So I've been thinking about akali recently and...

What if she were to be pushed to one of her kits extremes? Look I really enjoy Akali (I mean her neon KDA mask single handedly got me to download this game), but I feel like the root cause of her issues right now is the fact that she is a sustain assasain thing that can function for full burst with gun blade and lich bane and stay in a fight or go for things like tri force and death's dance and really be in the center of the fight. Either way she is still burst heavy with the former being more burst and the ladder being more sustain.

How would akali work if she was actually a bruiser, or only an assasain. If she were to have her damage ratios reduced to reduce her burst, and her execute and its dash removed from her ult. She could have higher health and mr/armor + extra per lvl, extra base damage, and reduced energy costs. If she were to be a full assasain she could have her cooldowns increased minus her ult so she could not have the sustain damage she has now, and she could have higher ratios or base ability damage.

These are just the first things that popped in my head, but I really feel like pushing Akali to be a bruiser or an actual assasain would greatly reduce the toxicity in her quite toxic playstyle.
