Akali: Maybe one day she will come back, but this will be decided by herself

Let's talk about the problem of akali. She will be nerfed again in 9.11. I just write some general statements to talk the condition now.

1. She is still overpowered now? no in rank and yes in pro. Why? Because she is easy to get kills before 15min and get superiority. However, the teammates in rank can not end the game when they get superiority, but teammates in pro can do this. That's the reason why she is not easy to balance. In Chinese server, akali's win rate is 43%, it is much lower than KR and NA. Nearly all chinese akali main want to get revert. In addition, after this nerf, she will not get superiority in early game and become a completely rubbish champion. I really hope designers can try to play this champion, or not just watch MSI!!

2.How about her rework? I can sure it is failure. Her skill combo is interesting i admit and can get early kill, but you have to know it is unstable and slow bursting This is the largest problem that she can not get snowball ability and win the game. Her mechanism gives enemy bad experience (QAQA in W brings frustration) and also give her player bad experience( low cleaning minions and snowball ability)

3.What should they do now? She can not be balanced now. Revert or Re-rework I suggest revert, but re-rework is also a good way to fix this condition. Old akali is not perfect, but she is much more balanced than new one with 50% win rate, at least no frustration. She has her own feature and playing way. The most Akali mains also hope she can get revert, because the new one is completely different to old one. Re-rework is also working, but it is difficult. New akali's ability is rely on her W, so designers are difficult to change this. The QER and passive is only related to the value. Therefore, revert is better than another work. I suggest revert firstly, then you have more time to make a new champion like new akali re-rework.

In addition, i really so sad if you insist on destroy akali main. I only main this champion and be a challenger in the past, but now i only can get diamond and really hard to win a game.

Like her background: Maybe one day she will come back, but this will be decided by herself. Go back to balanced sects and apologize to Shen, many players hope you can back! I love this champion too deeply and really hope she can get revert.

This is my old view about the rework of akali. you can read by this link if you are interested. I wish designer can see this and make efforts many times. above is chinese link and below is english version link. https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/g1ij5qui-from-chinese-player-a-full-analysis-and-advice-about-the-rework-of-akail
