As far as I'm seeing from the Akali mains subreddit, they're willing to trade Obscurity under turret if they're allowed to burst you faster. Is this what the people desire?
Should Akali universally burst people faster and easier as a trade off for her early game dives not being protected from enemy turrets by her W anymore?
SUPERSATANA8 votesIs the whole "invisibility" concept to be super toxic and untifun. The "tower protection" is just an added problem, but that mechanic is innately stupid. Is not about being OP or not, is just not fun to play against that kind of stuff.
chipndip12 votesShe's had it before, regardless.
So you're basically just saying "Screw this champion on a base level".
SUPERSATANA1 votesShe's had it before, regardless.
Was better, and STILL a very toxic skill to have.
chipndip12 votesSo I take it you hate Vayne with a burning passion?

I think the whole concept of Vayne ult is really bad, yes. Again: not from a "OMG OP" point of view, pure gameplay prospective.

At least Vayne's stealth can still be targeted by turrets & doesn't last 4+ seconds from not moving/doing anything.
But it'll be actually toxic af if Riot pushes through the "50% cooldown reduction on Q during ult" changes.
Salron1 votesHonestly at the rate we're going it feels like Akali is gonna get the the rest of her kit gutted just to keep her tower obscuring Take the changes scruffy announced for example, Akali is 100% gonna need buffs after those yet the tower obscuring is still eating at her power budget
Imo they should just make it so you can AA her if your tower gives you vision of her in stealth BUT the tower cannot target her still I personally don't even give a shit about her true stealth under tower as is (I only wanted her restealth to take a little longer) but shes just getting hit with too many nerfs to keep that gimmick while still being playable
Infernape1 votesAt this point, they might as well remove it. She's going to keep getting nerfed for the sake of obscurity's existence.
chipndip11 votesBut remove it for her to more easily burst you in more situations?
Warlord Rhinark1 votesShe's an Assassin.
Her whole purpose as a champion is to burst squishies down as fast as possible.
So I'd say yes.
Netorare1 votesBut she already bursts pretty fast... Assassins should have a delayed burst if they have bullshit mobility and dmg, a good example would be kata. Riot shouldn't have listened to rengar and leblanc mains to get a revert, they were reworked for that 1 fucking reason because they were way too fucking bullshit to play against.
King Lego1 votesOkay let's see....stealth under turret while Akali can kill you unless you flash away or abandon turret? No thanks. She's an Assassin anyway. She is supposed to burst enemies fast.
She can already burst while turrets are nothing but guns without bullets.
So my answer? Yes. I'll take it. At least more counterplay. And that's coming from a mage main.
