Riot taught me to never fall in love, and reverting Akali saves time in the long run

The first game I ever played Akali, she became my favorite champion, back in season three. I have an argument why reverting Akali saves time. I am no designer or programmer, but I can only imagine that reverting a champion has to take less time than balancing a champion that has been on more patch notes than not since release date.

Now if Riot ever wants to admit their mistake with the new Akali, we can go through this process.

I know reverting Akali would mean designing the old kit with the new model. That will take sometime for sure. Currently Akali is deemed unplayable to many players. The previous Akali was fine within the game. It had some patches of being too good here and there, but right before the rework it was fine. It was playable, but not broken. This is how it was. Right now there is a team working on balancing Akali. This process could take multiple patches to get right. They confirmed nothing to happen this upcoming patch. We have seen several champions take awhile to balance, and then just scrapped and riot moves on. If this process continues, we will have a pile of unplayable champions inside solo queue. Now if the design team can focus and make the old Akali kit with the new Akali model, we have a playable champion again. No need to test for balance, maybe some bugs that might occur. They could even just add the old Akali kit to the game. Maybe have two versions of Akali. This could become a thing with all the reworked champions.

If nothing else, I might go back to school for computer design and apply for a job at Riot to fix Akali myself.
