so when are these akali nerfs coming riot

She's a design disaster from back when all champions had incredibly simple, DoTA-esque designs. She needs the Azir/Yorick/Poppy treatment where she's dumpstered to the point of being unplayable until her eventual rework.

The only accounts in Challenger that have Akali as #1 played are TF Blade's account. Currently no one else has played Akali in challenger for over 10 games.

There's also a Karthus main in challenger, but this doesn't mean that Karthus is OP.

So what? Viper was in the top 10 since forever and ever (last I checked he was top 6), why aren't all the other high elo let's say Riven players in top 10 then? Logic much?

Professor Akali would like a word with you.

Compared to TF he is garbage.

You're replying to an 8 months old thread, wth is wrong with you?

i do, all reworks completely change a character. Current Akali and Diana will die. Then a new Akali and Diana will rise from the ashes, to be more of a balance nightmare than their previous selves ever could.

Which is why now i'm trying to main Eve mostly. As a new reworked character, she will not be changed to heavily in the next years. She might get nerfs and buffs over time, but won't get changed so hard that it changes the playstyle or becomes an entirely different hero.

I'm still of the opinion that current Akali is very balanced. The concept of "assassin go in, and then go out easily" is by default flawed from riot. If I, as an assassin can go, kill you, and then escape for no cost what so ever. I'm either overpowered and perma banned, or underpowered and quite weak. Which is why rengar, nocturne, akali, diana are quite shining examples of assassins. If I do assassinate a target that is not alone, escaping the situation should not come as easy as pressing a button and get teleported back 1000 units (yes, this sounds quite hypocritical since i'm spamming Eve, but Eve has to work to get to her targets due to lack of a proper gap closer). Because if assassins can be murdered as 'payment' or have a high chance of dying as a result for their assassination, then they are as they should be a 'high risk' - 'high reward' class.

Not....... low risk, high reward, or we can call that Zed, Leblank and Kassadin meta.

All her skills are non skill shot and for you to say shes not broken is funny as fk Akali was one of the 3 toxic cancerous champion back from 1-4 season because of her mobility and damage. At least these generation of new player doesn't have to deal with her Q procing on E rather then a auto attack which at least gives us SMALL opening to react to.

Toxic =/= broken my friend.

And what are her weaknesses after lvl 6? let me guess ,pink ward and hard cc?

No not really. There are about 4 things that you can do.

1. Pick a Lanebully and call your jungle for an early gank. Set her behind early and she won't hit as hard once she is 6. Also if you are AD pick up an early hexdrinker.

2. Pick a Tank and stall. Explains itself.

3. Make her waste her Shroud. Unless she is overly fed you can fuck her up really good without her W.

4. Don't make stupid mistakes. Akali lives off people who position like idiots and make tons of mistakes. Heck everytime I see someone walking up too close I punish the hell out of them.

Hard CC works vs. anything that isn't Irelia with Mercs., Pinks do not work vs. her W and that is good, because it is stationary. Shaco, Kha etc. can move while invisible, they can sneak up. Akali can't she has to either fully commit and nuke or she dies.

Nothing on the PBE about that. Unless you consider all the resolve trees having their HP reduced by 65 a Vayne nerf.
