Akali was 100% p/b in NA playoffs
After a year's worth of resources this is where we are at with Akali. Not even sure what to say at this point.

This is a lesson Riot desperately needs to learn.
Raw-stat-checking and feature-checking are BOTH stat-checking. Too much feature/utility/flexibility/etc is also the same as too much raw stat-checking just in a more roundabout and indirect way.
Turns out, game and design balance means balance in EVERY aspect of the design, and not just the raw numbers of things. Who would've thought?
Riot, can you please start to account for the amount of utility and features of champs into your balance process? Thank you.
Theres only one thing to be said:
Revert Akali.
shes just cancer and needs a revert. no one even asked for this rework im pretty sure as well.
Sylas too, and its similar in other regions, these more recent overloaded champs just have way too much in their kits I don't know where the hell the concept of power budget was when they built sylas kit, oh hes melee but has literally everything he needs and can steal ults on top of it. Recent riot champs are flashy disgusting overloaded bs.
Riot's constant failures just show they don't know what they are doing. Most new champs and reworks have far to much safety in their kits - regen, stealth, dashes. They never learn, or they don't have enough creativity to create champs without these OP mechanics. Either way, it has made the game so boring. You can only play or ban these champs.
They need to rework her for high plat to low diamond instead of keeping her as a pro-tweaked champ.
Most players can't play her because of how she's designed she has to be nerfed for them. Pros will either insta pick or ban her because of she's designed.
This isn't something that can be balanced with a few numbers, her kit is just unmaintainable for any elo. She needs a rework to take her out of pro hands.
Akali win rate mid 46.3% 41/43 Akali win rate mid 47.61% 20/28
Waaaaaaaah. TOTAL CANCER!!! Nerf her!!!
It's kind of a bummer. They keep hitting her safety which is all well and good but then they buff her damage to compensate, and she's already extremely mobile and still pretty damn safe. I think they just need to give her more defined weaknesses because right now her get out of jail free status is off the charts while maintaining massive kill pressure.
failed rework that will nerver find balance
Its because once you hit the skill threshold on her (like a hand full of other champs) you can 1v9 equally skilled players no matter what they play.
Akali and the like are BAD designs.
There is one simple explanation CertainlyT, our favourite champion creator who has blessed us with Zed, Yasuo and Zoe alongside with Mordekaiser and Akali rework, which all are of course amazing and extremely balanced designs and of course the creator of TFT items!
What are you saying akali is not allowed to be healthy?
FAIL. Add it to the list.
