Her new meta is using tank items and that's fine, but whats not fine is that shes not a juggernaut and does that kind of damage. An assassin who is tankier then tahm and can one shot people still? balanced? can we finally nerf her.
DDasani6 votesJust because you have issues with her doesn't mean they will nerf her. She already got hit with a "nerf" sometime back. And plus, she's already weak as it is.

There is viable and then there is op.
darkmatchwaldo2 votesIt's really not OP. I've played it and it has strengths/weaknesses.
ItsCalledALance1 voteseveryone can down vote this all they want (like riot give half a fuck about what we want around here) but they will be nerfing her soon enough.

they downvote because they know its true.
DDasani1 votesShe's rather easy to shutdown tbh. But people will cry about anything :p

Lol no shes not. she goes tank and just destroys you with like one hit.
BeatzBoyFTW1 votesLol no shes not. she goes tank and just destroys you with like one hit.
And you do realize that NONE of her abilities scales with HP.
So technically, all you did is stood there do nothing, while Akali contantly hits you like a punching bag.
WarlockLaw1 votesHave you ever tried to kite a champ with 3 targeted dashes? Tank akali is currently the best build for her as she can still kill squishies with her bases + titanic/steraks as well as duel most tanks effectively with her in built sustain from the ad she bought.
Whether or not this build is op, which I'd argue it is, the precedent Riot has set regarding assassin champs building primarily or exclusively tank is that they aren't allowed. Tank Katarina got nerfed out of existence in a single patch. Tank Ekko now has to build as a bruiser to still effectively kill. Now we have tank Akali; she should go the same way as those two.
BladeSteel3 votesIf you're being destroyed in one hit by a tank akali, you're doing something wrong.
Bultz1 votesIf you're being destroyed in one hit by a tank akali, you're doing something wrong.
I can link some vids of her being Underfed, the other team having tanks and and even Aurelion Sol and they get rekt by her tank set up.
J E B A ł T E D2 votesSo? Where's the video? put it in your official post plz.
BladeSteel2 votesGetting reked isn't Being one shot sorry.
Valderis Vandala1 votesI would like to see those videos as well, please provide links.
DDasani1 votesAnd plus, since she's an AP assassin, she's going to be squishy, have your jungler gank a couple of times for you and BAM! You have her shutdown. Although a good Akali player will find ways to stop the gank xD
CatboyAsbel1 voteswhy are you downvoting this? that bitch has reached bannable status because of all the slow buffs that reached her with preseason and items.
Meep Man1 votesShe isn't tankier than Tahm at all.

She isn't tankier than Tahm at all.
With tank items and her kit she destroys and out does him.
MegaManYYZ1 votesshe has better sustain than Tahm but not tankier.
Icy Hot Shoto1 votesCC fucks Akali, no matter if she's tank or not. And if she shrouds, there's a nice little ward upgrade you can buy. It's called 
. Not only will it show her, but it shows her in a cool way too. If you don't want to buy it or the support doesn't/refuses to then there's another option. 
! Still refusing to buy pink wards? Your own fault unless you're full build.
Also, when she shrouds, depending on who's on your team there may be someone or a few people with a skill(s) that cover the whole area of her shroud or a good portion of it, who can MOVE HER and cause her to be seen or just do something to show/hit her. Those champions are:
Now, shall I explain? Anivia: Q and ult. Annie: W and if she's willing to risk, Tibbers. Brand: W. Cass: Q and W. Cho: Q. Corki: Q. Draven: E. Ekko: Q. Galio: Q and E. Gangplank: Barrels. Gragas: Q, E if willing to risk it, and ult. Graves: Q and W. Janna: Q. Jayce: Cannon Stance E+Q or just Q. Jhin: E. May not be that large, but if she steps on she's slowed and shown. Karma: Ult + Q. Kog: E and ult. Lee Sin: E. Lucian: W. Lux: E. Malz: W. MF: E. Morgana: W. Nami: Q and if willing to risk ult. Nasus: E. Nocturne: Q. Orianna: Q+W. Rumble: Q and ult if willing. Sion: Q, E. Sivir: Q. Soraka: Q, E. Swain: W. Syndra: Q+E or just E. Talon: Q. Trundle: E. TF: ult. Twitch: E. Urgot: E. Veigar: E+W. Vel: Q, W, E. Viktor: W. Xerath: W. Ziggs: W, E. Zyra: Q, ult.
That's a LOT of counter play I'm seeing JUST for her shroud. Let us not forget Leona for full on "screw you stay stunned".

That's a nice speech and all, to bad it's bs and she has been op for many seasons now and it's made much worse by the tank build.
Icy Hot Shoto1 votesI'm not surprised that you COMPLETELY missed the point. Did you even read it? Clearly not. Akali is, in a way, like Master Yi. She can't use her ult if she's stunned or snared and her shroud can easily be countered which I gave many ways how to.
But, trying to explain is impossible when you can't realize that just because it works doesn't mean it's OP.
AkaIihoIic1 votesI have played around 30 matches with my Tankali. Pick Darius, Nautilus or Tahm Kench against her, buy pinks, enjoy how useless she become.

Best regards from us.

Unlike other champs that are a issue no mater what/when they are in the game
