Whys riot hate akali?

Why is riot so die hard on killing this champion? Hard nerfs then tiny buffs. when has she actually gotten a Nice buff? don't say .1 ap ratio on 1 of her passives is a buff, that's almost nonexistent. (65 damage at full build) (thats if you can proc your second passive in a team fight with Q) (which is hard to do)

6.22 Passive was nerfed to make it a 2 proc trash can,(stupid concept) (revert this back to 6.21!) 6.22 E has a much higher cooldown(Hard nerf, small buff) (small buff being you have to kill something to refund 60% CD) 6.22 R was nerfed by 50% damage, then later buffed 10% (HARD NERF, small buff) (also CD was 2,1.5,1 and is now 2 at all ranks) 6.22 Shroud nerfed with a dumb blink, fixed shroud radius, and has a global CD on all abilites (Hard Nerf) (cant CS properly anymore) (going top lane boys)

will she ever get actual buffs? no? cause riot just hates this champion. its hard enough to get to 6 without being raped by enemy laner, the thing with her is that people complain her 6 is her power spike... her R does the equivalent of a nonpassive AA (60 damage)

Riot is fatally wounding her and throwing her a towel and saying "Good luck!" because in this meta shes not good, your not making her an assassin, your making her a tank, we have to build either item 3116 or item 3151 to even be a thing in the game. assassin, not tank. assassins build item 3100 and item 3089 not item 3151 and item 3116 which item 3116 was nerfed last season. like idk, when will AP items get buffs?! the only buff lately on a AP item was item 3102 . and that is CD.

She has no cc whatsoever. (shroud is not a cc, its slow is almost non existent,) so while being an "assassin" shes CC'd to death before she can get a single rotation off. she has to have damage for mid-late game if not... then shes dead before she is even committed to kill a single person.

where was rickless when her 6.22 "small rework" (actually huge as fuck rework) came around? oh, definitely not communicating with the akali mains like Riot promised they would do. nope. Rickless took it on himself with no word of mouth from the mains. nope. just posted in the reddit saying "this is what were doing, deal with it"

So, when is she getting her VGU, when is she getting actual buffs?

In my opinion they are too soft on Akali. She can 3 hit turrets with a full build, and she can take them down in 10 with half of one. It takes another assassin to kill her, and it takes a lot of luck to survive her because she just E's past the tanks and kills the back line before shredding the tanks. She's still way to strong, at least in low elo's, and she kinda needs to be nerfed a bit more

akali is pretty strong imo and she snowballs hard.

You're not playing Akali line right if you're building a lot of ap items, she only needs item 3146, that's it, oh you can farm with your high dmg e under turret ez peasy and go all in lvl 6 because she was absolutely obnoxious to play against who constantly gets triple kills instantly back in the day. her shroud will help your cds, energy, and passive back up, to hide again in it, so you can now live longer while fighting.

You are aware I was in a game with an Akali that could kill our ADC and nearly kill me as a Zac and our Alistar if our Talon didn't get to us quickly enough to burst her down to nothing. If he wasn't there, we couldn't lock her down easily enough and long enough for us to kill her because her E allows her to escape easily, even more so when we knew that if we tried escaping we'd be cut off by their Teemo. It quickly became a game of try and hold the Akali down long enough for our talon to burst her, and argue as you will, if he hadn't gone talon, it would of taken the whole team's focus to take her down.
