@Meddler What are the current thoughts of the design team on Akali?

If/when there is a rework what do you speculate akali would be like? What do you think her role should be? What do you think her identity as a champion should be? What pieces of her kit would you keep/expand on and what pieces would be removed? Finally, what do you think her theme as a character is? Is she simply a ninja, or does she have more to her than that?
