Oh, look, another nerf to akali that isn't going to fix anything.

The problem is that even her previous state was extremely terribely designed as well, but she wasn't nearly as popular. I think she needs some kind of mini rework similar to Kayle to bring her more in line, as the whole buff and gut thing is starting to get old.

So you want a champion that is just going to be pure shit and can't be balance that no one is going to play got it.

She is legit dogshit midlane now, probably still decent top and against melee champions in general

If we assume she is overpowered, then continuing to nerf her will eventually make her balanced.

The akali rework is on point with their design idea. A champion that preaches balance (kinda) that's not balanced.

Or, they stop beating around the brush and finally nerf the movespeed on the passive so she cant trade in and trade out with minimal effort.
