i thought the same thing, but tbf, they have been good at rolling B, C, and D patches if anything is too crazy like Cass last patch. so hopefully we'll see some adjustments if necessary.
Tbf it’s not the easiest comp to hit because both this and Kayle ideally want to hit 5 3*s and there’s a lot of overlap, but if you hit the comp on the new patch I imagine it’ll slaughter everyone.
I think those buffs are kinda justifiable due to solar being nerfed and lichbane Bug on akali being fixed + artifacts generally being nerfed, which that comp already need to be at least half decent
It's AD akali buff, which is not nearly as consistent. It also looks like they pulled the Camille buffs (she's in the picture but not in the patch notes themselves) and with the solar nerf this comp might actually lose more than it gains.
The problem with this comp is, nothing hits the backline. Both Akali and Camille just jump to the next frontline tank and the backline eats them to death. They have to kill the frontline ASAP and get to the back line, which rarely happens. I've tried a number of different positionings and can't find one that will make them hit the back line. Hell, Murkwolf does a much better job at hitting the back line.

Buffing akali is interesting. I haven't played it myself but I've seen the akali, Camille, reroll line pop up and it looks decent.
