Akali ideas?

Just some random ideas, thought I would throw it out here for fun:

Passive: Assassin's Mark

Akali's basic abilities Mark opponents for up to 6 seconds. Marks can be proc'd by Akali's auto attacks and deal X bonus magic damage (based on level) scaling with Ability power. Also restores 20 energy. The mark has an additional effect based on what skill created the mark:

Q: Mark of the Apothecary (red)- procing this Mark heals Akali. Has greater effect when proc'd on champions or epic monsters. Healing scales with bonus AD.

W: Mark of Shadow (blue)- procing this Mark will blind the target (think Quinn), duration will scale with AP to a cap. This effect does not apply to minions or monsters.

E: Mark of Destruction (green)- procing this Mark procs the Mark damage on all targets with this Mark. Energy restore only procs on target of AA.

A target may only be affected by one Mark at a time. The most recent Mark takes priority. After a Mark has been proc'd, a target may not be marked again for a short duration.

Q: linear skill shot that deals damage and marks th first target hit. Akali gains MS (scaling with rank) when moving towards a target marked by this skill. Damage scales with AP, projectile speed scales with arm strength (bonus AD) :-P

W: Shroud target area, slowing and marking targets in the area. The slow lingers for 1 second after leaving the shroud. While within the shrouded area, Akali is invisible. The invisibility will last for 1.1 to 1.5 seconds after leaving the shroud but ends immediately if she attacks or activates a skill (like normal). When the invisibility ends, Akali gains a brief burst of move speed for .5 seconds. The amount of speed gained scales with AP.

E: Like live, but with a slightly longer cooldown, damages and marks all targets hit.

R: Still a point and click dash, low damage. Needs either a low cooldown or a slight delay between charges. Refreshes Mark timer on target dashed to.

Passive: Akali deals bonus magic damage on her AAs scaling with AP and Bonus AD.

Feel free to discuss, just felt like sharing since she will probably get updated eventually. Left hard numbers out on purpose. Peace

I have no real ideas for Akali but it doesn't seem very cohesive when you can only use 1 mark and are basically locked out of your other abilities since they can't be marked again. The kit should feel good to use together, not punish you.

Only added the short cooldown since ALL of her abilities can Mark now. Multiple Mark procs will be deadlier and is hence tied to her ultimate refreshing proc cooldown.

But yeah, I get what ya mean.

Did Riot say anything about changing Akali? Cause it seems they're fine with how her gameplay is. Not sure about her winrate, but I still win games with her in Gold.

Since the vision update less than a year ago, and the passive update/tweak they said they were happy with how she turned out.

Eh. Durring assassin update they mentioned her needing a full vgu, but we're going to give her some small changes till then.

She obviously isn't high priority, but I thought I'd just share a random idea for fun, making marks a bigger part of the kit

They have mentioned numerous times Akali is one of the high priority champs for a VGU. The assassin update was there to give something to Akali in the meanwhile until her VGU comes. reav3 has also mentioned roster updates don't move champs down in priority for a VGU.
