Akali nerf a bit too far?

Remus Wins·Jan 25, 2015·7 votes·1,840 views

Well, Akali is my favorite champion(no hate), and seeing the double nerf, I think it's a bit too much. I was like well it's going to be OK when I saw the range nerf for ultimate, but the E Q combo nerf is just too much, it is a core combo for her, a lot of times you can't reach the enemy with an auto attack and you need to explode it with E, it's also good for farming, I really think the E nerf should definitly NOT happen, if you want to nerf her at least only do the range thing, or reduce the damage a bit again...

She will be not viable after that nerf, trust me. I played 2000 games just with Akali, more than all other heros together. Im sick of explaining why. These nerfs are HUGE, but players that only play against Akali will never understand... I will switch to Vladimir.

+1 such a stupid change, even by riot standards

her E isnt an AA reset so she cant do the double q proc anymore

she cant proc her q anymore if she's blinded...teemo will shit on her...perhaps this is a secret buff to teemo and more will come to make him the most op champ in the game...

I all-ined a ziggs at level 6 and 100-0'ed him in my last game with just boots. Carried the game going 22-9 (I think was the final tally) she's still as strong, you just have to play a little more careful.

The point is, you have 3 ult charges. If you are not in range to auto attack for the Q then you need to play your ults better. I do not see why she gets to ult you THREE times and if you still get away she can E to pop her Q. This makes her less face roll and I like it.

holyshit THATS THE POINT pretty sure the idea was to make her Q harder to proc ur already all point click wtf, you cant possibly go wrong ontop of that, press "e" in the general vicinity of the marked target... too easy...

we cant give the likes of akali or fizz or zed easy farming fuq that, you guys are exceptionally good at 1 v 1 assassinating squishies, oh look... you spend all lane with 1 squishy.... thats your strength, and for that you gotta give up that EZ farm, how else are we gonna stop you, we cant duel you as it is, thats suicide

the nerf isnt too much riot gutts her intentionaly because her kit is toxic either she has enough power to threaten you and gets insanely powerfull just by clicking to deal damage or she doesnt have that power and she sucks

riot needs to rework her with aim of making her more interactive right now she either eats you and becomems unstoppable or she doesnt and dies trying and all she does is just clicking on you or pressing a button to get the effect

i think she should get more. The silly little nah nah nah u cant hit me bubble is pretty obnoxius to deal with even without the other added effects it has

A month after the nerf I must say it has completely screwed her over. Most people have stated everything that is wrong with it, but i wish to state the fact that if the q&e combo is too strong then why does Kat still have hers? You could argue Kats kit is just as op as Akali but you never hear anyone bitching about it. The only reason people always attacked Akali was because of her ult which has been nerfed and was a good nerf. I just find it contradictory to ult her combo and not Kats.
