Tbh new akali will be better then the one now and will have more counterplay.

Now major struggle in terms of the current one is that ultimate, it puts you behind the enemy for free and allows a god tier advantage in a 1v1. The new one has a flat dash. Thus the 1v1 will be easier, it has been told to me that the shroud will be affected by aoe abilties. On top of that many of akalis abilities are skill shots. The new one is way more balanced in terms of the current one.
