Nothing about "Removing/Reducing unique strengths" or "Hey, that's fine, but how is this champion supposed to turret dive literally anyone with a brain now?" going on. Not even any "OH YEAH I CAN VEIGAR R HER UNDER MY TURRET AGAIN" posts?
Isn't this EXACTLY what you guys wanted?
Oleandervine4 votesThere's no one saying that because literally ever since she was on the PBE, people had been calling for Obscuring to be removed from her shroud. It's been THE #1 requested change about Akali's kit, and Riot's been consistently like "Lol, nope. Let's hit her MS" or some other dumb "nerf" that didn't actually address any of the concerns with her.

It isn't entirely removed. Only under turret.
Now, it might as well be removed at this point, and I doubt that the compensation for removing it will bode well, because she now needs a means of properly turret diving or compensation for not being able to at all anymore, but the desire of being able to target her under a turret is being fulfilled.

No, Akali has plenty of tools to turret dive you as it is. She has both her E and R to be maneuverable underneath turrets. What they need to do is now start to backpedal on some of the other nerfs they did to her since they hit one of her most controversial strengths.

You're joking.
Do you know how to turret dive? No one cares how much you move if you don't drop aggro. No one cares how much you drop aggro if you still eat 50% of your hp in turret shots while dancing around and repeatedly taking hits. The way most assassins turret dive is through high burst damage and the leaving the premises before taking too many hits. Akali's damage is intentionally gated through multiple means. Unless her target's on like 65 hp, she's going to take too long jumping around to properly dive and escape without dying too. That was the point of Obscurity, so she'd have time to execute dives even with her gates to her damage.

GreenKnight1 votesThe post was up for like 2 hours. Give it time.
Also, nice fucking rework again, Rito. First Irelia and now Akali are being massively changed. Great design.
Stupid reworks...
VolatileAkali1 votesEven if Akali is weak, I'm gonna abuse Fleet Footwork with her, that shit is disgusting. It so easy to survive team fights with it now + obscurity. Your fucked enemy ADC.
