Akali q cd greatly increased however when she procs it/when the target dies, it refunds a percentage of the cd.

I don't agree with this. Akali is already the weakest assassin in the current meta, and I know that because I frequently play her. Nerfing her any more than she already is will hurt her significantly. Also, she doesn't need a longer cool-down, as her Q alone does not do very much damage (at level 18, your Q does around 150-200 AP dmg). It also is limited to her energy bar, she cannot spam them without hitting the target or she runs out of energy quickly.

Literally the ONLY way Akali has kill pressure is if she preps a mark on you, and then waits for CD before going it. She has NOTHING if she cant do that.

Can you pls use your brain before suggesting balance changes for a champion that you don't play? That would do nothing but ruin her for mid lane and push her even more towards top lane than she already is. It's WAY easier to proc Q on melee top laners than it is on the ranged mid laners. So why would you suggest they punish her for not being able to proc her Q?

It's not like she isn't already penalized enough for throwing a Q and not proccing it. Only about 25% of the Q damage is from the mark, the other 75% is from PROCCING the mark. So your suggested nerf literally makes 0 sense. If she can't proc her q you want her to lose out on damage, the energy refund, and on top of that have a longer cooldown? Lmfao yeah ok.

And then you have champions like Kassadin, Panth, and Vladamir who literally just get to sit in lane and spam their Q off of cooldown for FULL damage.

Kassadin's Q: has more range, a faster missile speed, can interrupt channeled abilities, grants him a magic damage shield. Deals FULL damage without him having to walk in melee range and proc a mark.

Pantheon's Q: faster missile speed, lower cooldown, can crit for bonus damage on low health targets. Deals ALL of it's damage without him having to walk up in melee range and auto attack.

Vladimir's Q: We all know how broken this ability is but I'll elaborate anyway. Damage, on top of a heal, on top of a movespeed buff and even more damage and healing every 3rd Q. ITS FREE TO CAST LITERALLY DOESN'T COST HIM ANYTHING BUT THE COOLDOWN. And guess what? He doesn't have to walk up into melee range and proc a mark for it to do all of it's damage.

So remind me again why on Earth you are going out of your way to complain about Akali's Q. The most balanced ability in her ghetto kit.
