Akali shroud balancing

TurboTax com··3 votes·1,539 views

The thing I find the most frustrating about the ability is the obscured vision mechanic which I think many could agree with. It is simply too powerful of a mechanic to have available during the early game. So I thought about scaling the ability with time through out the pace of the game.

So during the early game while all towers are up that's the most amount of vision your team has all game. During this stage in the game True Sight on all towers would reveal Akali during the entire up time while within range of an enemy tower. Once an outer tower of a lane is destroyed the tier 2 turret of that lane will only reveal Akali after a 2.5 second delay. Finally once the tier 2 tower of that lane she happens to be cheesing at is destroyed, the tier 3 towers would no longer reveal her at all and shroud would work exactly as it does currently. A simpler method but faster way to scale shroud would be to have true sight be impacted the same way but globally once A single tier 1 or 2 tower is destroyed instead of it being based on # of towers in a particular lane.

All of which only makes sense because less towers=less vision taps head

Or you could just walk away from the very clearly defined small area that she has control of.

"SMALL"??

what is wrong with you. it's HUGE. It's practically the entire width of midlane.

Would you rather be playing against Pyke?

Lmfao, yes. All of pyke's skills have delays built in (besides W), and he's way easier to pin down especially if he tries to use E offensively and can easily die in the duration of 1 cc.

Downvoted because you actually don't know what are you talking about.

I would agree with that but her early game is so shitty that she actually needs the shroud. Healing and damage on Q isn't reliant without gunblade, her e should be used more of an escape tool cuz you could be getting ganked and w is mainly to restore energy and avoid poke. After 6 she gets more dangerous but still if you keep her on less than half health she wont do anything. I dont get whats the problem with akali ist. Yeah her shroud super annyoing but cc her once, deny cs, keep her poked on low health and she's gonna cry in the corner and will be useless the whole game. There are other assassins that are mor unfair to play against.
