Akali nerf on patch 9.17 is very bad to her

The nerf coming to on patch 9.17 will impact her a lot. This nerf ( AP ratio on her Q - Five Point Strike - was reduced from 0.6 to 0.4 ) makes her early damage very weak and her wave clear bad. This will make her winrate go down again on low elo even though pro players will still be good but now will have much more difficulty in some matchups. I suggest making her Q's AP ratio 0.5 ( or revert it ) or making another ability stronger to compensate the nerf on her most important tool ( like making her passive's AP ratio and AD ratio 0.65 or making the cooldown on her R or E lower ). In my opinion this changes i suggested would solve things but I know some other people will have different opinions because I love this champion and some people hate it.

Maybe if the character wasn't so fundamentally busted she could be abused regardless of the nerfs she receives...She's constantly banned in pro play for that reason.

Man, I feel so sorry for Akali mains. Everyone telling you your champ is broken while her winrate's in the gutter. Can't be fun!!

I mean, her Q does seem to do an unnecessary amount of damage for how easy it is to hit.

I think a W or E cooldown nerf or just a nerf to her shroud duration would be more a more appropriate fix.

Akali's kit is just a fail, shes another 0-15 or 15-0 champion and frustrating af to play against on top of it.

Nerf was delayed till 9.18 along with Aatrox so they could do more work.

Might not have these problems if she wasn't ready to be overtuned as hell at any given moment.

Rito your pushing the boundaries with akali mains. Too many nerfs shes good now. A small nerf to cooldowns would be sufficient...

Maybe we have had different experiences but Akali's problem isn't any of her stats, its her oppressive and safe early game in top lane with how easily she uses grasp of the undying. So all of these nerfs are in the wrong place so that once that finally nerf that aspect she will be far too weak

Honesty, I Main her, and yes... Im a bronze. But was playing aganist diamonds recently and she is just as OP as she was. All you need to do is to use brain while pressing R. I was almost crying when I saw they nerfed her, but for no reason. Still strong. Akali

Just gut akali forever, her kit is way too toxic and broken. She is just badly designed.
