Akali nerfs on PBE AGAIN?

So, yeah, it's that you can't handle a fair discussion with sides other than what you agree with.

But to humor you, let's break down what you have said:

Nothing more than an appeal to authority. And obviously someone who liked her old, outdated kit more is gonna be asking for a reversion. So it means nothing.

It functions just fine. As far as being a new kit with a bunch of mechanics, hers has had very few bugs. And if you'd say, "that's not what I meant," then figure out the right words to say what you do mean.

Not true. She's difficult to pick up because she fights in a very unique way, but for anyone with 40+ games on her, she actually performs far too well. Better even than Lee Sin or Azir, two comparably mechanically difficult champions. That's why she keeps needing hits.

That doesn't support you in any way at all. She's needed adjustments, that's all it means. Because all her problems have been solely because of her kit, not because of any items or runes. Compare that to Ezreal, who's often hit in his build, not his kit.

Well, it sort of has. With the uniqueness of her playstyle, people with fewer games on her are going to have incredibly low performance. She has one of if not the strangest mechanical kit in the game. But for people who've learned her, her win rate's a steady 55%. Which is too high. It will never even out, but that's because of what makes the new kit fun. It's uniquely difficult.

No real offense intended, but I don't plan on arguing with someone over the kit of my main when they A: Have no games played on new Akali, therefore have no right to speak on her behalf, B: Play primarily Aram games, and C: Start every bit of reply to a discussion with "You clearly can't handle a fair discussion."

These are my last two cents on the topic:

The facts are: In Platinum and up Akali has held a 33-45% win rate, 43rd place and 44th place (of 44 champs designed for mid) since her release. She has needed to be revamped and changed repeatedly, none of which have done anything to help her situation, some have even worsened it. She's pick or ban in pro-play, which is never a good place to be. Her play and ban rates have stayed perpetually high, in the top 10's since her release. She gets the least amount of average assists of any mid champion, she has one of the highest average deaths of any mid champ, she's 39/44 in how much overall damage she deals per game, and she's in the bottom 10 for gold income per game. She is in the lower spectrum in every aspect aside from how many kills she garners, and that's comparing her to every mid champion, not just assassins like herself. She is quite literally, currently considered to be one of the worst champions in the game when it comes to the general player bases capability to play her.

Which is ridiculous considering how strong she actually is.

Riot is clinging to the idea that they don't make mistakes, and are trying to make her kit "work" but it doesn't. It has been shown not to. No matter how much they have nerfed her, (lowering the win rate of the general public each time) she is still used and abused in proplay. Because her kit is overpacked. She has an auto empower, high mobility, true stealth, 3-4 dashes, a stun, and an execute. But because of her design, if they took any of these things away, she would be bad for the game in the sense that she would be unplayable, because her kit is DESIGNED around those aspects.

One might call this anecdotal evidence, but there was a point where people were banning Akali in ranked when I tried to play her, saying "I don't want to lose, play someone else." This was on multiple occasions. There is no excuse for that kind of visceral reaction to a champion from the playerbase.

Post-Thread: Her winrate is now 41%. But iT'S noRmalIzEd right? Get out of here. [slayer-jinx-catface]
