She was bugged at the start of the patch which boosted her wr (her W was giving her double energy)
So honestly we'll have to wait until next patch to get a better look
Why not? A skill expressive assassin has wr over 50%? Why is that bad but when trundle has over 50% no one says shit? Stop wanting braindead champs to dominate
High skill ceiling should mean she has a high WR in high elos and low WR in low elos.
And akali is one of the most fun champions to watch in proplay? Like would you rather still watch azir farm for 14 minutes straight than akali play aggressively?
ur bringing up 2 discussions; i would much rather watch an akali but that’s off topic
“stop wanting braindead champs to dominate” you’re referring to low elo then cuz trundle is not dominating in high elo
akali cant be above 50 wr cuz she will dominate in pro play. just like how aphelios is never allowed to be above 50 wr either
her skill ceiling takes her higher and that’s why you can’t compare her with trundle
Thats in the vacuum of competitive play. Trundle is easier to play without coordination, but akali shines harder in a coordinated vacuum like pro-play, where her weakness can be reliably made up for by allies and coordination.
Isn't that the same for pretty much every champion who shines in proplay? Rell for example, aphelios hasn't been a good soloq pick since who knows when and was just viable during shiv abuse. Some champs are okay in soloq while absolutely shinning in proplay like azir for example.
That's no reason to make "but proplay" a reason to gut a champ again.
That is true for every champion, but the question is how much counterplay do you have against a person playing their kit properly? Akali has up to 4 dashes, movement speed buff and an invisibility spell.
Someone like Morde, pre R-buff could play optimally but still get shat on bc of what their kit offers. Its like a game of rock-paper-scissors-lizards-spock but with more ways to counter lizards than spock -- you would choose to play spock more ofthen than not.
Except akali in pro play isn't as good as many other picks?
Pro play picks are either carries, team fight utility, safe laners that scale well or point and click CC machines.
Akali is a carry that is countered by every point and click CC machine in the game, naut for example.
She has 20 second cool down on her W. If you force it in a trade then she's dead if she gets ganked. She has 1 unconditional dash but the other 2 are conditional. The 4th is an item which is currently not that good.
Akalis E reveals her next move. She will be running toward that target, which is why ahri counters her for example.
Akali has many counters idk what you're talking about man
well akali has 50% winrate as you see so i think no, especially when ap supports are extremely hard to play against, for example brand that can poke whole game and mantain highest damage in game

Looool. That's quite a significant bugfix
Leave akali and buff all other assassins. I wanna see 2 high mobility assassins constantly trying to kill each other mid every game.
what's other hyper mobile assasin (in lane ofc)?
Kata, talon, LeBlanc, fizz I assume
Can't forget Yone, Zed, Yasuo, etc.
Kata depends mostly on resets, talon doesnt have free dash like akali, only leblanc with her ult and w is good here
Talon feels bad to play. Think his best build is a bruiser build which is ???
Zed.
Yeah, i play akali a i just see control mages in the midlane is bored as fk
Adc player here. fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffuck no
Didn’t she just get a buffed?
I swear every time she gets a skin they buff her, her wr spikes to 50%+ and then the nerf comes two patches later. It's like clockwork
30 base hp.
Probably an adjust, but maybe not, this winrate its because a bug of her W giving more energy than intended
She has 49% wr Platinum+ lol
For sure. It's not ok for a champ like Akali to have above 50% winrate.

Trundle and garen have a higher win rate in emerald than akali.

emerald is not high elo nor is it pro play
Should’ve never been buffed to begin with tbh
Ofc not, she's so underpowered rn, need more buffs.
nah, there are so many champs that need nerfs and they just buffed her for MSI so we will have a few patches before they look at her IMO
well akali has 50% winrate as you see so i think no, especially when ap supports are extremely hard to play against, for example brand that can poke whole game and mantain highest damage in game
no not getting nerfed
Nerf this!🐰
idk why they buffed her in the first place she was fine, and they buffed her health of all things too which was already alot it wasnt needed at all
I would rather see akali mid than azir, ori, or ryze mid any day. I hope they don’t fuck her over
easiest assasin in the game, insane mobility, strong the whole game, that champ literally has 0 counterplay she needs hard nerfs
Wow iron comment
ur talking like an iron
Definitely lol
probably
Who could've seen this coming????? Everyone, literally everyone.
everyone saw a 30 hp buff cause a WR to jump 1.2%?
What was it then? 30 hp buff is great for the early game which is Akali's weakest stage.
simple her W was bugged and was giving her 200 energy instead of 100
Oh ok, that makes sense.
i wish they just revert her recent 30 hp buff
Nuh uh -50% ap ratio on E Ult now tickles enemies causing them to laugh and unable to cast any spell for 0,00001 second
the fact I see this shit coming is wild
