On the upcoming Akali rework will you leave her ult with 3 dashes and also the resets? That is the most fun part of akali and really fits her theme as a sticky assassin. Also can she pls keep her sustain? It really makes her different from other champions in her class and allows for some really fun moments. Just watch Voyboy's stream to see what i mean. Furthermore it doesn't impact laning phase at all so it is way less toxic than a nasus or vlad. I dont really care about the rest of her kit. The shroud is unique sure, but with everything being a skillshot or aoe or a skillshot these days it is borderline useless so i think some changes are needed, although it can pruduce some fun outplays every once in a while. Her e is quite bland and her q feels quite clunky without the e interaction.

I have about 71k mastery points on akali, but thats nothing compared to some other akali mains so feel free to offer input/criticism.

What? Her sustain is more reliable than Nasus sustain and in some situations, even Vlad's sustain is less reliable than hers. Why? If you got an aggressive laner that is pushing you to tower, you can just shroud and then heal with sustain. With Vlad, he can't do that. He will be poked continuously even under turret. So yes, it does impact laning phase. In my opinion, laning phase should be the only phase that sustain impacts, but I digress.

Honestly, they need to change the mechanics OR nerf her damage. Her scaling on her Q is nearly 90% which is enormous even though she is an assassin. Her E scaling is at ~ 50% AP if you combine the AD and AP scaling and estimate it based on AP scaling.

Finally, her ult basically has a 150% AP scaling and deals 300/ 525/ 750 BASE damage because each of the 3 charges scales at 50% AP. She is ridiculous powerful as an assassin. Even more so than a Katarina. So in total, her kit has nearly 300% AP scaling total. This does not even include the on hit damage bonus she gains from her passive that while is AD damage, is increased by her AP. At least with Katarina, you have a chance of escape. With Akali, if she has all 3 charges, you're pretty much dead.
