Akali Rework

The Turd Taker··1 votes·284 views

I've always loved Akali and it's horrible what's been done to her , I've always heard people complaining about her and how op she is , but even before she was destroyed by her nerf she was easily countered by cc or a quick focus and pinks. As an Akali player I loved her mobility , the ability to slip in and out ( like any other assassin "Zed" "Le Blanc" "Fizz" and so on ) while being able to do tons of damage in a short amount of time. With Akali's current gameplay she feels heavy , slow and takes a long amount of time to deal damage. Her ultimate's range was reduced to the point where she can get cc'd by almost any champion that has cc and shortening escape routes , engage and disengage time . And the most ridiculous thing was removing the E proc on her Q making her E a short range aoe skill that doesn't even make sense being in her kit anymore. It was fun before to be able to hit someone over a small wall or a slight distance away in any direction this allowed distance in melee champions and give an instant burst but now you just fly in wait for the auto attack animation and then die . I'm hoping someone can make Akali who she once was , she had her strengths but was also weak , her strengths outweighed her weakness but now she has no strength . Bring back her abilities maybe tuning down the ap scaling or the resets on her ultimate or something other than that horrible lack of synergy with the Q and E and the tiny range ult that makes her so slow and useless . I never mentioned her shroud because it seems like a bonus skill allowing her to be sneakier and remove focus, for me this ability could be completely removed as the nerf and I wouldn't really blink because now you really depend on the shroud since it takes so long to do damage and escape. This is all my personal opinion and I'm just a casual player. Please help bring back Akali. I also appreciate criticism against anything I said Akali

If anyone more literate than me who feels the same way could write a better post it could help the cause.

I'm an akali main and I don't actually mind the changes all that much. With her e no longer procing her mark I buy lichbane much earlier (there were gmaes when I didn't even buy it before her changes) than usual which boosts my dueling potential and early game damage. Her ult nerf does suck but at lvl 11 it is the exact same as it was before the nerf so you can still cary into the late game. The range change keeps me from making stupid plays (like early turret dives) and with her shroud giving speed it isn't super hard to get in range when I need to (or get some move speed runes). Just think her ult could have the same range as kassadin's ult at all levels.
