so akali so called got these bullshit nerfs that they know damn well does nothing to her broken shit of not being able to get targeted by anything in smoke and life-steals all her life out of one hit and energy regen broken ass all hell in that smoke. so is riot looking to actually nerfing her and making her to be able to get targeted by towers because right now she doesn't need minions to tower dive and one shot you under your own tower?

Akali is outrageously broken. She doesn't win games tho, she just makes games unbearable, and should be disabled until they do something about her current state.

No, Ornn is literally unstoppable.

She is not.

You are literally lying.

Akali is actually garbage. Pros think she's garbage. Akali players think she's garbage.

So you can't hide under your tower because she can just kill you under it. Congrats so can ... Like, everyone. Yasuo's R is specially coded to keep him outside of tower range so even if youre almost 300 units inside your tower's attack range he's still untargeted by it when he ults you. But thats been fine for 3? 4 years? now. (actually, no its not fine and needs removed.) Xerath exists and doesnt even need to be in the same lane to kill you with any of his spells.

Galio, morg, and Brand can all easily hit Akali in her shroud. She's objectively weak, even after 50+ games her winrate is not as high as it should be. Akali needs to be BUFFED at this point, and pretty much always did need the buffs but just like Zoe, reddit and boards continue complaining about a weak champion 2 months after they cease being anything of an actual problem.

Sure, she'll get a nerf when she's actually deserving of one.

OP dafq are you smoking? Because you are evidently high AF

She has lower than 50% winrate in every single elo out there, she has less than 6% pickrate in any lane in every elo beneth masters+.

Banrate? Yep she is banned a lot, just like Yasou, galio,brand, Zed, nasus and morgana in plati+

The best way to gauge a champions powerlevel is to look at the balance between their winrate, pickrate and banrate and performance in low elo vs high elo.

Is she picked a lot? No, does she win a lot? No, does she have a high banrate? yes, does her stats rise a bit in the highest levels of play? Yes but only a bit.

Conclusion? Currently subpar/average for anyone not in masters+

Demanding nerfs for akali at this point? Might as well ask that sona, bard and Ornn be gutted, ornn especially, have you seen how well he does in proplay?

Ornn had, even before the recent buffs, 83% winrate, P/B in 20+ games........sure Akali was banned more than him, a lot more than him but he did better in the games he played.

You? Asking for nerfs to akali?

With 0 statistics to back you up?

Go take a long deep look into the mirror and ask what qualifications you have to question a riot balance team possessing multiple high diamond/master tier players that have been around since the very start of league.

Doesnt bleeding matter what a vocal group of a hundred says, if statistics prove the opposite over the course of thousands if not tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of games then those people are just flat out wrong.

And even if playing akali makes you feel like shit? Matters as much as a fart, people felt the exact same about Yasou, Zoe, Teemo, Jax,Fiora and Irelia and it doesnt matter.

What matters is results and performance, and statistics show that Akali is bad at getting good ones.

Yeah be careful mentioning anything about nerfing Akali. Had to delete a thread because all these Akali mains got butt-hurt when I suggested nerfing her shroud. "You want to gut/destroy her" "You really don't understand what Akali needs to function" lol
