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.
Assassin's Mark
- •Base damage increased from 35 to 175 (based on level) to 37 to 205 (based on level).
- •AP ratio increased from 55% AP to 65%.

- •Bonus movement speed increased from 30/35/40/45% to 35/40/45/50%.
Talon is also struggling after the endurance changes so we buffed his damage to more appropriately match an assassin's burst.
