A missing change on Surrender at 20 and Reign of Gaming, since Crescent Slash's tooltip wasn't updated.

So Akali a big nerf this patch 5.2.

Edit: Surrender at 20 now updated with Akali's Crescent Slash change, and it is intended. http://www.surrenderat20.net/2015/01/120-pbe-update.html#comment-1805637260

"Moobeat went and checked with Scarizard about it:"

" For the moment, it's intended. I can ping designers tomorrow for context, but it's listed in our notes."

She needs a complete rework

You shouldn't be using Crescent Slash to proc her mark anyway. You should just auto and then use Crescent Slash after.

I just hope Riot does not go overboard on the Assassin nerfs.

Imaging an Akali vs. Darius, Renekton, Riven, etc. when Akali have to autoattack them to do some damage.

But there is anyother big, big nerf that akali mains will see. The double proc is the strongest thing about akali. The enemy has the Q on him: You go R autoattack Q and E. The combo is much slower now and this alone will make such a big difference... And yes, there is the R change...

"You didn't even need to use E to proc her Q anyway"

So no more crazy insta burst, she actually will have to spend the time to get an AA in during her combo. I am very much pleased by this change :)

I mostly used that to proc mark against jax and teemo :/

All the R range nerf did was make item 3116 her 2nd item instead of item 3157 .

In-fact you can just get a item 3145 then rush a item 3116

Hm, what a good change, Riot should have done this ages ago.

Was so face palm that they added it in the first place.

Im from season 2. And i am qqing. Because the prc with the e was a buff which made akalo gameplay top a lot more viable. Where it matered my skill and not only enemy mistakes

i want it back so badly :c not the same thing to play akali any more.. standard poke combo... weaker... usually just q'd and then walked up to them and e'd them but now you have to actually auto attack wich is just... Amumu item 3070 (and btw R.I.P Revive you don't need to add it back lol)
