Don't remove Akali's W-E mechanic

Im creating this post because it seems riot is adamant on removing Akali's W-E mechanic and the fact that players and rioters are misunderstanding the usage of Akali's W-E.

Akali's W-E combo is used as a defensive tool that she has to set up to use effectively. It's ineffective used as an offensive tool. Akali's combo is highly dependant on using her W for safety and movespeed. By using W-E offensively/to engage, you're losing time on your W and also it requires long setup. The most important thing to note about using W-E aggressively is that you lose energy for your combo. Barely any experienced Akali players use W-E aggressively because of that reason. Usually E is used against a minion which allows Akali to save her shroud for energy and also safety.

Here's a video of two different examples of the W-E mechanic vs hitting the E on a minion.

**W-E: **

1. Slower when compared to both of the other combos.
2. No energy restore.
3. Less time in shroud.
4. 2 Q's
5. Shroud can move (this can be in your favor or not, but it's very hard to keep track of.)

**E-W: **

1. Faster than W-E but slower than E on minion.
2. Restores the energy of E, but it hits the cap. (E is 30 energy and W regains 40, the loss of energy due to the cap gets higher as you level up W)
3. Longer time in shroud compared to W-E, but the positioning is slightly worse.
4. 2 Q's
5. Shroud can move.

**E onto minion: **

1. Faster then when used with shroud
2. Allows for you to use shroud at any time.
3. Longest time in shroud time tied with E hit on champion.
4. 3 Q's
5. The only con is that the minion can move or die.

**I didn't include it in the video but, the best way to use E is to land it on a champion: **

1. Fastest
2. Allows for you to use shroud at any time.
3. Shroud time tied with E onto minion:
4. 3 Q's
5. E allows you to follow anywhere with the champion, so it can't move like in the minion situation.
6. Extra damage, landing E instantly procs passive and allows for 3 separate damage procs which can proc electrocute on its own.
7. Only con is that it's hard to land.

The changes are making her E more powerful if she hits it on a target. They are buffing her impact if she hits a champion with E. So, why can't W-E stay then? If its more important in her kit to land E's then shes punished harder for using her E on a minion or the shroud. Using E on the shroud is already worth much less than on a champion or minion, so why can't it stay.

TL;DR: E is already more powerful aggressively when used on a minion or champion, she loses damage, safety, and energy gain from using W with E to engage. The buffs are making E more powerful when used to hit a champion or minion, so shes punished harder than live for using E on shroud.
