Can we talk about how disgustingly overpowered Akali is?

Please? Like, I see this character picked up by everyone even as just a random unit with no synergies because F it, broken as Hell...why not

At least Pyke was toned down a bit, still probably over the top with item 3161 stack, but Akali is just insane

Nerf please Akali Akali Akali Akali Akali

She CAN be pretty strong, but she is a tier 4 unit, so I kinda feel like she's supposed to be strong? Also she DOES have a synergy if you have just her, she's a single ninja.

I feel like if you're building her up you should be rewarded with a strong unit. She's also pretty squishy. I guess if they HAD to nerf her they could increase her ability cost a bit, as five point strike is very low cost and pretty good damage.

But I really don't think she's TOO crazy.

Yeh, Ninja is like a mild version of Exile. Yasuo is often picked up late game with zero Blademaster synergy as well. Akali isn't legendary, but she is still epic and pretty hard to two star.

I really hate the single unit synergies in TFT. Really, I'm rewarded because I happened to win the draw lottery once?

Not 3x, or 9x (true if you want 3* or typically a trio of 2* required for a decent synergy).

On top of that Akali uses her ult almost immediately it feels like. That seems pretty ridiculous.

well they big nerfed her shroud giving some counterplay with pink wards or vision trinket. She should be fine now.

He refers to TFT as this is the board for that, but pink wards and red trinkets DO NOT REVEAL AKALI. True sight true sight true sight. Invisibility hides you from anything but true sight. True sight is Tower, Kai'sa W, (this patch) Karma W, Morg R, Leblanc Chain. Shaco's invis works the same as this, pink wards DO NOT REVEAL SHACO. Invisibility and camouflage are different.

akali is pretty mild compared to, immortal braum with warmogs or aatrox no items oneshotting 2 to 3 champions simultaneously, or draven with that faux atk speed nerf they gave him last patch, he still oneshots, or miss fortune using 1 ability to destroy your entire team, or stunlock glacials.

Just remove the crit from her skill and slightly compensate with it's damage. Why can Akali of all champs crit with her skill but garen and GP can't?

I don't know, she's kinda busted but there are a LOT of other units that are busted too so it can kinda even out. She's definitely a hard carry for assassin comps though and I've seen her crit for 1400+.
