Akali

Twin Disciplines (Passive) - [reworked into a two hit passive] Now gives Akali's next two attacks bonus effects then goes on cooldown. First strike restores 10-170 (+70% bonus AD) health. Her second strike (within 4 seconds) deals 14-70 (+45% AP) magic damage. Cooldown is 8-5 seconds based on level.

Twilight Shroud (W) - Now teleports Akali to cast location and leaves a shroud where she was before. Range = 250 Cast time increased to .35 from .25 Duration changed to 4/5/6/7/8 seconds from 8 seconds at all ranks

Crescent Slash (E) - Cooldown changed to 5/4.5/4/3.5/3 from 5/4/3/2/1 Damage changed: NEW: [70/100/130/160/190 (50% AP)(70% Bonus AD)] OLD: [30/55/80/105/130 (40% AP)(60% total AD)

Shadow Dash (R) - Damage changed to 50/100/150 (+25% AP) from 100/175/200 (+50% AP) Cooldown changed to 2 second at all ranks and is no longer affected by CDR from 2/1.5/1.

All of this feels like a nerf as I have seen countless times on PBE threads but I cannot discuss there.

her passive. I do not think should have a coll down on it if we have to rely on it for damage now.

her w. I UNDERSTAND the thought, but can we PLEASE make it cast as it did or atleast cast in a similar fashion to viktors laser, the start be the shroud and the end be the spot akali dashes to within the shroud. please? From what I have been reading this change is very clunky. Also with the smoke duration low it takes away a lot of the use INCLUDING waiting out that 8 second cool down on 2 aa's .-.

her E. fine.. but I agree.. can we have it proc.. the q.. I do not see in any version of this current kit and numbers that Akali is going to be good at all anymore.. and shes my Go-To if I want to play an assassin....

R.. can we atleast get some range to compensate or something? and 2 seconds? She is already hard to use at level 1 ult for anything meaningful than ONE delete.. so why make it harder later in the game... at the VERY least maybe make her dashes be on a better ammo system OR maybe give us a full reload upon kills. something that actually helps...

This rework is just missing something major or trying too hard.... all the other reworks seem to actually be pretty decent. this one seems to be the mark you guys missed HARD.

It is the first draft on PBE but I have to agree that this is not a good state.

Does she play like akali? Yes but only if you have played akali with 1000 ping.

She is not quick and reactive enough anymore.

Why do I get the feeling Tank Akali is gonna be meta again...

Crescent Slash (E) - Cooldown changed to 5/4.5/4/3.5/3 from 5/4/3/2/1 Damage changed: NEW: [70/100/130/160/190 (50% AP)(70% Bonus AD)] OLD: [30/55/80/105/130 (40% AP)(60% total AD)

High base damage, low cooldown... plus:

Twin Disciplines (Passive) - [reworked into a two hit passive] Now gives Akali's next two attacks bonus effects then goes on cooldown. First strike restores 10-170 (+70% bonus AD) health. Her second strike (within 4 seconds) deals 14-70 (+45% AP) magic damage. Cooldown is 8-5 seconds based on level.

Healing every few seconds...
