Akali thrives in the shadows, but her Shroud hasn’t always been slipping away as cleanly as we’d like. We’re quickening her fade so that she can dart through stealth more smoothly. Additionally, we’ve added a new Shuriken Flip Shroud interaction, which will open the door for even slicker shadow plays.
Twilight Shroud
- Restealth timer reduced from 0.8 seconds to 0.67.
Shuriken Flip
- New effect: The shuriken will now mark the last Twilight Shroud smoke section hit.
Stats
- Base energy regeneration increased from 50 to 60.
Akali is struggling after the endurance changes so we buffed her Twilight Shroud, and increased her damage in the mid and late game. This will increase her ability to kite her enemies and enjoy more success in team fights.

Akali has been our resident glass cannon assassin but she’s been a bit too fragile recently. We’re making her just a little tankier so she doesn’t have to perform the perfect combo to get a kill and live. She will also do more damage in the mid game where she tends to struggle.
Stats
- Armor growth increased from 4.3 to 5.
Assassin's Mark
- Base damage increased from 28 to 140 (based on level) to 35 to 175 (based on level).
- AP ratio increased from 50% AP to 55%.
This Rogue Assassin has been struggling to adapt since our changes to boots and runes. So we’re reducing some of her energy costs to help her out in the laning phase, while also adjusting some of Akali’s other abilities to make her more flexible during teamfights.
Assassin's Mark
- Outward movement speed increased from 30% bonus movement speed to 30/40/50/60%.
- Movement speed toward enemy champions increased from 30% bonus movement speed to 30/40/50/60%.
Five Point Strike
- Energy cost reduced from 120/100/80/60 to 105/90/75/60.
Akali has been struggling in the earlier stages of the game, especially when up against foes with longer range. We’re making some adjustments to help her survive during the laning phase while also giving her the ability to clear minion waves a little easier. We hope this help makes her early game smoother.
Stats
- Base armor increased from 30 to 34.
Five Point Strike
- Base damage increased from 30/65/100/135 to 35/70/105/140.
Stats
- Base movement speed increased from 345 to 355.
Our favorite Rogue Assassin is in a tough spot. A lot of players enjoy picking her up, but she hasn’t been able to pick up many wins across the board. We’re cautiously buffing her base and scaling health regeneration to help her deal with some of the poke she may face in the earlier stages of the game, to help her reach her satisfying mid-game.
Stats
- Base health regeneration increased from 9 to 10.
- Health regeneration growth increased from 0.68 to 0.8.
Players who have been picking Akali, even the invested Akali mains, have been struggling to make her succeed even when they perfectly execute their plays. So, we’re giving her some small buffs to help her take down her opposition.
Stats
- Base health increased from 570 to 600.
Twilight Shroud
- Bonus maximum energy increased from 80 to 100.
- Energy restore increased from 80 to 100.
Perfect Execution
- Cooldown reduced from 90/70/50 seconds to 85/65/45.
Akali has been underperforming across the board, so you shur-ken bet we’re here to make some adjustments and help this Rogue Assassin out. We’re taking away some of her energy regeneration which was previously higher than other energy users, and in return we’re giving her some more power in other parts of her kit so she's less dependent upon playing around her enormous energy regen. We’re also looking to cut down on some of the frustrating gameplay her foes face, by putting more of Akali’s ultimate damage into her first dash. This should reduce the amount of times Akali can execute her enemies primarily with the second dash of her ultimate, after hitting another target with the first.
Stats
- Energy regeneration per 5 seconds reduced from 75 to 50.
Five Point Strike
- Base damage increased from 25/60/95/130 to 30/65/100/135.
- Energy cost reduced from 130/110/90/70 to 120/100/80/60.
Perfect Execution
- First cast base damage changed from 85/150/215 to 80/200/320.
- Second cast minimum base damage reduced from 85/150/215 to 70/140/210.
- Second cast minimum AP ratio reduced from 40% AP to 30%.
Akali is performing too well in the Baron lane. We’re taking some of the power out of her passive to make it more difficult for her to secure a lead in the laning phase, and harder for her to chase down enemies later in the game. A ninja should be challenged.
