I have been playing Akali for the last 10 months and me and every other Akali main has said that we don't like these changes. The community is clearly dissatisfied with these changes and we haven't heard anything pertaining to fixing them yet. This is a problem because we are so close to the pre season and we don't know what you're doing to our favorite champion. From what i've read, you wanted the akali changes to be tailored towards mains, and almost all the mains are speaking against the changes. Please listen to the community. Because we ARE the community.

WE disagree on her passive, Her R nerf from hell, Her nerf on non AOE W. and her E CD.

If the changes stay the way they are, We have come to the conclusion that a high majority will no longer be playing Akali or league itself.

She's not even released Live..how about waiting until you actually play the rework before complaining about..

Videos can't show you fully how she can be played.. Its a basic draft of her abilities.

So I say it again, how about waiting until the Assassin Update is released before complaining about ruining her kit.

I didn't say they don't show anything .. If you actually read my post I said that it only shows you the basics about the abilities. They don't show the best combos a main can pull off.

And now I shall leave my point at that because you are clearly too young to understand any points.

i wonder when players will realize that yelling, insulting, and using sarcasm hurts whatever argument they are making.

I couldn't care less about what you are arguing about, but the way you present all of your points make you look immature and it suggests the idea that you care more about being negative towards the person than to actually have a discussion.

Don't be so offended about someone who has a different opinion as you. You're getting this worked up over a guy that says he hasn't received enough information to form an opinion yet...is that really something to be so offended about?

So please, chill out and learn to discuss things without becoming toxic and flaming anyone who doesn't have the exact same opinion as you. It does nothing but to hurt your cause

Does playing about 25 games with it and still hating the feel of it count?

Passive is nerfed no ifs ands or buts about it while the damage of the second strike is better for 2 autos total compared to the live passive it is weaker past that and this gain is minimal. Healing from passive is also clearly down since you can not longer walk into a minion wave press E and get a fair ammount of health back due to hitting 6 enemies with one ability.

Q is unchanged

Shroud is far more limited in how it can be used and is only situationally better at best. The pink ward counter removal is hardly noticeable in any way other the you can be a little more rekless but not have the damage to do anything.

E: cooldown tripled at max rank

Ult: 50/100/150 +.25 AP down from 100/175/250 + .5 AP and now has a cooldown of 2 seconds at all ranks instead of 2/1.5/1

See, this helps because it actually explains why you think the update is bad..

Dude stfu if you don't know jack shit what's going on. If you came to akali mains reddit, you would see posts "testing akali in pbe" - yes people actually stream her gameplay and explain every new thing they discover. So we do know, how she's played.

Know when to give up instead of trying to defend your nonexistant honour... by arguing with someone who actually is tracking events down, and is following every new info piece he gets... unlike you, who's eager to argue without even doing some research, about what's being argued, first.

You dare to talk about intelligence as if you're above the other guy. You know, intelligent people do research first an argue later.. as i can see that's not the case with you.

One can get their point across WITHOUT being rude unlike how you have done.. So forgive me if I don't apologize or bow down to Akali mains. This Tank main will just enjoy crushing you all.

PookeyTheCat1 votes

You don't need to apologize for anything, you just spit your opinion the way you want to say it - it's internet, not job interview or talk with your boss, where your carrier is at stake.

Consider my post as a criticism, where vulgarism is used for artistic purposes - that's the way i see it. Hope this helps, 'cause if you see rude comment, it's more often than not the case... unless you go in into personal fight with the guy.

This Tank main will just enjoy crushing you all.

Too bad i don't play in NA, i would consider it as a challenge >:)

their was a discussion in the akali mains reddit that we would repost this as a protest, looks like everyone forgot.

Iceember3 votes

Well... you had 4 (or was it 5 people) in agreement to do this. I told you your timing was terrible and you weren't gonna get anywhere with it. Low and behold 3 hours later your 2 posts are buried under the shitshow that is Gameplay boards.

The 14th Angel1 votes

least i tried, unlike you. which still thinks akali is mathematically better. why/how are you a main honestly.

Keepe1 votes

I said it once, I'll say it again.

Never assume Riot cares.

They don't.

PookeyTheCat1 votes

You don't need to play her rework to know that her play style is going to change completely. (I'm assuming you played akali before, of course)

TyrekGoldenspear1 votes

Well, if you guys are one tricks then that means you have very specific key combinations ingrained into your muscle memory to execute right?

And if cooldowns and damage are adjusted that ruins your internal damage calculators and memorized comboes.

So that's a good indicator that she feels "clumsy" to play.

However somebody who hasn't touched Akali and learns on this reworked one won't think so.

It's all perspective.

What do you guys specifically want? Lower cooldowns, more damage?
