Akali's Voice
Doesn't sound like a ninja at all TBH.
Sounds a lot more like somebody with daddy issues between the ages of 14-18. Half the time what she says is completely and totally negligible.
"Magic is fine. Steel is better." Okay? I guess . . .?
I do like the new Akali and how she plays but jesus the voice. THE VOICE. It's like the people who worked on Akali's visual / auditory palette of Akali didn't even know what she did or how she acts. It's like Riot went to Freelancer.com and hired somebody that didn't even know who the champion was to re-create her voice and personality.

It's like the Titans trailer. These fucking Monsters turned Robin into a character destruction. It's like writing Superman going on a killing spree during his Sunday Golf Sessions.
Old Akali
"Understood."
"Whatevers Necessary."
"Hesitation is the seed of defeat."
New Akali
"They can't stop me. They can try."
"I can make this fast. Or really fast. Choice is yours."
"Oh look, someones got a death wish."
"If they're smart, they're scared."
"Could steel and a target are all I need."
So I guess I'm just wondering . . . if you aren't going to keep the champions personality, why not just make it a new champion? Couldn't Akali have been a new champion instead of a re-work? Hell, the old Akali was all about honor and doing things as a step in a system of Ninja. Now all of the sudden she's like "Fuck Batman. Er. I mean. Shen."
"The old way just don't work."
Gameplay: 10/10 Voice: Preppy Bitch Character symmetry: 0/100, completely different person than previous Akali
