Revert Akali (Even if for a Little While)

Woodakoodashooda··5 votes·1,180 views

Akali's rework is among Riot's biggest mistakes to date.

Her ban rate is among the highest in the entire history of the game.

And players who somehow miraculously manage to pick her without someone dodging (usually only in those instances in which both teams have a player who wants her; so, their allies do them a kindness and NOT ban her) lose anywhere between 55-60% of their games as her.

She is NOT balanced in any sense of the word for those who enjoy her.

The player base does NOT allow anyone at any tier to try and learn and main her.

And the mechanics of the champion such as her hyper mobility and concealment make her an immediate and understandable target of hate.

Nerfing her will only worsen her already terrible performance, but you can't exactly provide her with buffs either.

This thing you call a champion is truly the Frankenstein's monster of league of legends.

Honestly, this is one rework that should be reverted even if just long enough for Riot to go back to the drawing board and try something else.

Seriously, Riot, you failed miserably this time.

Akali should definetely get reverted or reworked again, akali mains like my self dont even get to play the champion we loved anymore.The old akai was not popular enough, and maybe had some issues, but at least she had a dedicated player base who loved her, and there were not many people complaining about her. Her current state is terrible

Yeah sure, let's make her like before with target ability that requires the same skill needed to play Pantheon.

If riot actualy starts caring, they can easilly balance her old self.The current akali will stay unhealthy forever

She more balanced then the last one by a mile, im going to guess you never played or played vs the last one if you have this opinion.

As much as i wish we could choose between old iterations of champions and new, it's never going to happen, because of "keeping the game fresh" crap.

So tell me, if she is not balanced, why does she have the lowest winrate in League of Legends? If she would have been so OP, she would have had an higher winrate in the few games where she is played. So if you don't know how to counter her, please go and try to understand how to do that and dont blame Riot for the rework.
