Thoughts on The "Nerf" on Akali.

This is really late but i thought riot would change akali back by now.

So if riot really wanted to nerf akali are they going to change her back to how she used to be anytime soon? I mean movement speed boost is sure "ninja" like but as mid laner who uses skill shot based champions this was more of huge buff than a nerf. I used to be able to predict where akali would be within her w but now that's almost impossible

So anyone think riot will change her back to how she used to be since they wanted to nerf akali? (I mean there is a reason why movement speed runes so freaking expensive compared to armor and mr)

I mean riot if you want to really "nerf" akali just reduce the spell vamp passive and change the movement speed back to mr and armor

I don't need to predict, I just nuke the whole area.

It's kind of a huge nerf. Movespeed doesn't really matter to Akali.

How is that impossible? Many, many AP Mages all have AoE spells (many with CC) that can be used while she's in her Shroud.

now that the mr and armor bonuses are gone a certain purple prophet can just nuke the entire shroud to force her out of it

For the record, that MS is a buff.

In terms of overall tankiness, its a nerf, but considering how much mobility is prized, it is technically a buff. She is already hard to target so now its even harder, though if you do have the skill to hit her, she will die faster.

Frankly, I'd just like them the reduce the duration of the shroud, feels like it lasts an eternity

Sounds more like a pro than a con.

Smoke-grenades that don't conceal anything seem kind of lame and un-ninja-like.
