ults out of the fight, over walls to teammates etc. And she can also engage a fight even if the enemy champ is miles away akali and dash 3 times 4 with flash to catch up if needed. People under esstimate how OP her mobility is. Riot didnt need to rework akali to begin with they were stuck for something to do to make the game interesting again so they decided to take a older champ and make her into this piece of trash she curently is. At most they just needed to give her a sleek visual rework and leave it at that she was such a balenced champ before the rework. Please I am begging people to help me get riot to give akali a revert it is way over due and much needed.

Her rework is bad, but you're delusional if you think she was better pre-rework. At least she makes sense and feels like a ninja now. Sunfire tank Akali wasn't exactly fun to fight against either

So let me get this straight....

  • Her ult is too high cooldown so if she uses it she's not a champion, fair point
  • Her issue is the too much mobility as she can ult whenever ganked....that contradicts the other point you made or the person ganking her is trash

So basically, it's either people like you OP have no idea what they are talking to the point where their own arguments contradict eachother OR people don't know how to play against her most of the time. And it's both.

Yesterday had a Darius against an Akali, I made sure he won that lane, but....the sheer stupidity from his mouth was incredible. I told him to buy an early Specters Cowl, he said he will AFTER he gets his Black Cleaver. To whoever I told to buy the needed items to shut her down, I always got the same reply, regardless of match-ups, "AFTER MY CORE ITEM", if I was playing Akali and stomping, I would actually tell my opponent what to buy, I always did that even on pre-rework Akali, and yet, the same reply comes now as back then, "after X item".

I'm sorry, but that "after" is too late.
