Assassin Roster Update - Katrina & Akali Direction?

I'm really hoping that Katrina or Akali are both major reworks in the upcoming assassin update. Why? Resets that's why. Both are very boring until level 6 at which point they seemed to be designed to blow up whole teams. Everyone has been in a game when Kat or Akali has been fed and it feels like no matter where you are you will die in a blink of an eye. Even Akali tank top has enough damage to blow up whole teams. These areas seem to be ones that they are trying to fix i.e. little counter play, less assassin more team bomb, and can feel very oppressing to play against.

I'm also wondering why Khazix has barely been mentioned as a possible assassin update champion? Although I think my issues with Khazix is purely based on Renagar feeling like a stronger champion in a 1v1. Which will may be fixed when Rengar is reworked.

Thoughts?

Shut the fuck up. Akali is not boring. And doesn't need a rework. This is coming from the one trick pony himself. It's your fault for not harassing her pre 6. As its easy to do. After your fucked till about lvl 14. Then she HAS to get picks. She's balanced. Trust me.

If they remove katarina's resets then she will become like poppy and mordekaiser. Where every main just up and leaves.

Katarina's sole identity as the sinister blade is to capitalize on weak enemies and utilizing resets. I highly doubt her passive will change too dramatically. Akali, on the other hand will get completely redone because riot has stated she is quite bland and like most other assassins.
