I'm no Akali fan, but these aren't the changes we need to fix her. Sure you can revert her like most suggest, but you could also do some LOGICAL changes to give opponents more counterplay and agency while keeping the updated kit too. This just feels like gutting akali which will eventually lead to either a revert or some outrageous buffs for akali at a later date to salvage her from the incoming plumet to her winrate.

Camille is basically being forced out of the jg role or made far inferior to other top junglers with her losing the ability to hookshot stun monsters and scuttle. Interesting choice since not that long ago Riot seemed to want MORE champs able to fill in new roles such as jungle.

New essence reaver... about time. Maybe now we'll actually see it used for it's intended purpose rather than for stuff like renekton, riven, and jax to abuse the passive. I say this... as a renekton main.

Spear of shojin. Honestly... essence reaver needs to be removed. Jax is by far the worst offender with this. With e.r. or it's incoming replacement he's basically got a giant window where he's invulnerable to all aa's and taking 75% reduced damage from aoe thanks to his e. And only a 1.5 sec window between his e's during part of which his opponent is likely stunned from the first e. So that leaves about half a sec window where his opponent - assuming they didn't die during jax's first e and the subsequent time where they were stunned - have a chance to stun jax and buy a bit of time to deal damage back to him. Hardly what you could call balanced. The item needs to be removed from the game. As much as I like it on renekton - he does deserve lower cd's on his abilities... closer to the cd riven with 40% cdr enjoys late game - it's unhealthy and removes much counterplay/outplay options for opponents.

Pd is now broken bs. And I imagine many adc's will argue otherwise... until they get into the patch and run into something like trynd, yi, or yasuo living through absurd amounts of burst with the item and killing them. And then they'll admit it's bonkers. Or... just say it needs to be a ranged only item so nasty melee champs can't abuse the item. Late game... we're seriously going to give these guys an anti-burst shield for about 1/3-1/4th of their total hp? Yeah... seems very logical. Now it will be safer for full damage yi or vayne to facecheck a bush than for a braum. Very very dumb change.

Good changes to sion. It's about damn time. Although you also need to fix his q hitbox. The size of his q is already pretty generous... no need to keep rewarding him by letting him "land" his q even when your just outside it's edge.

Irelia... glad for midlane mages having a much better time vs her after the changes go through, but you've also... screwed her vs ap toplaners like vlad, rumble, singed, and kennen with this by making her ability essentially useless vs them. And you've also made it even harder for ad champs toplane and of course anyone blind picking yasuo, talon, or zed mid since she can reduce their burst even more. I guess we'll see how this one plays out.
