So, my understanding is there is an assassin-class update in the works. Is this correct? Akali pls?

I am hoping that there is some kind of update for champinos like Akali and Talon in the works. I know both received recent changes, but overall their kits do not have a very satisfying interaction with others in-game either during lane or during "assassinations." I am hoping there can be more interactive play updates into their kits, the way that a champion like Zed or Leblanc has more interactive strengths and weaknesses, and not just spam of abilities (well, okay, it can be argued that all of these characters can spam abilities to kill someone). I am a great fan of Riven who, in my opinion, can function as a great Assassin in that she, if played with cunning, can lock down and tear apart a high-priority target through her Hiten Mitsurugi style. Fiona is similar. I think Riot has done a great job with those two champs in particular, because they always feel satisfying to play and never seem like they have no weaknesses to play against. I know many members of the community would love updates to this class of characters as Assassin and martial-arts characters have some of the most fun lore, personalities and playstyles to enjoy.

Akali's gameplay rework is actually finished, it began last year. Her new skills kit is solid and accepted, and will end with her tank build cos of longer CDs and lower base dmg. It will be released mid year at most. Akali's visual update isn't finished I think.

I read all this from a LAS Rioter, so it's official.
