@Riot: Is Akali on your rework radar?

I used to object to all the Akali QQ that went around, because I used to main her, but since I no longer play her that often, my bias has dissipated, and I realize just how toxic her playstyle is to the game. There is basically no way to shut her down once she gets going simply because of the way her ult works. She just outstats you and you die. There is no room to outplay her, and all the room for her to outplay you. It just makes facing her such a dull experience. If you get in her range, you will probably die, and if you stay out of it, you do nothing.

Do you have any plans to do anything about this?

Don't down-vote him too much, he has a point. Lets be completely real here, most of the times a player picks akali is because the other team lacks the cc to shut her down. When you are mid lane, and you pick a champ without hard cc, what are you gonna do? Build cc?

So, because she has to press r 3 times instead of once means she has less burst? I fail to see how having an ult that stacks 3 charges is bad. Also, I would seriously hope any champion's burst requires more than one "button press". But, everyone fails to mention that while bursting you akali has extremely high lifesteal after just one core item, so good luck bursting someone who bursts you while healing herself.

She had such a lead until i joined the fights with my upgraded red trinket. I always died at the end of the team fights, but we came out on top.

Confirmed Upgraded Red trinket counters akali
