Why is Akali getting nerfed over and over again

I know that some bad players are getting destroyed by Akali even now, after nerfs but why do they nerf her when she already has 46% win rate? She has now no sustain if she doesn't go fleet footwork, she has no safe tower dive and w has too long cooldown rn. And now they are nerfing her burst. Wtf rito? Rengar is one-shoting tanks and you are nerfing my little Akali? Why?

She's overpowered in pro play

She has now no sustain if she doesn't go fleet footwork;

Neither do other assassins

She has no safe tower dive

Tower dive and safe in the same sentence, it used to be problematic before they fixed it.

and w has too long cooldown rn.

100% justified, one of the most potent defensive tools in the game

And now they are nerfing her burst. Wtf rito? Rengar is one-shoting tanks and you are nerfing my little Akali? Why?

It's fun to have like half your HP or more chunked by 2 Qs and 2 procs of her passive lv 1.

Rengar ain't 1 shotting tanks, just squishies.

It is the old poppy philosophy. Keeping nerfing her until she sees no play and wait for someone to rework her. The current iteration is a failure and the best the balance team can do at this point is to make sure no one plays her.

Because she is cancerous and dictates EVERYTHING in the lane.

Because assasins have no counter play.

Because she is OP in the hands of people that know how to play her. You seen Theshy on her? xD Or faker or even Capsie and Jensen?

Why not nerf her? One single misstep and she 100-0 you. It's stupid that dive mechanism.

Shes too safe and has control over how she wants the fight to go.

Cause they think she’s way to OP.I am Main Akali, and this new nerf is very...stupid, cause R has to require an target and W is not the same anymore. Her Q now requires a lot more energy at start (125 energy to be exact) and Riot please give our Akali back.

I have a 59% win rate on Akali currently at Plat 1. Akali is still a very viable champion if played properly, and the nerfs are something that we can adapt to. But, it is pretty annoying to get better at playing Akali, only for her to get nerfed over and over and over and over again. It feels like every time you get better at the champion, the nerf bat happens, and so you're tanking again.

Can they just nerf her to oblivion once and for all? That way we stop being on this shitty rollercoaster ride that's been happening for almost a year now.
