Why is Akali's Q free to cast?(rant)I am so tired of older champions

so I laned against an Akali and she zoned me by simply non stop qing me every time I came up to lane for CS.the energy cost on her Q is SO LOW there is absolutely no way Akali goes oom in lane unless she wants too. goes oom if he misses his shadow shurikens, goes oom if he misses taunt or if he cant wail on people with Twilight assualt(he also has ZERO ranged abilities) goes oom if you dont weave in auto attacks. goes oom if he misses lightning rush or doesnt get off his stun. all these heros are gated by circumstances and be played around.

but not theres no interaction and theres no real counterplay to this garbage in lane. even getting null magic and 5 hp pots does jack shit because you will still fall behind in CS and akali can build magic pen to counteract this.The only real way to beat this is to take ridiculous amounts of HP5 and even then this only stops the harass part. you still cannot risk walking up to Akali and getting your mark procced.

I had no Idea how actually cancer this character was rather it be her INSANE sustain once gunblade or revolver is obtained or rather it be her absolutely idiotic sticking and all in power at level 6. I have never faced a more unfun lane that being a melee vs Akali.

I felt so powerless to do anything about her. It was as if I automatically lost lane and was being punished for picking a melee champ.Hell her damn Q isnt even a skill shot so theres no "okay I can outplay her and win trade If I do X". Your simply set to fail because you chose a champion from a different era.

since the assassin update is a LONG ways off can we please band-aid this shit in the meantime? Im so tired of watching these problematic relics from an older season steamroll me because of a flawed kit from a different era of balance philosophy.

Honestly rather it be for better or for worse

these Champion reworks cannot come soon enough. But until then

Eat your freaking heart out.

EDIT: Akali is not OP. its simply that its bullshit to play against her in lane because she has free harass only gated by cooldown(4-6 seconds assuming no CDR is involved.) I have the same problem with and s laning pattern.

Its that playing against some champs in league feel outright unsatisfying and unfair. Theyre blatant stat checking bullcrap.

dieing to a leaves you with " oh I shouldve dodged the tornado" or "oh I shouldnt have gone near the creeps when he was glowing" , "Maybe next time I will bait out the windwall then kite back until it goes down".

dieng to or is simply "not much I can do except build more resist" .

we are at a point where stuff like this should be well on its way out of this game or being replaced. Akali being able to shit damage and kill people in 3 seconds isnt that bad because there are many champs who can do the same. the problem is when resourceless champions or champions with archaic faulted kits crap all over you because they have to jump through considerably less hoops than you to achieve dominance.

Losing to targeted skills when your kit is chocked fuill of skillshots is unfun. Losing to a right click and forget champs isnt fun. Its like playing a game of Baseball except one person gets a Tennis racket .
