Akali needs less late game energy use on E.

Since it's on a 1 second cooldown and it's pretty spammy with CDR your energy runs out so fast you can't even use E late game unless you wanna be stuck with no energy. Which is such a huge thing because when you constantly run out of energy the enemy just free pokes you and you cant do crap for a while. Or buff her total energy so she can do something to multiple people without dying. She can't 1v3 or more at all and even 1v2 is a problem because you basically rely on sitting in your shroud for the entire duration after killing the first.

Basically for a late game champion she has a bad late game with her energy use.

You can use it like twice, maybe three times in your combo without running out of energy (like once, MAYBE twice with CDR).

Her energy management is actually pretty chill. You need to remember that energy champs aren't supposed to spam their abilities. If you use Q only, you'll NEVER run out of energy, even with 40% CDR. Her main power is Q and R anyways. E might be overkill.

so? isn't like that the intended use of energy? The regeneration is fast but you run out of it if you spam your abilities and thus you are supposed to use short burst of damage instead of contiguous one? I don't really see a problem is working as intended

Yes but considering Q and W cost a lot to begin with using her E costs a ton of energy for very little use. Before it was barely worth the use because it procd Q but now it does almost nothing

ehhh... akali cost are actually on the lower side of the spectrum, excluding lee sin that has a flat 50 energy for every ability the other 2 energy users pay heavily for their abilities. Shen and kennen both have a 100 energy cost on their E making impossible for them to use full use of their kit in quick succession, both have a way to regenerate energy if they were to hit someone but it forces them to initiate with said abilities if they even plan on using them. If anything her E is there to give her some extra damages between her R dashes (that uses no energy at all) so you can secure the kill. The damage is not so low anyway... the base damage is higher than Q and the scaling is identical on AP plus some scaling on AD, it doesn't have the bonus proc damage so is often used as a quick burst of damage when for whatever reason you are out of dashes.
