Can we look at Akali

The champion is the combination of a diver and assassin with disgusting amounts of lane sustain with gunblade and her Q. She is allowed to be excessively tanky while bursting you with her kit.

She gets a free invisibility to go in and out of for over 8 seconds for safety until her cooldown is up and she gets to pick the fight every time at level 6. Winrate isn't an indication of healthiness.

I definitely know I'm not the only one seeing how horrid her laning phase is to experience. Not only does gunblade disabled you from running away, but her ult is a free chase for three times, a reset, and an escape tool. With her W, she basically gains no risk when engaging and can disengage with her ult after compromising her position significantly.

Typical divers go in and need to stay in the fight. For example, Diana is a good diver. She can burst you but she must stay in the fight. Akali? No. She gets no risk when fighting.

I don't mind her burst but pick between two options:

  • Have her as a squishy assassin who can freely go in/out
  • Have her as a tankish diver who cannot escape

Right now she has the best of both worlds and that's not acceptable.

Same with Ryze and Yasuo if we're going by your statement.

If you feel emotionally attached, I suggest you don't vent your emotions here.
