I was referring to the fact that Akali was out for 2 years before they added that functionality and saw competitive play in that time.

@Andre, I totally agree that the skill will be useless, just like it was back then, I don't think it's the right direction for Riot to go. It's an easy way out when it comes to nerfing Akali and it's only made worse by the amount of detail they're putting into healthily changing Fizz.

This was an Akali "rework" idea I had back in 2011, before E procced Q, with an idea of putting more of her kit's power into her E because back then you didn't use the skill for anything other than farming minions. Through the years some aspects of it have been implemented (Q damaged lowered to match my values, longer delay on stealth, E energy cost reduced) but I just don't think it's been enough and it's mostly because it seems that Riot is scared of touching her brainless targeted all-in power.

Hopefully this is just a quick fix and more changes are on the way that are on the same level as the Fizz and (tentative) Katarina changes.
