RIOT GAMES AT ITS BEST

Riot games at their best AGAIN with an insanely good rework! If you are a person with 50+ IQ, you will be banning that champion until this idie company learns the meaning of the word "balance". If you are under 50 IQ then you must be an akali main and I'm sorry for that :/

Yeah when people bring this up I laugh at them, it's really dumb.

Also thanks for being probably the only Rioter brave enough to put this, sometimes it seems like Rioters are afraid to roast people with logic. <3

So he won't be able to go back at his target after using E from any place on the map?

DrCyanide3 votes

He'd have to get to "any place on the map" before the mark runs off. So realistically, no. The worst that could happen would probably be Akali getting out on a Ryze ult, then activating it again and going back in... But if you're leaving like that then you're likely making a mistake going back in.

I'm not asking if he can get to any place on the map, I'm asking if Akali is able to go back on her targets, regardless of how far they run away from her.

Assuming it's the same as with Lee Sin then yes, as long as her mark doesn't expire

Aaaaand no1 sees anything wrong with that interaction? xD I mean, it means I can E some random champ a second before he tp's from top to bot, and reactivate it to follow them across the entire map.

Not broken at all ahahaha

Not really because it's conditional, based on if she can land a skillshot. Same with Lee Sin. IIRC if you time it right you can follow people as Yi too without hitting a skill shot

Bijeesny1 votes

Lee Sin has a limited range, so he can't interact with champs who tp-s across the fucking map (if he dashes towards them he stops?), unlike Akali who can mark a champ with E moment before he tp-s on bot, and follow him a second later.

I don't think Yi can follow some1 who tp's even if he times it right. I remeber I saw that interaction in the past, and he would just land on place where he started to Q. And unlike Akali, Yi's Q is his only ability for dodging crucial skillshots, his only dmg ability (E and R are just dmg buffs) and he spends mana with it.

only that when you arrive afterwards, the fight is already over and you will most likely stand in 3 enemies

... Have you ever had a Vi in your game?

So broken, right?

This can happen in a regular game if it the timing is perfect, but what of it? 90% of the time it'll be Akali following them through their recall into the fountain and giving over a kill.

Bijeesny1 votes

But that spell is Vi's ULTIMATE ABILITY, while Akali's is REGULAR SPELL, and Vi has a LIMITED RANGE of casting it, while spending mana with it, while Akali DOESN'T HAVE LIMITED RANGE of recasting it, and she DOESN'T USE MANA.

And don't bring me arguments that other champs can do it, cuz other champ's abilities like Akali's are either ults or crucial spells which they can rarely use as Akali.

DrCyanide3 votes

Akali has a limited range of casting her E, it's not a global.

The only thing it being a regular spell means is that there's a higher chance of Akali following someone's recall into their fountain than Vi. That's it. OP for Intentionally Feeding maybe, but otherwise it's an interaction that won't come up.

"But my mana!" doesn't factor into this at all.

Bijeesny1 votes

Mate, I'm talking about her recast, is the recast limited by range?

And another thing that I didn't mention is that Vi's ult, during the cast, does no damage, only when it connects to her target, which is why she has that interaction with recalling targets. Now I'm not 100% sure but Akali's E does some damage right? If yes, then I don't think she can have that interaction as Vi.

DrCyanide1 votes

You can slip damage into the last ~0.25s of a recall without cancelling it. Thus Akali's interaction is the same as VI's.

warwick q does the exact same thing, following dashs, flashs and tp.

Decrit2 votes

i mean, why you see it as a problem? lee sin had it for years.

She has to use a skillshot that is dodgeable and missable and only if she hits she can dash to the target. If she misses the shuriken not only she does not proc the passive effect but she also gets more far from the target, actually tampering her capacity to kill

I mean, yeah, the dash is impressive once connects, but it is not a big deal. You have to get close to do it and i would probably never risk a dodge so far if i don't have vision of my enemy in the sorroundings. If anything they might need to shorten the shuriken range or decrease its speed, but that's it.

yea that is why your playerbase is so angry at you guys. you see nothing wrong here? an assassin that has to hit a standard skillshot and then can jump right next to you, no matter where you are? if you are an adc and akali got gunblade + lichbane, as soon as her e ends, you might aswell just stand up and go take a piss because you'll be dead anyways.

but youre right. nothing wrong here. lets point out he is in practice tool. not the global e mobility and the insane dmg she will have.

It takes her six months to get back to her target. The only way that's a useful mechanic is if you attack someone who teleported away. Which Vi can also do!

Arammus3 votes

six months in which she is still faster than any other champ. also only six months if its across the entire map, which it rarely is.

the only thing that need to be done, if they want to keep this interaction, is making sure that the little shuriken above your head (who appear if akali dash on you) stay there for all the travel time. (would like to see the cam on the target to know if it stay or not)

In Vi case, there is the big line warning you that she will arrive (with the direction) so you can count on that when teamfighting For akali, while the shurikken is there, he seems to last 1 s at best so in the middle of a fight where she is supposed to be elsewhere on the map, forcing you to focus on 2 area at the same time to be sure she press E or not during the allowed time (3 s for recast?) is a bit to much.

You can also argue that giving her a free tp on a non ultimate abilty should come with improve clarity for the opposite side

DrCyanide2 votes

How is this going to happen in a normal game? Akali accidently getting onto a Ryze ult then dashing back? Her accidently clicking a Bard portal?

If Akali could kill you by following her E then she'll just follow the E right then and there. There's no need for an elaborate wind up dash, it's not like it deals damage based on distance traveled.

ok... tell me what would be any different from any other skill that does the exact same thing? (like Lee's Q?) or any mobility skill that requires you to land a skillshot first? you seem very salty for something that you haven't even played as and have no idea how much damage it'll do. Love how people instantly come up to random conclusions every single time with no proof or anything other than "I really want this to be broken so I can be right!"

SugeMinPikk2 votes

He's demonstrating the infinite range and distance of the dash, which is questionable. Even lee's Q stops following after a certain distance.. Imagine all the inevitable Akali highlights where they try to stop a back in a bush, then fly to spawn..

You are pretty special. He's using practice tool teleport LMAO

Except if you have faced the old akali you know this is way better. Her old ult was point and click free kite, now it’s flat dash. Way better.

This thing will never ever happen during a live game. I can do the same as Draven and make his axes roll forever and call it broken

This definitely happens very often in live games
