Proposing an Akali Ult Rework
First off, this is not a q_q thread, but I seriously feel that Akali is in a very unbalanced place in the meta right now, and I know I'm not alone.
She had a 95%+ banrate, and she's had that banrate for a long time now. I know a lot of players are going to comment "OMG JUST BUY A PINK WARD", but her shroud isn't the reason she's unbalanced. It's her ult.
Once she hits level 6, there is little room for an Akali player to make a mistake. Her combo is simple: q -> r -> e -> repeat, shroud when needed. No abilities of hers are skillshots, and it's quite frankly unfair how she can deal massive burst damage to one target, then hop back out or shroud to escape. A pink ward will not do nothing because Akali still gets a speed boost while in the shroud, which even for a split second that could allow her to escape.
I thus propose to you, rito, a very simple yet satisfying change for her ultimate.
Shadow Dance -- 60 Second Cooldown -- No Cost
Akali dashes to a target location, dealing 150/250/350 (+50% AP).
If this dash hits an enemy champion, Akali will stop and mark that champion, being able to dash to them up to 1/2/3 more times within the next 20 seconds. If Akali kills an enemy champion within that time, the cooldown of Shadow Dance will be reset.
This ult will allow a low ELO Akali player to be able to make mistakes, while also adding more decision making to playing the champion, forcing the player to think "Do I use this reset to escape the fight or focus down another person?".
Clarifying: Once landing the dash, you may only dash to the marked champion, but it wont be a skillshot.
Clarifying: Akali can dash through minions, but will stop once hitting a champion.
Hope you liked this idea, best of luck on the fields of justice.
