Why Akali's full rework will be on March 7th

In this video Akali is dully mentioned and the idea is brought up that Jhin is not done yet with his lore. There is something special yet to happen and although Akali is not the main focus in the event, she does appear and will clearly have something that she does or she would not have been relevant. This was dully explained and I understand that, but I must move on to the main point of March 7th. As of November there was an assassin update that changed some characters one of witch being Akali. As we know this was just a temporary update until the full visual one that has yet to come out. It may seem a little far fetched, but hear me out. Jhin has a perfect plan and with his obsession with the number 4 we can see that there is great meaning behind it. March 7th falls on patch day and 4 months after the temporary update for Akali leading me to believe that there is a chance of the update having a bigger meaning behind it. With this new lore relating to Jhin, Shen and Zed will most likely come out with Akali (maybe even more in game changes). i may update this later if I find any more relevance. This may be unlikely to happen, but I would still like to share this so maybe others can build off of this. Thank you and please leave any criticisms you may have below. Akali Jhin Zed Shen

That is actually a good theory, tho it will be proven wrong, because Rioters didn't really know how everything will plan out.

But if the Rioters DO see this post they might actually do it. I'd say there's about 5% chance you'll be correct here.

Sorry to disappoint you,but nowadays riot is pretty open about what champions are getting reworked and we know that they are only working on Galio and Urgot at the moment(Urgot being the next rework after Warwick). Sure Galio might come out in febuary(it was said that he'll be out before the next champ),but the next project after him will likely come out 5-7 months later.

Also I really doubt that akalis lore will be that closely tied to Jhin. Sure she made an appearance in Jhins color text,but we already have 2 ninjas hunting him,so I think it is more likely that Akali and Kennen will get seperate storylines.

They had tossed around the idea of Akali being a VGU candidate competing with Evelynn for the spot of assassin VGU in 2017. They said they didn't want to do work on the champ they chose in the Assassin Update if there was going to be a full VGU the next year. Guess what? Akali got kit work in the Assassin Update. Evelynn got nothing except collateral from the Stealth/Camouflage distinction.
