Akali QoL buff

Are··21 votes·927 views

Hello. Can we make Akali's W have no cast time? I want to use it for the speed buff, but there really is no point before it's rank 3 because the time wasted casting shroud makes it pretty much not worth it.

The shroud gives 20/40/60/80/100% MS that decays over 1 second. Rank 1/2 speed boost is negligible because of the cast time.

Thanks.

i get where you are coming from but removing the cast time on skills is not i repeat not a QoL buff because getting rid of the cast time doesnt give the opposing laner/enemy a chance to react to you putting down the skill also they removed the cast time on veigars w and that was considered a qol buff but ended up pushing him over the line but dont kid yourself i am all up for giving akali something to help her it sucks when people complain about champs being super op and then nerfing them and forgetting about them Akali Sejuani Sion

Ah, I get what you mean. I didn't think about that part, but honestly, I don't think that removing it will be too harsh on enemies like Veigar's "QoL" buff was. Everybody pinks anyways.

With the resistances removed, shroud is useless when there are pink wards/oracle lens going around. The speed boost would mean something if it did not stop Akali from moving in the first place.

I'm just hoping that they give Akali a light rework like what they did for Ashe soon.

It's quite clear that they aren't going to buff her at all at this point.

She's in line for something. There was a huge thread complaining about how Akali really only has 2 functioning skills. The goal is to do something about W and/or E.

I hope they don't give her a mini-game task.

Yer this really needs to be done. Its pointless having a speed boost if you have to stay stuck casting it, therefore the effective distance used to escape gets reduced.

I read a thread (I forgot now, but pretty sure from surrender@20) about Riot saying something that they will rework Akali's W... They said something like changing it into a healthier skill so that it would somehow benefit the team and not get easily countered by pink ward..

Just be patient, even I'm still sitting here waiting

It doesn't hurt to ask for something small while I wait.

pretty sure they just started on it... I guess it will take a while. At least you know that W may benefit the team and not get easily countered by pink ward

She will get a rework cause she is unbalanced. Sometimes she is useless and sometimes she is kinda hard to stop. I mean if she snowballs she can outduel anyone and carry really hard. Her key abilities are point and click so there is no room for counterplay as squishy. Against Zed and Talon you would get Zhonias or QSS or something but Akali? On the other side her laning phase is really weak and she gets poked down and else...
