Revert Akali

10.3 Akali changes is not good, i agree something has to be done, but this change will gut her to the ground. Her winrate is not even good, 46% on all ladders, thats not good it isn't... So instead of gut her why not just rework her, because its too hard to balance her kit.

BRING OLD AKALI BACK!

Ps. bring back the old design too, i dont like the new ;)

It's almost like old Akali was actually nerfed and banned less than current Akali or something. Even during the time where she was at her most powerful, her ban rate peaked between 30 and 40%, compared to now where her highest peak is near enough 70%.

They took a kit that was well known to be toxic and unhealthy, and somehow in their infinite wisdom made it **EVEN MORE ** toxic to the game. At this point, everyone is tired of her. Akali mains are tired of her being nerfed every other patch with absolutely zero effort to actually attempt to fix her problems. Everyone else is tired of playing against her infuriating kit.

Riot really should actually rerework her and keep her current visuals. It's patently obvious Riot cannot balance her and her kit is inherently broken, to the point where even when Riot's broken her legs for most of the playerbase, she remains pick or ban in competitive.

i miss old eve and dislike new eve. old eve was basically the reason i even started to get in to this game.

i wish they would revert all the major reworks. its basically like they deleted entire champions from the game forever. which kinda sucks when you liked the old version a lot better...now i have skins i bought for a champ that doesn't even exist anymore. it feels quite unfair to be honest.

yes, just delete the reason people play your game after they pay you money.. sounds like good long term business sense to me.

i mean i cant see why this line of doing things would ever create toxic/salty people...

but hey,at least you confirmed what i suspected that the reworks main goal is to get rid of thing riot doesn't like.. rather then for the better of said champ and the people that DO play them and like them.

Yes but make her E her current Q and make her Q the current E except without the dash, everything else revert back to old Akali. Keep her new visuals too and give her a skin with her old long hair (they can't do it on the current iteration of Akali because she pops in and out of stealth too much so it's hard to distinguish who she is so they had to give her a unique silhouette).

Then introduce a new champion with her current passive but a more balanced trade pattern.

Everyone is happy

even tho the old was annoying. at least she was weak pre 6. so im down for that. and the design too, tattoos are dumb.
