Akali as much as I hate to say this as someone who used to main in her back in the day needs a nerf in some form, idk how riot can balance her, but right now she is not. Shes able to build way to tanky and still output way to high of dmg for building such health and not having to build damage. That mixed with the sheer amount of spell vamp make her complete imbalanced at this point as shes still able to nuke carries and then sit there and duke it out w/ the big boys and come out on top. Was able to dominate her early but then by mid game had gotten 2 items and was damn near unkillable then after 3rd was unkillable unless all 5 collapsed on her. Im not saying make her not vialbe, simply tweak her back b/c a champ shouldn't be able to build health sacrificing dmg and still output more dmg than anyone else in game.

http://champion.gg/champion/Akali Her pick rate is very low and her win rate is 50%. That is indicative of a balanced champion.

In my matches I have not seen Akali do well, the tank build is a joke given that her burst becomes mediocre-bad and she has zero utility. Just pink the spears, bro.

When a Champion is dealing too much damage for too little stat investment it's a simple matter to rectify. All you do is lower their base damage and raise their scaling, that way their effective power stays in a similar position as before except now it's locked behind stats that you were previously neglecting in favor of just getting by with the base values. This isn't actually a problem for Akali though (or Ekko, who is in a similar position), the actual problem comes from AP being very bad right now and so she has very little inclination to build it when she can just use the much stronger tank itemization instead. When Riot fixes AP itemization our little burst assassins will come crawling back.

I dont even feel like her tank build makes her good? She is still pretty meh.
