The mini rework did a vary of things to her, without changing her much and some were good and interesting, others were just awfull.

The change to her passive for example was one of the interesting changes, because I hardly dislike stat-passives. They aren't interesting, they don't offer any decisionmaking and mostly they don't even open the gates for different items. Akalis previous passive was different from other stat passives in the last point, since it had a hybrid scaling and thus had synergies with different items, but the new passive has the same synergies and in addition requires decsions, set ups and smart use instead of just being there. The shroud changes were good too.

Then there are the stupid changes, mainly being her ult having a 2 second cooldown on all levels. It feels really gross and clunky in the later stages of the game, but nothing game breaking.

I think she is in an ok spot right now, not overpowered at all and yet not unplayable bad. It's just ok. She isn't sustaining as hard as before, she more has windows of power with burst heals now and her damage didn't change that much. Only thing I wish they adjusted is the missle speed of her Q. Not for farming purposes or something but for her combo. I mean, I know they want to delay her damage, like they did with all Assassins (Rengar and Kha not counted), but if you chain Q into R and AA, you often don't proc the Q mark, because the Q didn't reach the target yet. This doesn't delay the damage of your combo, it screws your combo up. It just doesn't feel fluid.
