Its to do with the duration, she has too much time to actually think about what to do next and stall within the shroud. If it was 2 seconds, scaling to 8 at max level I would be fine with it. She needs to have some more counterplay in the early game then she has now. A lot of people say her early game is weak, but it really isn't unless shes vsing a poke champion or an all in champion early (like Renekton), bruisers however like Darius, Jax get crushed (her W outlasts Jax ultimate). Like think about this, if she was more vunerable early game, but keeping her late game the same, its all an all more healthy to the game. Hell, Akali's virtually have no reason to max W 2nd because the duration is always 8 seconds, its completely broken and just unfair overall because there is no way to reveal it either, making it an unhealthy early game mechanic.
