Revert some of Akali's buffs or nerf her tank build.

Many Akali are going tank build item 3146 item 3068 item 3065item 3001 item 3026 where she deals insane damage and healing like Ekko to take about other squishy champion but with the slippery playstyle like Fizz to survive the juggarnaut or super tank champions/supports. They rush item 3068 or a item 3065 as first item depending on the matchup, get item 3146 (the core item), and then straight up ignore damage.

Akali was at an okay spot when the assassin update was released(6.22 patch notes). But then, Akali got worst. By worst, I mean she gotten buff 3 times 6.23 - E ap ratio and ad ratio increased, W has less energy cost, passive healing increase, bonus ap and ad ratio increased 6.24 - Passive can now proc on towers, inhib, etc 7.2 - R ap ratio and ad ratio increased.

I thought 2 buffs was enough, but when her ult got buff, even its just a 10-15% damage. People began building her tanky. I know barely everyone plays Akali, but making her build something like a Fighter champ like Garen Jax but with a Leblanc and Fizz mobility feels wrong.

Akali full tank is very rarely played since the nerf to titanic in s6. Akali glasscannon is played pretty often but isnt very good due to the fact that she is weak and will get cucked if the enemy team has good positioning.

Only really viable build for akali is ap bruiser where you build gunblad into ap with 2 or 3 tank defensive items.

Akali was played in the eu cs recently. Notice how in that game she was 0/0/0 30 minutes in and was splitting top all game. She's just not as good as an assassin anymore.
