Scrap everything

Scrap everything, and leave the counterplay-less, targeted, resourceless pile of bullshit alone to 100-0 everyone instantly while healing for more than Vlad ever did and now unable to be pinked out of her W?

No thanks.

Here's a thought...

...Scrap everything, then make Akali's Q a skillshot.

Boom. Akali's damage isn't all targeted anymore. Just like Riot's talked about doing since Season 2.

Or we can just leave Akali's damage all targeted. I'm sure cutting her scaling and forcing her to auto-attack multiple times per fight won't force her into rage-inducing tank builds or anything...

A skillshot Q wouldn't fix her, she isn't that great of a champ anyway.

No thanks.

Scrap nothing, and instead have a champion that can be counterplayed by literally everyone and everything, without trying.

Or they could leave her in her currently weak state until the full rework she has planned next year

let akali be pink warded and scrap everything. those stealth changes can go to hell, and so can her rework. both suck ass

I mean the stealth rework I think is fine, but the Akali rework either needs to be scrapped or seriously changed.

I mean, even if akali couldn't be pink warded, she wouldn't be utterly broken. But these changes guarantee she'll be weak AF even if her shroud was permanent.

I like her rework (because she's weaker now). BUT I would be willing to keep current Akali if they scrap those lame ass vision changes. Sloppy bastards don't understand the concept of counterplay.

She is ALREADY weak.... there is no need to make her weaker.

I believe you're doing "akali" completely wrong.

I mean... I wouldn't mind all that much if they scrapped Akali from the game but think of the SIDEBOOB man!

Nah, what she really needs is a 3-hit passive!

You could pretty much also say the same for the quite a few of the assassin reworks tbh.

Akali and Shaco are pretty extreme cases though. At least for Kat, Talon and Kaz I see mains in both sides of the fence. But I've yet to see an Akali and Shaco main enjoying the changes, at best you see them going wait-and-see, but NEVER actually supportive of them.

Very few people tend to be supportive of an already weak champion they play being utterly gutted and having their playstyle destroyed. Who'd have known?

It boggles the mind.

What exactly is wrong with Shaco's changes?

Here is a better idea - disable her untill VGU.

All they have to do is add AS bonus onto her passive and let the damage hit be first when above 75% HP... I

dk all the big crying over W though, compensation for pinks no longer revealing I'm hella fine with W not being castable at range.

The ulti nerf was justified though, it's going to keep getting her nerfed unless more conditions are added to it, them increasing the CD and lowering the damage was the right move for a placeholder fix. The only issue is so far doesn't feel like there's compensation for it. But if they'd just add the passive fixes I would feel that's enough compensation until her relaunch comes.
