Akali's shroud and damage is just WAY too over powered, for example I played a tryndamere game against akali, at around lvl 6 and she had 1 kill and hadn't backed yet, she all ined me under turret (and killed me) when i was practically full hp, i wasted my ult because she just pressed w, and my entire health bar disappeared with 1 combo, if this sort of thing can happen thats when you know a champion is so broken its stupid. Furthermore league having the community it does, i got a 4x report for giving her two kills, something i couldn't even stop because she killed me under tower without being fed. I thought riot actually used the pbe to make sure things are at least even remotely balanced before they hit live. Another reason why i regret wasting money on this company, Just you watch player numbers will drop because of this rework.

I do not believe this one bit because of that line right there. Akali does not have the damage to 100-0 a Tryndamere of all champions in ONE combo. She must've outplayed the hell outta you, man.

Shes far easier to deal with now than pre rework. If anything shes weaker.

I actually find that the new Akali has way more opportunities for counterplay than her old kit. Akali's old kit was a massive problem because if she got fed, there's nobody she couldn't single out and instakill. Her burst damage came out instantly and it didn't matter if you had a dash and your flash up, she could stick to you no matter way. There was no situation short of killing her where you could escape an Akali diving after you with all of the summoners and mobility in the world behind you.

New Akali keeps her mobility, but her stickiness is significantly reduced now. She's much less feast or famine. Her burst combo is slower and more methodical, meaning she can't OMG INSTABURST you from 100 to 0 in 0.02 seconds (Like Diana still can). Plus her design's amazing. Her new kit is really diverse and fun and it brings some utility finally. So if she feeds and is behind and can't kill anyone, she can still be useful and won't instantly die upon facechecking someone she wasn't supposed to.

She has no hp bar. At all. Their jgl camped me when I was playing Jayce. I could win trades with her so easily its not even funny.

sigh...

buy protections. stop trying to glass cannon with tryndamere. her kit literally only does damage if she combos her auto attacks or hits you with her R.
