DIdn't they already do this? Nerf Akali and then buff her up right after so nerfs don't mean anything? Can't they just gut her and leave it to rot like they did to champs in the good old days? This champ honestly just offers nothing to the game, it's just an assassin with DPS (lol!) and a lot of safety to boot, no CC, no utility, nigh unavoidable damage.

Glad to see Riot favoritism in action, Akali and Yuumi aren't allowed to be C tier for even a day. Meanwhile champs like Udyr have been unplayable F- Tier for months and can't even get a buff during a normal patch.

Normal man here. Gut her Q and passive damage, she is balanced. She can still scale them up with items but until then-useless.

Oh noes! They are buffing a champion who was sub 40% winrate! The horror! Such favoritism!

R cooldown probably souldnt go down much less by F O U R T Y seconds but whatever, Akali needed buffed since she was garbage before getting gutted anyway.

Yuumi buffs are interesting and fair. Akali's level 11 spike is fuckin massive though

Are people downvoting this thinking you made the buffs?

She doesn't need damage buffs lmao. The ult CD decrease is great and all, but why are they hard buffing the damage R1 deals?

Why aren't they y'know...FIXING THE DASH SPEED AND DISTANCE ON R1, as opposed to buffing the damage it deals.

Why also are they buffing E's damage and not adjusting Q? I have so many questions...

These buffs, for the most part, are stupid, with the one exception being the cooldown decrease.

Akali must be killed with fire. Nuke it from orbit then gather her glassed remains, load her into a rocket and fire her into the sun, then collapse the sun into a black hole.

Wait a few months while her playrate stay below 1% then and only then start very gradually buffing her back up without buffing her Q in any way.

Thank GOD Akali's nerfed R was actually so disgustingly bad with the pathetic damage and insane CD. This is a good rework. Thanks Riot :)

Great, just great

Imagine not nerfing akali for a whole year after her rework. Then doing insignificant nerfs and removing parts of her kit like the microstun which was actually a neat part of the kit. Do 1 actual real nerf finally and hotfixed buffed 24 hours later. 10/10 . Great job. If anybody wants to see what favoritism looks like check the main page for league of legends and tell me which champion u see:)
