Can Akali's Shroud Bug be fixed please

Akali is SO HOT··7 votes·657 views

I died 3 times last game because of abilities revealing Akali in her shroud for no reason. Considering her shroud is her only defensive option it should at least be reliable and it can't be with this stupid bug that has been there since the rework was first put on the PBE and never fixed. This is actually a game changing bug for Akali and needs to be addressed. Thanks.

Edit: Here's an example.

I say that until she becomes less broken with her 3 point and click dashes for an ult which CAN'T BE ESCAPED, no.

To me this specific case looks like it's to do with Silver Bolts changing it's value. It seems like it changes from 1 stack to 0 stacks when Vayne hits the ward initially and changes some other value on her first AA after she 'procs' Silver Bolts on the ward.

That's just my guess, I've seen it happen with other abilities too so I know it's not just this case and it certainly shouldn't happen anyway.

It's not Vayne it's the Thresh hook. Thresh reveals Akali even though she is clearly still in the shroud.

Thresh's hook reveals stealth, that's an intended interaction. It's always done this and it does so VS every stealth champion, not just Akali.

I assumed what you were complaining about was you randomly flashing despite not taking any damage at least as far as I can tell. That's a legitimate complaint. Thresh's hook however is not.

Nowhere in the description does it say it reveals it's target. I've played Akali since Season 3 and as far as I can tell Thresh's hook has never revealed Akali in her shroud until the rework. I should also point out that it doesn't reveal her if she is right in the middle of the shroud, but only when she's towards the outer edge. Either way it is clearly a bug.

It 100% reveals stealth of all kinds regardless of what it says in the description. Just ask a friend to test in a custom, pick Vayne or Shaco and do the same test and they'll be revealed as well. It's a bad tooltip but not a bug. Here's a video I found with pre rework Rengar quite clearly demonstrating this.

I can also assure you that Thresh's hook did reveal Akali in her shroud before the rework. I saw this interaction many times.

If she's not being revealed in the centre of the shroud then that's the bug.
