Fam, the Akali rework is actually trash

I used to play a bit of the old . I know she was inted to be an "assassin that goes in and out of battles" but in reality, you 0-100, all-in your enemies lvl 6 and blow 'em up. This is in consideration if your enemies are squishy. If they're a bit beefy, you would use a full rotation of spells and shroud to wait for their cooldowns. It is highly undersrtandable why Riot reworked her. Laning phase mostly includes praying to not get shat on pre-levlel 6. Riot certainly tried their best unlike Aatrox though. But they turned her into something she just isn't. There are huge down-sides to her kit. Like her passive, while sure its pretty close when you use Q maxed ranged. The reworked akali combo puts her E before her Q and therefore shortest ranged and walking back a mile just to get your passive. As a champion itself it was good, but when you draw similarities there are very few compared to the old one we all know and love.
