Riot is probally pissed out of their minds right now.

they are getting maximum hate for a champion they havent even officially teased yet on top of the normal balance team hate. well deserved tho, new akali is broken as all shit. "towers cant detect you but balanced cuz 5 seconds rank 1 that grows to 10 secs max rank xd" Ridiculous. everyone knows it only takes 0.2 seconds to kill someone in this game.

I don’t think we now her power levels yet since we haven’t but played it/seen her numbers. So let’s not freak out until we know what actually going on, yeah?

idgaf about her numbers. thats all triple cherries and icing on the icecream. its the shroud that is stupid. its going to be highly oppressive if it stays like that. if she gets fed in lane you cant even hide under your tower to CS, you have to fall back to 2nd turret...

I bet those power levels are over 9000

You started out your post so well.

Then you didn’t finish it that way.

  1. Akali has been officially teased. As has her splash art been officially released.

  2. We do not know how she actually plays. Everyone on the boards was crying that Aatrox would still too weak after the buffs. And then pros wrecked with him at Rift Rivals

Her kit got leaked. We do kinda know how she plays.

And we don’t have numbers.

And we were watching her play on the alpha stage test realm.

And most of the clips of her were in a practice mode.

And the few we did see of her in an actual were mostly her nearly instantly getting killed, the hanging around while her team finished everything up.

The one shot on the Jinx was incredibly lucky that everything lined up that well, combined with Prof Akali’s skill at playing that style of champion.

you can clearly see the damage she was doing to everyone, not just jinx. the numbers are very high. but its the shroud that is the abuse case here. in what world do you not see that as a problem? this is the problem with the community, they dont see the bigger picture.

only hashinshin said that and everyone sheepishly followed him and his blind hate as usual. hashinshin is a point and click Auto Attack player, so of course he would be mad at aatrox being turned into a mechanical champion.

that being said tho, aatrox was very weak during his release. it took alot of hotfixing and buffs to bring him up to a decent level for pros to even touch him. idk why you left out that very important detail.

It most certainly was not just Hashinshin, nor were complaints all originating from his followers.

Posts topped both boards and reddit calling it the worst rework ever.

the point is that people knew this well before his release on live yet he was still released with those same problems. that is the problem with people like you and the community as a whole.

"its just PBE guys, we dont even know her ratios and she not even on live yet!" (zoe gets released ridiculously OP and one shotting everything in sight)

"guys its just PBE, aatrox is fine" (aatrox gets released despite the negative feedback he got on PBE)

"akali one shitting everyone and not getting detected by turrets is no big deal until she gets released on live and does exactly the same thing"

like seriously, STOP. riot has NEVER made any large sweeping changes when they are extremly close to a champions launch window. how she is now is most likely how she will be on live because its how riot has ALWAYS done things. ignoring this fact is silly. You people always ask for "damage numbers" without first looking at the core mechanics of a champions kit. what makes zoe a problem is NOT her fucking numbers, its the way her kit is designed. Akali is no different.

It's still a terrible rework. It's good as a new champion, but it's a bad rework.

good luck with that, with her perma banning and all.

Gonna need to practice in normals first anyway. She looks pretty mechanically intensive and I'm not very good at that stuff. But she looks so fun I want to put in the work and learn her.

Lmao! "Balance" team released a new dumbass patch? Why am I not surprised? Watch out for the 1-800-akaliskins though. She doesn't have one yet doesn't she?

They "Change things for the sake of change." It's a good concept if they actually change for the better. But noooo they make changes for SKINS! Wake up people.

oh btw actually the official teaser they just released clearly shows that turrets don't detect her.

I'm less concerned with Akali's gameplay because I understand that CertainlyT had his reasons for what he did and probably did the best he could to improve on her gameplay while keeping her Akali. I'm more concerned with the fact she now looks like crap and he splash art fails on every level aside from technical proficiency.

Riot needs to rename this Fakali champion into something new and then Revert this terrible rework.

make a new champ and bring back the original akali.
