Thanks Riot

Came back from a year long hiatus (pun not intended) and play my favorite champ akali to discover a neat little fuck you Riot added in.

Yes, I'm talking about Q no longer being proc'd by E. Thanks for removing that harass synergy. E has no synergy in her kit now and only stands to wave clear when adds build up, which is neat but again _ you removed the synergy._

Would appreciate it if you could point me in the direction of who decided this, so I can send them a fuck you back, friggin douche.

she now takes a bit more skill now you actually have to auto attack wow what a concept i never thought akali would have to do that. Dude its not that hard to Q then hit them once im sorry you dont get free harass off for doing nothing you could say the same thing about zed but for his you have to use his only escape which is his W but akali gets to save hers.

You completely miss the point. She has a DEAD SKILL NOW.

E is utterly useless now. She has a kit of 3 spells now, what champion has a kit of 3 spells other than akali?

it still does damage and is on a low cd they either took the proc with her E away or nerfed her damage because when they did that her dps was so bad that you could kill the adc in 2 kits and her win rate and pick rate was way to high so they took it away and she went back down to what she should be

She was broken as fuck before. Then she was less toxic to the game. Then she got incredible Thunderlord's Synergy. Quit your fucking whining.

Akali got OP again, so they had to nerf her because she was so damn easy to play with such little skill requirement.

The only thing making Akali feel bad to play now is the 5.9 strike-through change that they added in thinking that it will "help" her - it didn't, it just made her ult speed slower thus making her feel more clunky to play.

Akali is already getting confirmed to get a rework this year about halfway + this year along with an assassin update, so you'll have to wait til then, the new Akali kit will be so much better with more skill expression.
