Where does work on akali fit into the schedule for next year?

I have been waiting for Akali to be looked at ever since Riot quietly removed her from competitive play by not allowing crescent slash to proc her mark. Her win rate and play rate have not been that wonderful over the last 2 years but playing against her when ahead is almost impossible because of her mobility and sticking power. On the flip side she doesn't offer anything to the team when behind. I am only in silver and people in the lower Elos are smart enough to carry a pink ward around and eliminate her shroud advantage which in the case of other invisible champs isn't as big an issue because their stealth isn't confined to a visible circle. It just seems like her kit should be tinkered with and I know she didn't qualify for the assassin rework so maybe a Red will give us their opinion.
