Can not instantly obliterate you
Can no longer instantly obliterate you, in fact, her damage has received EXTREME nerfs with the new akali in replacement of additional mobility. You need to bob and weave and do SO MUCH just to be able to perform, if she does become a problem I think it will be very easy to handle her.
