Ryze has been the premier champion for broken in pro play and awful in solo q since forever. This rework has managed to make her more broken than Ryze in pro play and even worse than him in solo q. That's something I thought they would never be able to accomplish as long as Ryze was in the game. There comes a point where you either need to give up and revert it or try to make big changes to the kit to solve the problem. It seems that they are unwilling to do either as she's just continued to get nerf after nerf because her kit is fundamentally broken.

They wanted to rework her because her kit was bad for the game, but they managed to create a kit that is a hundred times more problematic than the previous one. They've already taken away her heal and stealth against turrets and have nerfed the shit out of her shroud and she continues to be problematic. I'm sure it sucks for pro players to have her be 100% p/b all the time and it's even worse for Akali mains because they are left with a champion that's super bad and also feels awful to play. I'm gonna go ahead and say that this is the most broken rework that they have done to date.

These nerfs are a real kick in the face to her remaining players. I can't really think of anything else to say for this poor champion. They clearly just don't care anymore and I doubt they ever will again.

She is 10 times healthier and 1000 times more fun now, i don't even know what you are saying, she is really strong too currently but i fear for dmg nerfs because if she is not fed her burst is really not that great considering that is very slow compared to other assassins.

Someone doesn't remember Shen

To talk about the rework, I agree with you however Riot wants modern champions to be high skillcap

Akali Irelia Camille Aatrox

there are a lot of champions who were nerfed for being high skillcap champions

Oh I remember your name, and I feel so bad for you cause I know you've been an Akali fan since way before CertainlyT turned her into Ryze 2.0 :(

Here’s the difference. Ryze is punishable. Akali is not.

Akali has 3 unconditional dashes. If at any point you ever die on this champion under any circumstance, it is 190% your fault.

Difficulty is irrelevant when safety is that high
