Riot you've finally managed to balance Akali!

Akali Shadow Dance (R) range reduced to 700 from 800

Oh wait this is just another slap on the wrist nerf that will do absolutely nothing.

It amazes me that you'll be delicate as a feather trying to nerf an overpowered no counterplay champion and yet take the hammer totally demolishing balanced champions who actually have counterplay.

Stop with these bullshit nerfs and gut her damage.

Such a well thought out and productive thread. What's next, are you going to ask them to delete Teemo?

Do you actually understand how the balance team operates, or do you just care about champions who kill you being nerfed into a useless state so you never have to see them again?

Feel free to look at her ban rate.

Sorry that you're still used to banning Amumu and Blitz in Bronze.

Nice insult bro.

Anyone who thinks gutting a champion is a good idea needs to rethink their opinion on what balance is. Everyone admits that she's at the very least a bit strong, and at most completely broken, however the goal here is BALANCE, not nerfing. If you can't accept that perhaps you should avoid the balance section of these boards.

You clearly dont understand the terms you're using or otherwise you're a totally twit.

The only way to achieve balance on a champion thats too strong is to nerf them, so yes that is the goal.

Do you understand the difference between nerfing and gutting? Don't ignore your own words in an attempt to win the argument.

Good.

The goal is balance, not nerfing. We have to nerf in order to achieve balance, but nerfing is not the goal.

I do not agree with Akali being overpowered because of the fact that she can become useless very quickly, though i agree with the fact that they completely crush champions that have obvious counterplay and kiss Zed and Lee good night. On the lips! On the lips . . .

Akali is a very delicate champion to balance - overnerf her and she is useless, overbuff her and she will become Kassadin 2.0.

Since Akali is an assassin, she is supposed to do a lot of damage. And Rito said in the past that her kit is core to her identity, so that remains intact as well.

The most recent patch was actually Awful for akali. Her winrate dropped by 10%. the should have addressed spell vamp instead.

it needs to be lower than the range on flash so that she can't just R to you immediately again if you flash away from her.
