Akali's kit is really overpowered and needs to be tuned down

Ok. Compared to champions with 3 abilities in one like Ekko, Akali's kit is really oversatured and too powerful. Let's look at it:

Passive: This is calculated in a wrong way because formulas are hard. More info here: https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/37axdm/akalis_twin_disciplines_is_incorrectly_calculated/ The low bonuses she gets are really unfair to Akali's opponents since they can't assume them correctly thus fail to calculate her total damage output.

Q: > Nearly as slow as Anivia's Q which makes it really confusing or rather hypnotising. You focus so much on staring at that spining motion that you forget everyone else and get blown up. > Forces her to stick onto one target to deal most of her damage thus forcing whoever got hit by it to waste his flash in order to not get blown up. > Needs an AA to deal its full damage. Akali has scary 125 AA range which makes it really easy unlike for example champions like Leblanc that can trigger her Q by landing her really hard to land spells.

W: This is among the most oversatured spells in the game and the limitless number of advantages it provides really hurts my game experience if I'm against her. > The worthless Armor and MR were removed and replaced by deadly movement speed inside of the gigantic pool which makes skillshots really hard to hit her. > Since it's hard to damage her in again, that gigantic pool and with that immense ms, you have to buy vision which is really a waste of money in this game or force yourself to buy that never used item called Frost queen's claim.

E: > Doesn't proc her Q anymore which makes it harder for people to adapt to her new playing style. Even one full year after that terrible buff, I can't deal with her since when I'm against an Akali I really don't know what kind of combo to expect from her when she goes all in which is really unfair imo. > The cd is low and a 0.4 AP ratio is really crazy when you think about how cheap Akali's item build is. Some smart people will say: "it costs energy", I say that's the difference between bad and good Akali players. Try Energy quints on her, then say that again. > The damage it deals in a prolonged teamfight is way too high, especially against tanks.

R: > The range was reduced but it's still to high imo. > The mega ultra buff her R received last June which makes it predictable since she appears behind you after she uses it is waay too strong. It's really hard to hit someone when you know where they'll appear, I can't count how many pc mouses I've lost due to this. If only it was easier to spot than for example Talon or Katarina's blink E but seriously a dash? That's freaking hard.

So this is why Akali really needs to get nerfed hard as soon as possible oh and isn't she a bit too strong pre6 for being the strongest most reliable assassin after 6? Really riot...

Very much troll post i hope.

If Akali's R range was any lower it wouldn't be a dash anymore. Q is Akali's only real damage. Unless she's super fed. W is usless agasn't champs like ohh i don't know. Gangplank. Or any other champs that have AOE and finally her E is weak. You use it to farm minons and get a tiny bit more damage

your combo Q->R->Auto->E->Q->Auto the bubble and hope nobody has a pink ward. Or Q->Wait for 2.5 seconds->R->Auto->Q->Auto->E-> Bubble and hope nobody has a pink ward.

now let's take a look here. the second combo which let's be real here is REALLY hard to pull off unless the other person is stupid. So in reality you're going to get ONE combo in. Hope to GOD you killed someone. And then hope to GOD nobody has pinks because you're going to explode fast.

You wanna bitch about a assassin? Go cry about Zed/Fizz. Who do as much (Or more damage) then Akali. AND have escapes.
