Again. WHY THE FUCK DOES AKALI HAVE A HEAL ON HER Q?

Does no one on the boards even know what old Akali did?

god if i have enough of those akali rant posts, just stop it.

Considering her damage since midgame and the fact that she builds gunblade, I think removing her heal is the least you can do to make her bearable.

Want to talk about sustainable Qs? Meet

If Akali buys D-shield her kill potential drops pretty badly. Since it does nothing to increase her damage.

Second not only did Akali ALWAYS have sustain as an assassin, but her current sustain is not only weaker, it generally means she wont be able to kill you if she only uses it for the sustain on some minions. All other factors being equal of course.

Third. Akali does need a second level of defense, as her mobility is better used for offense, and smoke screen is one of the worse defensive abilities in the game by itself. If you do a good job keeping a mental track of her, you can still get her with targeted abilities, and it does very little to stop AOE abilities under those same conditions (keep a mental track of her.)

The range on her q is pretty low though and she has to have full energy to heal off her q I believe, which means she can't just w then instantly q for the heal.

But hey, that doesn't mean you can't kill her, she's mostly still quite squishy

Honestly I think a heal on her is fine.....early game when she's easily bullied in lane. Later in the game it is too much.
