Soooo Akali is gut?

Based on PBE:

Akali's auto attacks no longer deal a bonus amount of damage (usually around 150 bonus magic damage later in the game)

No longer gains spell vamp.

Replaced with a heal scaling with bonus AD and a damage auto scaling with 45% AP once every 8-5 seconds. On a 600 AP build that's a whole 340 damage in 2 autos, whereas two autos would have given her 300+ damage in current builds, but without requiring her to wait for a second auto, and allowing you to use it multiple times in a 5 second period. Plus, this is a gut to her tower taking power and wave clear).

W gives a blink, only actual buff. But cast time increased, and lasts shorter except at max rank

E: cooldown up by 2 seconds, from 1 to 3, with only a 10% AP scaling buff to compensate.

R: AP scaling down to 25% from 50%, and has a solid 2 second cooldown between ults unaffected by cdr, up from 2/1.5/1 while still affected by cdr.

Soooo, let's see what these changes have killed off.

Akali's waveclear, check.

Akali's CDR builds, check.

Akali's AP builds, check.

And last but not least, Akali herself, check.

From now on, the only viable Akali build is tank akali. Woo hoo.

Edit: I like how I'm being downvoted because I am legit pointing out how a champion is going to be turned into trash.

Edit two: New duskblade of is probably going to be worth buying on her with her changes. Build around items giving her bonus damage rather than stats. Gunblade statikk shiv triforce draktharr perhaps? Throw in a spirit visage for good measure. Consider replacing statikk shiv with ludens if you get rich enough (or buying ludens instead of boots).

Edit 3: am I supposed to think Akali is some sort of amazing champion right now and that's why she's being nerfed? Her winrate is 48% with a pickrate of 1%. If anything, she's balanced or slightly on the side of needing some slight buffs. Yet some of you are trying to justify her nerfs by saying she's utterly strong? At least keep your biases out of balance please. I'm warning you guys, these changes are the downfall of all assassin Akali's and will spark the rise of more people playing tank akali (though less people will be playing akali overall after the changes).
