come on, what the fuck is taking so long with this VGU on akali!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
6.22 murdered akali on her R and has made it harder to farm with her bs W ability. plus her 2 proc passive sucks. because once thats gone you cant even AUTO a minion thats been hit by tower 2x. you cant kill it. you do like 12 damage once these two passive procs are used.
Seriously stop fucking around and get akali her VGU.
Riot likes to space out the types of champions they do in VGUs.
Warwick (Diver) Galio (Warden) Urgot (Juggernaut) Eve (Assassin) Swain (Battle Mage)
So yeah they don't want to do things like Nunu (Warden) who was another popular pick since they just did Galio, they won't do Akali cause Eve, Morde is a Juggernaut and we just got Urgot, ect.
Akali doesn't need a VGU. If she's imbalanced, that what she would need is buffs (or nerfs)
Sadly, Akali isn't the only champion in need of a full-scale rework.
we will get it after ricklessabondon retires lol
While I prefer Akali's VGU to be some time soon, Riot do what it wants and I respect that. VGUs only happen when they found a solid direction for the champion, hence a VGU will be ready when it's ready. There's no point trying to do a VGU for the sake of it and not do it properly, as they have learnt several times in the past.
The assassin update changes to Akali was only a placeholder until her VGU comes.
We looked into Akali pretty early on in the Assassin update and concluded that she probably needs a full VGU to get her to where she needs to be. We didn't want to push out a update that only fixed some of her problems as that hasn't netted great results in the past.
As for going back to older reworks. We already went back to Cass for the mage update. When we get to the Tank Class update we will likely give Shen a little love. Morde and Skarner are now on our list to get full VGUs one day (We skipped Akali because we didn't want a similar situation to Morde & Skarner, for example)
So while several champions deserve VGUs, including Akali, they will be ready when Riot has found a solid direction first.
As for mentions of Akali needing a VGU (2015):
akali like just got a rework 7 months ago fam.
Nah.
Nah.
