Seriously giving Akali TRUE stealth?
Towers and True Sight abilities/ultimates cannot reveal her?
Well, I know who I'm perm banning when her rework goes live.
I seriously didn't think CertainlyT could do any worse than Zoe....
Here's the video -

Ayy the leak was right.
"Very unfair, no counterplay, people will cry for nerfs"
CertainlyToxic at it again.
About time CertainlyT stops designing champions.
Yasuo, Zoe, this new Akali… the guy only designs gamebreaking weird things with 0 care about game balance.
You can go to enemy fountain and not get revealed.
Also did you see that dash range? As big as camile's lol..
Akali mains are starting to downvote us!
Well that mobility looks so fun to play against. I guess even the “stay a screen away” tactic won’t work anymore. Thanks CertainlyT!
Just watched the video and HOLY S#*#!!! This may be the most broken champ (on paper) They've made since the beta!
A true stealth, manaless, hybrid damage, self sustaining, "melee", burst assassin who has more mobility then Yasuo and Ekko combined!?
She even has a tiny amount of hard cc!
Looks like riot had really learned their lesson about power budgets...
Edit: Just watched the teaser trailer and no, towers, pinks and fountain DON'T reveal her... This is not cool. This champion is VERY unhealthy in this form!
Again though, I'm just looking at her on paper. She may pop like a bubble at the slightest prick, or have much longer cool downs then I'm imagining. I had similar thoughts the first time I saw Kai'sa's Ult; I figured it would have a much shorter CD. Even still... THIS is worse, this could become a balancing nightmare!
Wtf. True invisibility? Good thing I'm barely playing anymore LOL
After reading comments :
Oh it's from CertainlyT? AHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHA ok bye, nice job keeping this guy
Going to perma ban her as long as towers don't reveal her. She will be way too good at tower diving, even in early levels.
If they release this I am finally quitting league.
Stealth, insane mobility, high sustain, oneshots after lvl 6..why every new champion/rework has to be like this now?
She isn't fully released yet so hopefully Riot will make it into normal stealth.
She'll be permaban if they release her with that true stealth. If she we can't suppress an assassin then there's a no counterplay. Also this dash range and this damage? This is not serious.
More cancerous mobility
I think it needs to have more counter-play. I watched the video a few times and it is not going to work out. There is going to be too much outcry, especially if she is overpowered. Whether they decide to keep it or not, she is either going to be hated soo much like Yasuo or she is going to be banned every game. The Developer walks a very fine line between what is fair and unbalanced. Having permanent stealth is not balanced and fair to play against. At least with Eve you can see where she is.
Even if they add it to where it only gives a faint silhouette like the other assassins every couple secs inside of it, that is more balanced than straight up perma stealth. Perma stealth didn't work on Eve a few years ago and the entire stealth rework a few years ago was done for a reason. It's not fun to play against something you cannot kill or see . . . especially if the defensive itemization is bad as is.
Well, she definitely feels fun to play, but obviousLee, she'll be fucking cancer. Like everything CT makes.
People on GD never learn... Dont cry OP/UP until a week or two post release to live.
Fountain doesn't reveal her either from what I seen in playtest.
You can literally put down shroud and walk around in their fountain.
i know who im maining when her rework goes live hehe xd
Didnt those fucks reworked assassins so that they need to use their brain in order to kill you? why rework her and make her even stronger and on top of that make her combo even faster ?
Seriously what were you fucking expecting 
A high burst assasin with stealth + jump resets being reworked by CertainlyT th creator of easy balanceable champs like
I have a burning hate for akali more than anyone on these boards but you're really complaining about something that isn't even in the game yet on a reworked champ.
Meh, it's limited to a specific area so it makes sense that it would be stronger than other champions' invisibility. At least we can track where she is, not like Kha'Zix or Shaco who could be anywhere as soon as they vanish. I've also heard that they heavily nerfed the shroud duration.
I like how cool the kit looks... I don't like how she seemingly can ignore towers.
Yet another champion who can endless dive without any way to stop them.
Hello Permaban.
Really? It doesnt seem that bad to me, certainly preferred to current shroud and other invis abilities.
lol. She would be more viable in twisted treeline, hate arcane sweeper
I'm sure you are still able to use red trinket to locate her and land skillshots that way.
Dude i feel so bad for Professor Akali. I know he didn't meant to leak her, but i'm sure his relations with RIOT HQ is soured because of this. On another note, Akali may be the new Yasuo if she's released as is. (90% Ban rate lol) [sg-soraka]
Reminder that this footage is like 3 months old in literal test servers. If the true invisibility makes it through this, and the pbe, and then into live I'll be shocked.
