What in spicific still makes new Akali so problematic compaired to old Akali?

And by problematic I mean seen as being worthy of a 30% ban rate while at a about a 45% win rate.

Old akali used to spam E+passive iirc

Maybe the core design in Akali is just cancer whether it's new or old

I mean, her E was physical for old, so toplane fighters could actually tolerate it. Issue with new one is she can walk up, Q, walk back, gain a speedboost, auto, and repeat. Old Akali lacked any speed modifier for trading. And both instances of those are magic damage with phys from the auto with passive. Them hitting the scaling should theoretically bring her back to mid.

They are hitting her passive really hard I don't think I have ever seen a ratio lose .2 AP and .3 AD along with an effective resources cost in one go. don't expect her to be able to make anything but gunblade into trinity to be at all decent after the next patch and even that is pushing it. She is losing her trading, her poke and her assassination power all in one go.

The energy is down in later ranks, probably to make her dueling less stronger and more reliant on W usage for energy, a fair punishment tbh. My only issue with her passive is that the damage is bonus, if it acted like Sylas' passive where the auto was straight up the bonus damage, it would be easier to deal with those early trades by going double MR.

CC my dude, a Darius pull or a lux q. Just like all the other assassins

RagnaveilMay 31, 20191 votes

Darius won't run pull level 1 man. Thats the point im trying to make.

3 unconditional dashes. This ensures that if she can’t win a fight she is gaurenteed to get out. Also stupidly good bases and little to no counterplay to her stealth.
