New Akali

I've played her in AI (Blind Pick is full of IL's so you won't be able to play her) and I can see her potential. The second cast on her R can literally be a game changer, especially if it hits multiple enemies in a teamfight. She can outplay/be outplayed, what more do you want?

No no, i completely agree, i think shes really nifty and interesting to play now. I think laning with her currently sucks against any ranged champion, and her q range needs to be altered. W's cooldown is too high just to be cast to farm with q. People can literally stand behind wave and comfortably play safe and poke you down without retaliation. Trades are impossible without w up.

I dunno, maybe i still need to learn the champ. I can see a definite nerf from the old akali as burst damage and easy kills were so much easier. I like that she now requires skill to be able to "1 shot" someone, but nonetheless i think she still is underwhelming currently.
