When asked about the Akali changes mentioned earlier this year, Meddler noted:

"We have been looking at Akali somewhat recently, with the focus being on reworking her kit to both give her better counterplay and abilities that are more distinct from other assassins (her W's currently really unique, rest of the kit not as much). Conclusion we've come to is that there's cool stuff that can be done, but that it makes more sense to bundle Akali changes with work on other assassins whenever we can look at the class as a whole. That won't be for a while at least (definitely not preseason or early 2016, might be quite a bit later depending on which bits of work get prioritized)."

He continued:

We'd be looking at the primary assassins, rather than diving fighters with some assassin qualities (Irelia or Vi for example). We would like to look at diving fighters separately someday as well, that'd be a different piece of work with a different focus though.

As for when, he continued:

"Yeah, it's looking really unlikely we'll tackle assassins next. Whether we do a smaller class update earlier in 2016 or a larger one mid year's still being figured out."
