Akali Nerf Short Rant

I mean, you could've just kept on nerfing her damage, raising her cooldowns, and what not. Or add a new invis mechanic to make things different.

But instead you're just destroying her stealth just like you did in the past when her invisibility could be countered with nothing more than a pink ward.

Against a champion like Maokai, Akali is literally going to play with 3 spells. Or 2 depending on whether or not the ult is up. Why does anyone expect us to have fun playing with a 2 spell champ? It's not even about whether or not she's broken, or overnerfed. Why would anyone play a champion that has only 2 spells?

Whatever. Pretty sure no one in the balance team actually plays Akali.

I really wish Riot would admit that she needs another major rework. It's pretty clear that whatever they were aiming for failed and it's impossible to get her balance right at any elo.

My biggest worry is that riot didn't learn from her at all. Meddler really needs to start doing his job and reign in the designers.

In an alternate universe, Riot re-reworked Akali and balanced her.

Yeah the balance team plays only Ahri Lux Katarina LeeSin Fizz Kassadin and Yasuo it seems... i mean yeah is is annoying and can be strong, but she is harder to play than many other champs and she already got many nerfs. more nerfs than the guys above.

Oh trust me when I say that they most certainly play Akali or she would not have been left like this

Why would anyone play a champion with three spells? Doesn't Aphelios exist?

Her shroud is what makes akali so unfun to play against. The fact that if she gets CC'd then she just returns to her shroud like nothing happened is what people dont like about playing against her. People like Yi, Vayne and Yasuo all get completely shut down by hard CC, so why shouldnt Akali?

A lot of champions playing against akali only really get to use one or two skills. Welcome to why everyone hates her.

Idk why you think akali deserves special treatment.

Akali NEEDS these nerfs. If you player her for 2k+ hours you can beat most ANYONE of your skill lvl.

She is a TOXIC design. Same as Yasuo but actually worse. Her Safety, Mobility and Damage is just flat out toxic to the game Health.
