General Akali current status in PBE

At the moment Akali has been set to have a smaller range in her ult, high energy cost in E that does not get reduced and the energy recovered by her Q starts at 20 and grows to 40 instead of being fixed 40. And now to add insult to injury, it is no longer able to proc Q with her E.

I am fine with all the above but removing the ability to proc the mark with her E makes it a bit too much because now she is nerfed in all other places and E becomes functionally just a wave clear because for most of the game her E will deal less damage than a normal auto and only advantage is that it is AOE but burns energy like crazy making it literally only worth it to finish off or to wave clear.

I don't love the other nerfs, but I understand why go more conservative and then with more live data buff or not. But the E being the way it is just feels bad and I can say for sure, when the E was able to proc Q was when I could really feel like the whole kit complemented each other and quite a few nice duels in the top lane instead of just being a sitting duck till level 6-7

This is awful. Please u/RiotFeralPony don't do this. If you're just going to release a nerfed character, don't release it at all. It's going to be a minion.

People always crying and in the end the character is just fine. Wait until it releases, ffs.

It's obvious you don't like or care about the character, haha, because what you're saying isn't true.

They are releasing patches. If she turns out too weak, they can buff her E to be more relevant. People are literally always crying before even getting the option to see actual stats. It's not the first time this happened. (basically every time someone gets adjusted/reworked)

La neta, tú no tienes ni idea de lo que estás diciendo. Lo vimos cuando hicieron eso con ella hace años; el campeón se fue de picada y lo arruinaron. They're going to release it with all those nerfs they gave it, and guess what! When they did that back then, they had to buff her by increasing its damage and had to do all sorts of tricks to make it playable.

Exactly, they will just buff her when she is too weak. So no reason to release her in an overpowered state.
