keep this short akali is getting gutted in 9.3 she will be a terrible champion. can we please just get an akali revert idk how hard that would be to incorporate with the vgu but shes going to be unplayable now.she seems impossible to balance a revert seems like the best option
I just wanted to say one thing
Prestige akali has passed, it is time to motivate people to play other champs with skins (wink prestige vayne)...so akali is getting overnerfed so much nobody asked for...removing shroud against tower cool, dat 2 sec cd increase cool, everybody agreed that shroud was too strong...but that removing of heal on Q is just a clear overnerf on ritos side meant to push you to play champs which have currently skins coming out
It only means that you don't get to win the game in champ select anymore. Anyway, if she's too weak after the next patch maybe she'll get a buff in 9.4
She'll be fine once they figure out that she needs sustain early to survive midlane, if they remove it she will only be played toplane. Idc if she heals off her Q or not, attach it to her passive like before, but they shouldn't just remove her heal altogether.
I don't want her reverted, even though I loved the old Akali, this Akali is definitely healthier, she was mainly just disliked due her obscure mechanic. Once they remove it and buff some numbers she'll be in a pretty balanced state.
Don't remove the heal, Riot. Move it to another ability or something but she needs some form of sustain.
The current Akali can be fixed, once the power is removed from the oppressive/overloaded portions of her kit. It can return to the rest of her kit. She is a sustain damage assassin, that needs to us shroud to be effective. When the nerfs are attached clear windows of weakness are visable, she cannot auto sustain, and you have a place to stay safe from her. She will be much healthier.
This is coming from a somewhat high elo plat1/d5. I just played a game and i was gutted by an orianna. Even with the hp per 5 increase with doran shield. Were at 11hp per 5 meaning 2.2 a sec. Constant punish and pressure from a d4 orianna. Made me furious. I was down 30cs at 7min... 36 vs 63. What the actual fuck???? I mean i get the match up is hard but no healing plus increase cooldown on w??? Are riot employees fucking stupid??? Like are they missing a link in the head? Sorry for my language but im frustrated as fuck right now. Im so fucking piss i had to let it out here. It wasnt fun at all. I manage to survive but my transition to late was complete garbage. Thanks riot. Thank you for understanding the game. Nerfing akali when her avg win rate is 43% plat+ from champion.gg
From an Akali main, I understand the frustration of players getting annoyed by her ability to tower dive without getting hit by tower shots. Knowing that her shroud would get nerfed, I tried to play more without her shroud, but now that her Q spell healing has been removed, she's just not viable anymore. You're getting poked to death by any sort of mages and can't heal back off minions. You can't even try surviving minion aggro after a trade. I don't mind the W nerf, but please bring back the healing on her Q, or at least just diminish the healing.
you need to be a real D-word to even imagine removing her heal from Q
