@Riot: I *hope* you have more planned for Akali than this.
> Crescent Slash (E) cooldown lowered to 5/4/3/2/1 from 7/6/5/4/3 > Crescent Slash (E) AP ratio increased to .4 from .3
Akali is an Energy champion, you could give her E 0 cooldown and she still couldn't use more than 5 before going out of Energy, and her E has a cast time to it so it's not very spammable to begin with. If this is all you've got planned for Akali's changes then you might as well have done nothing. Her E will still be a useless skill, and having any champion in this game possess an ability that's not worth ranking or using is terrible game design.
