Akali, too strong? Perhaps not....but....

....the amount of annoyance she provides is top tier.

She has way too many ways too escape a bad fight. Yet she can dive in and do massive damage.

I don't think champions like this are good for the game. She is high reward, ZERO risk.

Whoever thought this up...really should be let go by Riot. These kinds of changes are ruining the game.

I think Akali is the first rework/new champion to be released and be actually balanced in a VERY LONG TIME... idk why people have such a mentality to say a new champ is either broken or terrible. heres why shes balanced

  • HER mobility is restricted partially by YOUR decisions as the lane opponent (her e) if u move into ur team she will get demolished, or if u move into ur tower after she uses her W

  • her ult slows down her mobility A LOT, she has to wait 3 seconds (im pretty sure) in between dashes, and thats a pretty long time for an assassin thats supposed to be in and out ez-pz

  • Her q takes up half of her energy bar (level1) and she regens it 10 per second, her q is also at a very low cd for that reason, to seperate the good akalis from the bad.

  • Her 3 is very hit-or miss.... literally... there are times where she relies so much on hitting that damn shuriken, if she misses it mid-fight shes either dead or you get away (as the opponent)

  • She relies on her passive too much in my opinion, she has to constantly be moving in and out of range to activate her passive. wasting a lot of time that another assassin would be utilizing.

  • her q is pretty short ranged and appears to hit enemies a lot but turns out not actually hitting them

  • She has a lot of energy problems, she has to be constantly watching her energy bar, id say shes the most difficult energy-user

**lets move onto some strengths **

  • Her second dash on her ult is very very good, its perfect for her play style and the opponent has that 3 second window to prevent that second dash
  • Her twilight shroud really helps her with her energy issues and can be really clutch at times
  • She assassinates her targets but after shes done with that, shes very susceptible to being taken out quickly by the enemy team.
  • She can choose whats a good fight and whats a bad fight, unlike some other assassins that NEED to go in when they land an ability.
  • her damage is similar to other assassins, not much different then lets say Zed or Kat
  • She can escape fights pretty well with her e, personally... i find myself using her ult to get out fights more than going in

Akali presses W and pretty much zones your whole back line. This ability is OP as balls.

All I ever seen Akalis do is feed. Now Talon, that's a different story. Always gets fed. Talon is broken, not Akali.
