Akali and Aatrox got gutted because of pro play

Akali didnt get gutted she got tuned down, and is STILL a problem, because the issue isnt her numbers, its her no-counterplay, extremely safe, kit.

Yes the most played top laner for patches in all elos was nerfed for ONLY pro play sureeeeeee

Good, the less reworks get played, the better for the rest of us.

They got gutted because they weren't fun to play against and could 1v2 sometimes more than that with ease even in the hands of inexperienced players

Akali is still painful to lane against. I agree with you on Aatrox though. Imo, Aatrox could easily be one of the most balanced champions because of how much counterplay his kit offers.

?

Akali isn't gutted, her numbers are just really weird. There's way too much power in R and it has an insane cooldown. Q, E, and Passive are very lackluster. W is kinda fine, people still don't like playing against it though.

I wouldn't mind if Riot lowered the Ult by 20 seconds for a damage decrease on R2. Her laning pattern is becoming more and more like old Akali where you're useless without ult but now it feels worse since the insane CD.

Pretty much. I made a thread about Aatrox, got downvoted because I said that he needs the 9, 18 nerfs reverted, then Riot themselves admitted it was too much. The only time Aatrox was a real b*tch was when his ult was an instant revive. He could deny a perfect play with a press of a button. They removed that and he became fine with a bit of tweaks. Then they started gutting him due to pro play. And now he has 47 percent WR at best- worldwide.
