Riot, you guys need to revert Akali's W.

To be fair, her damage and sustain are way too high, but those aren't the only things that make her busted. The number one reason why Akali is so busted is because of her W. Her W actually has no counter play. This "obscure" mechanic is literally game breaking. If you're not going to revert it, at least make is that it grants her invisibility like it used to.

Would support that but then please with pre Rework numbers and blink and adjustments to her Q Energy costs.

When i heard that Akali is gonna get a rework I was so happy. I thought: Finally, Riot decided to get rid of her w mechanic-the most problematic part of her kit. You can only imagine the look on my face when I found out that her w actually got more problematic after the rework. She can practically decide when to fight and when to dissengage. When you are laning against her you can do shiet. She just disappears....Like someone said...its not about numbers, its all about kit toxicity.

Buy sweeper lmao. And have you played akali a lot? She NEEDS that w to disengage or SHE WILL die after going in for one second. Heck before, she could be revealed by leesin w and fizz r. And so many people can just kill her in her w with aoe such as anivia r kass r vlad e and countless others.

Yeah, no. Revert her W, and you now need to remove the delay on her burst, as she has no tools to ensure her safety while she sets up. Shes already the most fair assassin because of her w.

I think her shroud mechanic is unique but for Talos' sake nerf her sustain. She's impossible to kill once she has two items since she can fight, shroud to hide and heal, then run away. Even fizz is less annoying to play against than her.

does ignite even reveal her in the shroud?

The damage reveals her position but you can't click on her.

I hate the fact that it costs no Energy - no wait, it RESTORES ENERGY, more than the "true stealth" mechanic, to be honest.

The problem I have with it is that she attacks and she's almost immediately gone again. Let her be risky and give her atleast 2 seconds of visibility after she attacks or something like that...

It has always been .65 secpnds...

yoshi27901 votes

I think that's way too little. You move your cursor over to her and she's gone again, it's extremely difficult and frustrating trying to target her...

Terozu2 votes

Then why weren't you complaining before the rework?

yoshi27901 votes

Because before the rework you could see her through ignite, pink wards or things like lee sins e and q etc...

And who says I didn't complain about this before the rework? Like you would know if I did or didn't...

Just yesterday I managed to land a spear on her in her fog thingy and then kill her with an AoE ability. So maybe there's a bit of counterplay...

I think she needs to be reverted, she is problematic both for akali mains and players playing against her, before her rework she at least had a 50/100 wr and a small but dedicated group of players playing her while not many players were complaining about her.
