akali feels better after level 9 but before that she feels really shitty still
There was a couple times i was akali vs gnar top and he got away because of my E not being able to proc my Q riot. And only because of that \I suggest we give her better base attack speed and speed up her animation on Q(less travel time)
this may help buff her so when she finally does hit six after trying to cs under turret she can make the plays she needs more smoothly.
If you wont give her E procing Q back then I'll think of other ideas.
