Remove Akali Q Slow.

Why can't Akali be more like Katarina? Kat has no cc so why should Akali?

I believe that the stun on the first R is balanced and fair. BUT, the Q slow is just too much for her in the top lane, where she mainly faces melee champions. In lower elo, junglers are usually horrific. There's no coming back from a fed Akali with megaslow because of her Q + Hextech Gunblade in this low elo. Akali already gets movement speed in her W. There's no reason to let her slow the enemy champion with an ability that absolutely cannot be dodged. It may seem like a teeny weeny slow, but I KNOW you have faced an Akali and gotten cucked by that megaslow.

Early game mage, late game annoying ass assassin.

League of Legends players are right. Riot just likes seeing who can one-shot the other person faster. Make League Great Again!

Katarina doesn't have CC because she has much more mobility (with tons of resets) and AoE.

Akali has one because in order for her passive to work, she has to move away and then back into a decently sized area around an enemy.

If you remove that slow, then you have to buff up the damage in her abilities to make up for her passive becoming a non-factor. This in turn means that a fed Akali has a much high potential to one-shot enemy squishies, as she doesn't need to use her passive for the bulk of her damage.

Remove Akali's smoke period, or make it last way shorter

oh boy, the silver 3 shen player who can't manage to average more than 5 cs a minute wants to nerf the characters power-gate with no reasonable alternative nor apparent understanding of the character.

Oh boy the piss-easy irelia main wants to bitch about me wanting a nerf for a garbage OP character. Why don't you fuck off you ez meta-abusing garbage. Shen has always csed slow.

Maybe if they gave him an attack speed buff or a fucking ranged poke it would be easier to farm, but no you get fucked by minion bloc and other top laners with ranged pokes. Every engage with shen is almost surefire death anymore. Come back when you have a less easy champion you shit stain.

old akali had AOE slow new akali gained nothing except true invisibility and in exchange had reduced damage and reduced mobility if they didn't keep her slow somewhere it wouldn't have made sense

also she's receiving a BIG DAMAGE NERF on ult on both cast so she will be fine

Why can't Akali be more like Katarina, in the fucking dumpster lmao.

In the dumpster for the early game and the Pentakill machine in the late game if you know how to play her.

Heeellll no. Kat's teamfighting is garbage outside of Bronze-Gold elo. Pentakill machine? More like kill one target and then have your delays catch up to you machine.

I'd be happier with a nerf on it by 5-10%. It feels good to have this mechanic, even if I don't play Akali.
