Rumble and Akali don't want CDR. They are very specifically built to have anti-synergy with it.

Also blah blah why the fuck should characters who get to spam shit off cooldown anyways get to spam even more.

Doesn't really matter though. Building something like Morellonomicon is still more than worth sacrificing that mana regen for the passive and CDR, I personally always build it second or third item when playing kennen.

Akali isn't awful with item 3065 . Not saying it's ideal, but there's options.

Manaless APs make this trade They GET: A big laning phase/standoff advantage. They LOSE: Any sort of decent itemization.

AP champs that don't use mana have shit itemization. Like Akali . Akali works pretty well with spellblade. OH YEAH, Any item that has spellblade also has the stat of mana. Akali item 3070 You could make the case that this was an intentional doing because if this wasn't the case everyone would be an Akali main. Katarina Now. is a snowballing champion. There is an item for AP snowballing champions. Its item 3041 . Oh wait. has mana. Again, This may be intentional because if it wasn't this way then everyone would be a main.

Except Akali has a pretty garbage laning phase, and is also an assassin with heavy snowballing potential. If having no cdr was the trade-off for having a good laning phase, imagine how good Akali would be.

Akali can kill the enemy laner at level 7, guaranteed. How's that a bad laning phase.

I wasn't aware that Levels 1-6 didn't count as the majority of laning.

Theyre a part of the laning phase that's over pretty fast. Akali can avoid harass with W and poke melee's with Q's short cooldown and infinite use possibility. Also, Have you seen akali pop thunderlords decree? its gross.

It ends fast because the game ends fast already. That and Akali gets thrashed by solid mages and melee assassins with stronger ranged poke (e.g. Zed, Malzahar, etc), and half of her Q's damage requires her to get into melee range, which is almost impossible to pull off reliably without retaliation pre-6.

I can see how akali may get bullied pre 6. Just she turns the tables so well.
