For the love of Christ make Akali and Irelia more reliant on using their passives for damage already
Stop Irelia Q proccing on hits and just proc her passive so that she has to stop and auto attack during her combos so there's some time to maybe hit her back with any abilities.
Make akali reliant on hitting her passive more by reducing damage on her Q and E. The whole ring mechanic is really cool but there's just a point where she'll mash Q, then E - R and you die anyway.
If they're gonna have all this gap closing strength at least let the enemy have a moment to fight back. ESPECIALLY since they can negate damage very easily with their W's.
