Oh no, an 11% increase on the base attack speed of a champion that doesn't scale with attack speed, doesn't build it, and has a shitty one to begin with. The champion is busted again, bois. /s

Did you not see that they also nerfed Ravenous Hunter? That's a pretty big deal to Akali.

it's people like this that does not help balance to be better at all

people have no idea how having the worst attack speed in the game makes you trash at trading, while having around top tier attack speed with decent base ad actually gives you decent trading FOR NO FUCKING REASONS I do not see any reason to why we should make akali good at trading.

this is so stupid. the champion does not need a buff right now

not at all any champion can switch any ravenous hunter rune, they're all strong especially the relentless hunter one on assassins

Akali is already fantastic at trading. Her spammable Q lets her get easy damage on her enemies. A tiny buff to her attack speed is pretty negligible considering that the majority of her damage isn't coming from how quickly she can attack, but the burst of her rotation.

theyre also apparently trying to buff dorans shield which is a pretty big deal to akali.

one of the strongest champs in the game getting buffed again like 2 days after she got nerfed is stupid no matter what. Meanwhile another mid lane assassin with 0% presence in almost 120 worlds games is fine riot? Fizz xd

i have no idea how such logic can exist

Akali's attack speed is pretty important consider her passive revolves around getting multiple autos off

Yeah, but it's only really helpful to a point.

In the (relatively few) Akali games I've had since her rework, I've had maybe once or twice my passive AA was delayed because of my AS being too low.

Mostly this is just a buff to her wave clear for that period of time when her Q isn't quite enough to clear casters by itself.

The Riot favoritism at it's finest. As long as your champion is fan service it's safe from getting gutted like it deserves to.

well, this buff is fine

Kai'sa and Akali nerfs had an impact on their skins sale, unlucky

DuskDaUmbreonNov 9, 20181 votes

Dude.

It's .069 extra AS. On someone who barely has any kind of scaling at all with AS.

This is hardly game-breaking buffs. It's not even .1 fucking AS. On an assassin.

Yes it is especially for melee toplane. It immensely helps her trading. Just like how maokai literally rightclicks everyone to death in lane because of his retardedly high AS in the game.

And the point is she doesn't need a buff at all. At best she needs a rework at worst massive powershifts.

and highest base ad

DuskDaUmbreonNov 10, 20181 votes

Yes, because her attacking not even one additional time every 10 seconds is going to break her to insanity and render her unfightable, when her only real reason to AA is for her passive procs or to last-hit (either against minions or champions).
