This just made me think (part 3)..is Riot finally taking our frustration into account?

While the answer is more less this: It depends on how many complaints about that certain topic.

Riot will revert or change Akali's W. Meddler basically said this: "We're looking at it. Opinion is split internally on whether supporting stealth under towers is the way to go or not. We're doing some experimentation with a set of changes internally right now. Update to follow once those have helped resolve which direction we'll go."

Meddler....here's a little of something. Of course stealth shouldn't also help against turrets! What is the point of true sight then? Even if "obscure"? That mechanic/ability is possibly the most toxic and unhealthiest thing I've ever seen in my life. Just because it looks cool on paper, doesn't mean it will be cool when it comes to life.

We have true sight to counter stealth, and then true stealth to like what...counter the eagle eyes? Like that doesn't even make sense! This is some next level of what happens when an unstoppable force goes against an immovable object.

Now how the change will be is beyond me. But if i had to make the call, i'd go with the revert and have Akali's W be a normal stealth (with the shape of new W of course), still countered by eagle eye turrets. Turrets are supposed to be the eagle eye fortresses that hugging them like a teddy bear is one of the counterplay vs assassins, and Akali's W is like a big disrespectful cheat code since turrets can't attack her.

If turrets are able to reveal but can't attack, is it really a reveal?

What do you think about this?

dont ever suggest that fa* to me. redmercy is so cringe.

I don't care if he's a cringe or not. The topic is that Riot is finally changing Akali's W. Pretend it's someone else on the video like Hashinshin or Scarra or whoever you like.

Turrets reveal.

Pinks/TF Ult/ show her gray like turrets do live. (Neon if playing KDA)

Else show her periodically as a red silhouette like sweeper.

Yeah, except that they won't attack.

Towers? If so no, what I'm saying is this is the effects certain things should have on her shroud that makes sense and is balanced.

Ill be more detailed. I was trying to be concise. Tower fully reveal and attack and allow you to attack.

True sight things that are not towers like, pink wards and TF ult, only reveal a gray silhouette of her that is real time and non-targetable.

Any other items/effects that reveal stealth or camouflage give pulsing red silhouettes of Akali to reveal her position periodically.

The only issue is that Akali's stealth can be revealed from enemy champions anti stealth, but not able to auto attack her except skillshots. However, turrets are supposed to reveal her AND attack her anyway.

Even old Akali W had that mechanic.
