Yeah they are really trying to push players to use E for it's actual damage instead of it's mobility. Hitting it in lane rare though, so trading definitely worse. The Q cooldown nerf is significant not just from the trading perspective but also waveclear. Q Q W Q makes quick work of any wave, now it'll take way way longer. Especially seeing as CDR isn't what Akali typically picks up. It's understandable for them to want to take away her slipperiness, but this is a big power-down to nearly all her kit. If they really want people to start doing damage with E, remove cast time and make it actually feel smooth like the rest of her abilities.
