Can Akali get some buff to her ult cd? I'm not talking like 30 seconds here, even 60 seconds would be nice at level 3..

160/130/100

This is with an asinine 2.5 second delay before any real damage can be done with it. (Most people prime the 2.5 seconds on the first ult before getting into a fight because the first ult is literally a noob trap to get you killed).

2.5 seconds in a game where you can pop in .5 seconds easily..

Even if this means pushing her power around and nerfing a few other aspects I'm fine with it. Like adding a delay between Q's, etc.

Meanwhile:

Qiyana ult which does asinine damage has a straight 120 sec cd at all levels.

Tryndamere ult which has 110/100/90 second... literally by the time I hit lane I'm ready to go into undying rage again..

Zeds ult.. which can do more damage than even akalis even if you count the execute on Akali's ult, has an insane 120/90/60 second cd.....

like wtf?

Again regardless of how you feel about zed, he has an extremely safe and easy laning phase, even if you get pushed out you can easily farm with no problem, and while he has weaknesses akali has strength in, that ult duration compared to akali's is just stupid.

I could go on and on, but you get the point...

Again not asking for even zeds level of cd's, just something that allows akali to be able to fight in a fast paced game like league (since that's what you're pushing for anyway). Having to be gimped in damage in 2 teamfights because you fought a 3rd just a few minutes ago doesn't feel good, when literally every other assassin, and or high damage "just 1 shot you lawls" champs get literally half the cd of akali.

Hell even Evelynn which has a high damage execute ult has way better numbers than akali.... 140/110/80, and she gets nearly permanent invisibility roaming around...

Technically her ult has a chance of doing more damage than Akali's too even at max strength. (Though my math could be off, didn't crunch the numbers entirely).

Though her wide AOE on her ult allows her to easily hit everyone in a teamfight, where as Akali's is very very narrow, and can miss easily only hitting 1 or 2 out of 5.

No? I would rather stick cucumber up my ass lubeless than buffing Akali, you might be as well out of your mind, jesus.

As long as her W, Q, passive and conq stay as it is right now, her aggressiveness and lane control vs any melee from lvl1 won't change... And you would buff her... Might as well buff Irelia or Ryze...

While not necessarily untrue it's conditional dmg, based on how much the Zed deals while the mark is applied. That aside, Akali has a lot of sustained dmg for an assassin, too much of it in fact, with that in mind the longer cooldown is more then justified imo. She'll even find ways to kill someone without expending her ult often times, more often then others in her class is what I wanna emphasize on.

I can't say I agree with you. Akali is extremely fuckin obnoxious. If anything she needs some nerfs. She is too fuckin safe for the kind of damage she can put out.

With Zed, you can bait out his W and his Ultimate can be predicted if you take the time to observe. Akali though, is just so fuckin impossible to catch and she has zero problems catching you. Let her ultimate stay the way it is until they decided to cut down on how safe Akali is.
