The Akali rework should get the Leblanc+Rengar treatment

"It’s no secret that the 2016 assassin update didn’t do its target champions any favors. Just about every champion involved has seen a major overhaul since their rework. In a few cases, like Rengar, Riot has simply done a full revert and decided that the whole experiment was a failure and reverted the champion’s kit all the way back to what it was before the update. LeBlanc received the latest of these kit reversions thanks to Patch 8.8." https://www.riftherald.com/lol-gameplay/2018/4/19/17256272/lol-need-to-know-leblanc-kit-revert-old

Visually she's 10/10 good job rito Her gameplay though.... at some point Irelia changes stopped, Akali IS STILL GETTING NERFED THOUGH

YES this means she'd need some modifications in the animations department because her abilities are different but at least that is better than new Akali

Those reverts required very little work though. Rengar just needed his Q changed back and Leblanc didn't have any visual changes to begin with. Reverting a full kit that got a VGU and 2 new skins is way more work than I think you realize.

Yeah no. Leblanc got reverted because it had basically the same problem but worst.

Akali is actually played now, can get buffs and nerfs without her becoming broken or shit, actually takes skill.

Also rengar didn't get reverted showing how much of the game you play.

You know, I kind of wish that riot had learned their lesson with that assassin update. I think them releasing both the new akali and pyke shows that they didn't. Both champs needed a ton of nerfs because riot doesn't properly value the impact assassins have on the game.
