I've been able to play four games with it, and I have a few things to say.

In addition to what’s mentioned here https://www.reddit.com/r/akalimains/comments/1vm03ui/the_disappointing_state_of_akali_at_release_in/, I don’t know how to explain it, but she feels SLOW.

Slow to attack, slow to cast abilities, EXTREMELY SLOW when you cast her R and have to spam to land that blessed basic attack. Playing her is like playing with lag… it’s depressing.

She’s been nerfed, she feels slow, and I think she’s lacking some damage—especially with her E—though I find her E totally useless and pointless; it uses up a lot of energy, deals barely any damage even with a full build, and you can’t clear any waves with just her E....

They make a bunch of changes and just casually drop her onto LIVE—a character that feels really bad to play.

So it doesn't look like things are going to change. They're going to release the worst version of Akali in Classic. We've complained, but it hasn't made a difference. Is this idea that they listen to the community only when it suits them? Please don't bring the worst version of Akali in classic. In her current state, she's weak... her E is useless, has a high energy cost, and barely does any damage. Her R has been nerfed, but everything else remains the same. u/RiotFeralPony

I think I speak for the entire Akali subreddit. Since her rework, she doesn't feel like Akali anymore, and now with Classic, we had the chance to play her in her golden years. But since she came out, they've been putting her in a bad light.

Reduced range ultimate, passive is nerfed, the Q in the sub for Akali mains, they say it's nerfed, the W well..., anyway, today a patch came out that reduces the energy of the E but nerfs the burning of the pasiva de la Q...Oh, and when you use the ultimate, the character stands still and you have to click for it to do an attack....and more things.

It's not fair, Katarina came out and they gave her her best kit, Akali came out and they gave her her worst kits, and nerfs.

Please, u/RiotFeralPony in the Akalimains sub, we're talking about this. We just want Akali to be released in her best version.

Thanks.

It seems the version of Akali classic currently on the PBE is weak compared to others; her passive scales differently, her ultimate range is shorter, and—having tried it myself— she consumes more energy than before while also lacking damage...

If we don't complain—just like the Katarina mains did—we won't be heard. There are better versions of Akali out there; let's not settle for something bad when it could be better.

Which version akali will be playable?

I know it'll be the pre-rework version, but will it be the last version before the rework? When the E exploded the Q's mark? When the passive alternated between healing and damage? Or the oldest version yet?
