Welcome to the fold, brother. Just don't get into arguments with stubborn people and leave comment chains that take 30 seconds of constant scrolling to get past and irritate all the moderators and you're golden. >:D

Coming from a player who faces a fair number of Akalis these days, I haven't seen any significant changes in build paths since the nerf. You won't be putting more points in shroud until much later in the game so if you can't rely on the stealth it gives you it's usually better to either retreat or slaughter the person who's aggroing you (Akali doesn't really have many other options). A loss of 10 armor and MR won't be affecting that choice very much unless you might be facing a champ heavy on skillshots.

The 2nd answer is no, not really. The MS bonus lets you reposition within a shroud very easily (and makes it a better escaping tool) but again if you're not facing a champ heavy on skillshots it hasn't generated some fantastic new form of gameplay for Akali (still more than what it was, I guess, which is good).
