Don't get me wrong: Akali had it coming. But why gut her healing? Now with her healing gone, Akali has lost all of her health sustain and laning is so much harder... like seriously, they could've nerfed how much it healed rather than completely removing it. Or maybe im just very ass at her 
idk lol
Like 38% winrate. Riot couldve just buffed her E damage + R CD and passive MS duration, at the same time, but they held off on it. Just wait, Akali goes back to being a champion soon.
Still waiting on 
Q to have base damage by the way! Literally 0 damage rank 1 :) Not playing this fuggle game or buying skins until this is fixed.
They did it because she needed a time in the game where she's weak, and has a chance for the enemy to counter and abuse. Now her lane phase is weaker, giving her opponent time to actually fight her before she gets her first item which is usually always 
. With that said, maybe it was a bit overkill for her healing to be completely removed but she did need some form of weakness.
