Basically, I feel like dashing and her shroud are core parts of Akali and they are what make her unique, so when she gets reworked those things need to stay or be incorperated into the rework. I still wanna feel like I'm playing.....Akali, y'know? I just hope the changes aren't too drastic.
FiraBurn2 votesRework not sure she needs one...... she seem perfect the way she is now
Leblancs Boob2 votesShe needs less point and click and more counterplay
Missed My Burst1 votesI hope she gets gutted. I hate that slut. I can't play her, and other's make her seem so easy. Lol, plus she fucks up my main(s) late game. :(
Keevalroy2 votesYou play a lot of Leblanc, so how do you have a hard time playing her? Akali's one of the best champions to start with when wanting to learn assassins since she teaches you when you go in and when to back off, but you already play them. The biggest thing that separates LB from Akali is Akali needs to commit to a kill or she's screwed, while Leblanc has a fail safe in the form of her W and R. Also I don't know where you're taking her, but I have a lot more success with her top than mid just because you're safer up there.
I take exhaust ignite for maximum kill pressure in lane and to hunt a carry down before a teamfight starts. It also almost forces you to play back to your tower since the lack of flash should make you feel uneasy about overextending. This works well with her since her early game is so weak. Once you hit 6, you should have revolver, and then the fun happens.
Because you don't have flash, look to chunk your opponent while ALWAYS keeping one stack on your ult, engaging as their minions are behind you. In the event that the fight isn't looking good for you, you should have at least one enemy minion to ult back to as you run to the tower, spell vamping back up to a comfortable HP level.
There are those games where you just won't have a good time. Take my last Akali game for example - I laned against a Vlad and he was just kicking my ass. Sej had to come top 3 - 4 times before I was finally ahead enough to get a kill out of a 1v1, and even then, it was close each time. Once I started getting kills, I started roaming around the map and stealing taking securing kills in order to snowball. Once that happens, all you have to worry about is pinks, and getting caught in a teamfight.
Missed My Burst1 votesI play a lot of LB because she's hilariously fun to play. I can max anything I want to first. W, E or Q and I can still do amazing things with her. I understand HOW Akali works it's just my execution of her is God awful. My friend who's very high ELO watched me play her and said "How can you play these really difficult skill cap champions (not referring to LB no worries) and you can't even play Akali? I laughed so hard at that.
but seriously, I do understand how she works, how to roam and whatnot. I understand how weak she is pre-six. I LB into Akali's just so I can make sure they're shutdown first twenty minutes but after that she just becomes Akali anyway and because of her stealth she can easily outplay my LB most of the time (Unless I live and can get my clone/invisibility to pop out).
My Silver/bronze friends can play her better than me. 3: I know it's not a real reason to despise a champion but I do nonetheless.
also, energy is atrocious if I could remove one mechanic from the game it'd be that for me personally, and balance things better for mana/some other bar that isn't energy. But that's not something I'd ever push on because I understand why it's there and why it can make champions balanced/more fun/different.
The only energy champion I'm semi-decent with is Kennen and he's not a good pick in any situation.
FantasySniper1 votesThey're going to have to make her easier to counter somehow, so maybe the dashes will end up becoming more restricted in its targeting.
A lot of people hate Akali (including me), but I certainly don't want to see her gutted.
Keevalroy2 votesI love Akali, but I agree, once she's ahead she can steamroll an entire team if pinks / sweepers aren't brought to fight her, and that's not necessarily a healthy form of counterplay.
If anything, maybe her Q procs could do less damage, her W ONLY giving her stealth, her E getting a bit more power for wave clear, and her ult range/CD being reduced by a bit while keeping the reset. This is just an idea as a start, but she does need a rework.
FantasySniper1 votesI think one of her critical weaknesses is bad wave clear, so maybe she shouldn't get that. Otherwise good ideas.
