Again, they nerfed her...again...

Just saw the 10.3 patch on the main website, only to find Akali being nerfed once more. Her Q is more costly, the W I dont mind to much, but her R now locks onto champions. I haven't played the game to see if you can still use it to dash away, but god damn riot. Everyone knows that she is beyond saving at this point, why bother anymore? This nerf can be worked around but why care as to still nerf her? More so, she's on the main website as some sort of mascot (go there and you can see her in the skins portions and the assasin portion if they didnt change it yet) They over use her in songs like KDA and True Damage, which attracts potential players, only to see that akali isnt what she is in the songs. Seriously, revert her or stop bothering with her. [zombie-brand-facepalm]

Hilarious because by all statistical and factual measurements akali is garbage. Doesn't stop riot from making her even more of an unplayable dumpster tier mess. Don't worry though champs like MF with a 54 percent winrate and 30 percent pickrate get a flick on the wrist!

I guess Zed was right all along, "Balance IS weakness"

Honestly this was funny at first but now this is just getting annoying. Akali's problem is her kit design. No amount of numbers will save her and the only way to save her is a re-rework. As much as I don't want to be hard about Akali, she deserves to be in the gutter simply and I mean SIMPLY because of how toxic her kit is (and when she was new). No amount of strategic thinking (which is something I like to do) can keep her at bay, no amount of proper playing can outplay her and no amount of ways for the sake of "counterplay" is achieved because...you guessed it! How toxic her kit design is. She's a failure of a champion to my eyes. No matter how many skins she gets, or how many music videos she gets.

It's just sad, low, and poor.

Thank CertainlyToxic for making a champion that was known to be cancerous in the past infinitely more cancerous than she was before.

They're desperate to tone down her pro play presence, so they're (finally) hitting the things that affect pro play the most.

Now she can get buffs that actually benefit the 99% of us that don't play this game professionally.

I freaking used to loathe Akali with a flaming passion and I was laughing when the Akali mains were seething at the nerfs and changes. But now after seeing how many times Akali has been nerfed... I feel remorse. She isn't even a champion anymore she's in this weird limbo state and I don't know how Riot can fix her. I am so sorry Akalibros I am on your side now.
