Akali item 3146 So Akali has been banned so far, about 70% ban rate since she is too broken. Ya, I played her and played old akali more and Akali is really fun , however I think this Akali is by far too broken. I get annoyed when people ban her, however I know she is too broken so I'm here to share my opinion. The Cons: Does too much damage, tower dives you with her W, and a lot of outplays/sustain. The Pros: Decent ult cooldown ( I think it should have a shorter range on the execute by 10%), Fun to play, Good Late Game to make the game last longer if team is behind) Akali has more cons that can tilt people easily which I don't want. Also, it is harder to lock in her in champ select due to the fact that diamond players ban her for a good cause. This "Akali" has a bad side on either way. If the enemy chooses Akali, you will be tilted, and its the opposite if you or your ally chooses Akali, unless you don't even know how to play her. I want riot to remove her turret diving W, which is too broken. The stun is pretty dumb to be honest because you can just E and then the enemy is dead unless he/she CC her before she even has a chance which is pretty unlikely. There are more champions that are broken, however Akali has the highest ban rate. Old Akali was a bit more balanced. She had more counters and you can punish her easily. New Akali is different because you can punish the enemy for CS or miss a skillshot. Old Akali didn't do as much damage without her Q. New Akali can just 100-0 you with her ultimate. So there are 2 reasons Riot reworked Akali: Unhealthy champion or a champion that destroys everyone due to her Q damage. Akali can be countered before her rework since her W didn't make her immune to turrets. What are you opinions? Do you think she should be reverted with average damage so she doesn't get reworked, buffed, or nerfed again, reworked again with balanced damage, or nerf reworked Akali's damage?

Even if she was reverted she should still atleast keep the updated champion model and atleast part of the animations if nobody finds them ugly. (I assume you think this already but I didn't see it in that wall of text or mentioned in any of the options)

Akali wasn’t that champion what needed nerf.. she was decently, easy to counterplay he has bad early level 1-5 as range champ u should destroy her, a champs what really need reworks : singed,reksai,udyr,malphite they are from 473632727 years same, j4 too soo, for akali the only one good thing is revert with new badass aspect

Riot just added the new kda skin on Akali and they need to do everything again. Just to nerf her something like the shroud to not protect her from towers or her E to have range. Every Akali main will not like the revert I mean not every. I am an Akali main and I dont want her to be revert Akali just got reworked just wait some time for smarter ppl to think of a counter play. :) PLS DONT REVERT AKALI THE OLD ONE WAS SHIT

Akali Thank you for your opinions and ideas. Sadly, they are probably only removing her true stealth or revert her. We don't know yet. Meddler, a riot employee says that 1/2 of the employees are deciding to remove her true stealth and 1/2 don't want to. Plus Akali in low elo has the lowest win rate but the highest ban rate. What is the point of not reverting her if you don't know how to counter her if she gets banned like 72%. Akali can sometimes outscale her counter at late game so riot is deciding to make her a little more balanced or revert her. I know that you like the new Akali, but I think old Akali was op enough. I played old Akali on my disabled account for 3 years then quit. During the Assassins rework, if you just have your passive up, after the 1st auto, combined with the revolver and your mark. You just instantly kill them with ignite with a tick of hp. The splash art is gorgeous, I want riot keep that with a few different weapons they come up with. Also, Akali can also be reworked againand not be reverted, I'm not sure. Akali has been reworked 5 times since her release after 2010, May 11th. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHz-34hKbLA [sg-lulu]

plzz revert akali, she was so cool champ. Riot wants to keep the game alive, so they change champs that people used to love. Old akali was so amazing and she was more balanced imo. No one banned her because she wasnt a threat. Now all ban her because she is considered as one of the most broken champs. We want old akali back , adjusting her kitAkali
