Akali Rework is Disappointing.
So this post is going to be based off personal gameplay and reddit feedback on the new akali rework.
Akali is in shambles.
Insanely low win rate after the rework, and let me tell you why.
Riot altered her kit to give opponents counterplay opportunities. Thus doing things like giving Akali a flat 2 cooldown on her ult.. On top of a damage reduction on it - They might as well make it do 0 damage, since that's what it does late game. 0 damage.
(This makes it much harder to burst down squishies as you can't dance around as often..
).
Akali is honestly, useless late game now. She cant kill squishies, since she has no damage, her new rework makes her do 0 damage to turrets, she cant kill tanks, she simply lacks early game, late game, and only thrives for a short period of time mid game.
Champions like
and
have kits that enable them to kill squishies without counterplay, so we akali mains don't understand why it is akali getting the heavy nerfs for having "no counterplay".
Yes, I am fully aware she is receiving ratio buffs in the next update, but these ratio buffs will make no change on her performance. They are buffing the wrong parts of akali. Akali doesn't need more healing, she needs more damage.
Her early game is shit, (2 turret hits on a melee minion plus an akali basic attack wont kill the minion, neither will her Q in early stages of the game), her late game is shit, unlike
, her mid game is still below average....
God bless 
are shells of their former selves meanwhile
but overall I would say the Assassin update has been a pretty big letdown.
