Akali still ruined after "hotfix"

she has a 35% winrate. she feels terrible. the q energy nerf is too much. she cant trade in lane. if you make her r1 free target maybe you can keep the q nerf. her winrate is 35%. I recommend making r1 free target again and nerfing her overall damage output. make it so she has to hit e to assassinate.. I know the nerfs are for pro play but holy shit. she is unusable as a main in lower elo. there is no way you can consistently carry with her low elo. if someone on my team feeds, there is 0 chance i can solo carry with the current akali.

Don't buff hr, rework her. Nobody cared when Yuumi was at 38% WR for several patches, why should we care when it happens to Akali.

because they released a prestige akali, tons of skins, and put her on the front page of the website. they basically begged people to play her and now so many people wasted their time learning her. She is dog shit right now.

I am sorry about yummi.

-5? you guys are trolls. she has the lowest winrate in the game. It isn't fair they released all of these skins for akali and suddenly rework her, change how shes played, and completely gut her.

You are talking to people who do not care about or want any champion they hate to be anything but a troll pick that auto loses games.

but is it warranted?

an assasin who can just walk over your team without getting punished in any way whatsoever, cant be caught, cant be ran away from... is it justified that it is hated

because lets be honest even in her worst matchups akali still holds almost all of the cards and noone enjoys seeing her in game.

That being said... she could be ballanced... but hotfix buffs are a bad idea... noone tested this, there is almost no chance that it will work while a major probability that it wont change anything or slingshot her back into broken state.

what do you think of a nerf with significant damage reduction? So she has to hit e to assassinate with R2? I would rather have free target R1 so she can have more mobility but have way less damage so she has to outplay "harder". You feel? I know you think its a joke, but her mobility is too low in low elo. If shes gonna have such low mobility she needs to be able to 1 v 2 or 1 v 3 which she cant with these q energy nerfs. There are too many sustain monsters for her q energy nerf.

the champion has been a meme since the R1 stun got removed. dunno why joe public in bronze are acting like any of what the champion does applies to their skill level.

I haven't played with the hotfix but it feels really bad to use R right now. The angle that it puts you in is so disorienting after you ult someone and it's hard to target someone especially since she has to move around for her passive so much.

It really should have better targeting, something similar to how GP's Q on barrels would feel satisfying. On GP when you Q in a close area to the barrels it sort of locks on.

what if... we get free target R1 but we can only use R1 if an enemy is on our screen or within lee sin q range? So they are a reasonable distance away and im not using r1 r2 e and w to haul ass to a fight?
