Akali is a champion in League of Legends. With a whopping 46.51% winrate, Akali's main item is getting nerfed harshly. Yeah I am tired of this... WE NEED JUSTICE.

Because there are a lot of champs that are abusing it. It's too strong

Oh, another item with AP getting nerfed while AD items with far superior utility and defenses run rampant? Let's not forget their unavoidable AA and abilities also scale with AD so when an AD kills an AP... Clearly outplayed.

Color me surprised. [slayer-jinx-unamused]

It had AD stats too. And also, when you AP champs use Zhonyas to survive, Us AD champs end up dying. Not to mention your cheaper overall items for more powerful builds.

Need I remind you that you can still oneshot us from the screen away?

Need I remind you in that very same post you quoted, just one of those aforementioned AD items with far superior utility makes it so you can literally block all of a Burst Mage's arsenal with your face and still get the kill one on one because AD?

Akali is getting a buff to her ult. 10% more ap scaling. She'll do similar damage once she picks it up, and more when she's 6.

Imo, gunblade is just broken lol. I love that they made it core on kat

If one champion needs to be a sacrificial lamb for the rest of the game so be it. Hextech Gunblade is just too good of an item to not be nerfed. While Alkali will suffer from the hextech gunblade nerf, I think Riot will buff her as they stated before she was fairly weak.

Mord gets screwed even more as well. They consider the base 250 damage just too high early on.

Poor teemo will be forgotten soon. Eventhough, not his core item but it helped teemo alot to sustain and was usually 80% of times build in his overall kit. If anything i'll say kat deserves a nerf as gunblade itself is only viable on few select champs.

Watch, all the non akali people will be like "BLEH BLEH BLEH ITS OP BLEH BLEH BLEH"

hahaha first up, akali was hit hard 6.22 by @Rioter rickless. which he has no idea how akali is played.

Anyways. 6.21 was 50% ap and now currently 25% ap. Next patch or whatever it will be 35% ap scaling,

BUT GUNBLADE... THE MOST IMPORTANT item to akali... is getting nerfed. so its like theyre indirectly nerfing her.

They should make gunblade avaliable to certain champions. like how gangplank can buy certain items that others cannot, or like victor. like... this nerf to gunblade is horrid to akali. sigh.....
