Please RIOT, I'm brazilian and i used to be top 1 akali br and i was top 1 akali world in the beggining of this season. You guys nerfed akali so strong, without a reason.

-Akali without the E exploding the Mark(A) it a piece of sh!@. It is not pickable anymore.

Akali was easily countered char with pink, trincket ( cheap 250 gold after lvl 9), and another champions spells ( leesin, lulu, karma, kog'maw, fizz and more"
Akali was not in pick/ban in competitive tournament/championship.
Akali was used only one time in WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP it was a situational pick against yasuo/kayle. (used by samsung white x blue )
Akali is strong in low elo, but not a game changer in high elos and you guys know that.

Please bring back akali to LOL.

I'm actually pretty certain they're nerffing her for the same reason Evelynn was nerffed in season 1. She's stomping public games and getting a lot of low-experience players to spam the forums with QQ threads.

And that really bothers me, because that kind of crap got garbage tier re-named Evelyn tier for a solid 2 years. Eve become so bad overnight people who played her were reported so often they actually got banned.

Akali's been sitting in the lowest 15 win rates for well over a year in the majority of monthly win-rates searches I've done at LoL King. This new nerf is not going to help things for her, so I really hope Riot is planning on giving her something back soon.

"how about no"

I dont think anything changes the fact that she was a high burst mobile point click assassin, regardless of whether or not she was in lcs. there was really no way to stop her other than not being in range, kinda like ryze no, ganging up on her and carrying pink wards is not satisfying counterplay, that and it doesnt stop an akali who gets ahead anyway cuz fuq that spell vamp going from 10 hp to 1000 actually maintaining melee range range(despite previously having the 2nd longest dash in game) to perform her burst allows for error at the very least maybe i'll have time to fight back or flee or kite or get her off me

I don't think you play akali. If you do you'll know there're many ways to shut her down even before the nerf. hard cc, etc.

I miss Akali.

The E not proccing Q was okay. This is how she initially was. It takes time to readjust, but you'll understand that she is still strong without it. The reason why they removed it (though they didn't give explanation in patch notes >_>) is because it offered less counterplay to Akali. Now that she has to proc it with her AA, there is that small window of time in which someone can get away from her before her AA connects.

Her R range nerf is the real killer. Her niche was to be able to catch out really mobile squishies, but now she struggles to catch people like Tristana or Caitlyn. A real shame.

The reason why she was nerfed is because people didn't like how well she excelled in sticking onto people - killing them. Her full, correctly done burst takes a minimum for 12 seconds to complete, which is why she is so sticky. People didn't like that flash did not guarantee safety. So they complained about her mobility.

The range nerf REALLY killed her. They need to bring back the 100 range.

I think the both nerfs weren't the correct direction to take akali.
