Akali Needs A Nerf..... At Least A Small One......

Akali So I bet a lot of people know how op Akali is. She is super strong with the ability to delete tanks easily and squishies with less that 1/4Th the effort. My point here isn't that Akali is super strong, impossible to kill or anything around those lines. Before level 6 she is not really strong and can be easily killed if she messes up, after six and Hextech is when she is strong.

Now i bet you are thinking "Yeah, yeah whatever get to the point". So here is my argument. Akali is easily shut down and made useless before six if done right. Now I'm no genius, but I'm pretty sure that champions that are locked down before six don't have great late games. Unless they are tanks, since tank build is less expensive, but Akali goes from being completely locked down to completely deleting 3 teammates in less than twenty seconds. I know she is an assassin and that is what she does, but honestly i feel like that is some completely aggravating and messed up gameplay.

Especially since it later leads to the enemy team winning even though you had a 6K gold advantage. [zombie-brand-mindblown]

Yeah i know how to play against her, as for this is a team game, she ends up fed because someone else doesn't know how to play against her.

She definitely needs a rework because her kit is either far too strong or far too weak, but not a nerf.

I was thinking a bit more on the lines of adding more cast time between each of her ults, or maybe reducing the amount of life she gets back. I'm talking maybe adding a bit more time to counterplay her or reduce that which makes her somewhat "unkillable" later. A rework would be nice but as far as reworks go right now they buff the champion even more, examples: Taric, Brand, Malzahar, i think you get the point. Or maybe they could even out her early with her late instead of letting her have a 0 to 100 spike at level 6.

Pinkwards are making akali a camp that you can farm every 40 seconds when she is back on lane btw.

Yeah, but the problem here is that after level 6 pink wards are basically useless, since she deletes you in like less than a second. Sure before 6 that is how you play against her and its easy to lock her down but after no wards can save you.

Nope she doesnt, her burst actually needs more time then the burst of other assasins. Git gud.

Akali is SO HOT1 votes

It's funny because ADCs are the ones deleting enemies with almost Assassin level damage from 550 range. But let's blame the melee champion that has to go into the middle of your team to kill your carries with no defensive mechanism.

Yes, adc's also delete other champions but most don't have the kit to hurdle at three enemies, kill them all and still be full health. I mean unless they are exceptionally good at kiting and have lifesteal. (AKA Requiring skill and Hardcore mechanical maneuvering)
