Akali I just wanted to throw out and idea for Akali if it hadn't already been considered. I hear a lot of complaint at times over Akali, and I do agree that her shroud calls for less counterplay (for both sides of the matchup). That is, without it, Akali has trouble keeping her assassinations being undermined. With it, the team can barely focus her, and if left unchecked she'll snowball through the game.

That being said, I think I may have come up with a solution for Twilight Shroud. It occurred to me when I remembered reading her Ult one of the many times that I have (hello, avid Akali main here). The description of her Ult, Shadow Dance, it reads: "Akali moves through the shadows to quickly strike her target, dealing damage, and consuming an Essence of Shadow charge. Akali recharges Essence of Shadow charged both periodically and upon kills/assists, max 3 stacks."

What if the words were more than just description? What if she actually moved through the shadows.

I propose that her R be remade, and her W removed and bargained for another spell (what the spell would be, I have no clue). What if, instead, her R did this:

"Akali moves through the shadows, becoming stealthed for (1/1.5/2) seconds and striking her target (Her dash will not reveal her, but her other spells will), dealing damage, and consuming an Essence of Shadow charge as well as X/X/X% movement speed. Akali Recharges Essence of Shadow charged both periodically, and upon Kills/assists, max 3 stacks."

This shifts her focus of engaging with shroud, and makes her able to -CHOOSE- between all-inning, or if she makes a mistake, it wont punish her too hard. Not only this, but it makes it easier for her to be focused as well, because no matter where she is, her stealth will always be on top of the target.

I have no idea what to do for the W, but I imagine it could be some sort of utility/damage based spell. Who knows. Good luck tho. Please upvote so rito can consider!
