Regarding Akali's rework.

While most are primarily upset about her kit, I'm actually more upset about the extra things.

Quotes are very bland now, sure they were very static before, but, we got the calm collected persona from her, quite honestly, her new quotes remind me heavily of Xayah's quotes, just boring to listen too and reminds me of those goth/emo gals from kid movies.
Appearance, I personally prefer the more soft and feminine appearance of pre-rework Akali, it just fits better imo, plus her classic style wasn't as eye candy driven.
Not very fond of the lore update where she has a thing for angsty anime character Kayn, and despises Yi, Shen and Irelia now.

Though the plus I see, she's not so "nothing til 6" anymore, so thank you for that at least Riot, but I still am far from being a CertainlyT fan

I kinda disagree with most of what you said, but I guess Ill mostly focus on the last point as that's the only one I can really argue that's not opinion based. I believe her line towards Kayn was more of a joke since the writer worked on both. Its like when Rakan cheers for Xayah dying because now he is single. Take it with a grain of salt.

As for not liking Irelia/Yi/Shen, well that's not really true. I been told Riot has said that interactions aren't exactly "Canon" (I could be wrong) and instead just show off more personality. It has been said by riot she still likes Shen, just disagrees with his methods. Her lines even sound more like she's trying to justify why she's attacking him instead of being angry. "This is necessary!" and such.

Yi? Well he is a teacher, she isn't a fan of masters at the moment. As for Irelia? Eh. I don't think its despises.

1.I also feel like that her personality is a bit similar to Xayah,though she feels more cocky&focused and less goth to me.

2.Honestly I prefer the new appearance.Sure it is more eyecandy,but it feels more cohesive(no sideboob for the sake of sideboob) and with the tatoo it is also visually more interesting and unique.

3.Well her previous lore was "she is one of Shens sidekicks",so I definitely prefer this lore,because it puts her into a unique position and gives her her own agenda.Granted I wouldn't say her lore is that interesting,but the bar was set pretty low for her previous one,so this is still an improvement in my opinion. Also she just thinks that Kayn looks hot,nothing more.You can think that someone looks hot without being romantically interested in them.

Her splash arts great, in game walks weird, needs to release those other voice lines they said they recorded because otherwise she's not on the level of the other reworks, idc if they want"quiet Ninja type" the way she acts makes her seem like more voice lines would be better Come on Riot release ALL the voice lines
