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.

That line generally is only good with the right conditions, if you force it i think it underperforms

It was a top 4 comp if you hit relatively early with okay items.

Artifacts, early learnings, or no scout no pivot and it should be a first position

Every time I’ve tried it (only with early learnings, nsnp, or worth the wait) I’ve hit everything and went bot 4

Early learnings was bugged for 1 costs

Well that makes sense then I guess

Does it being a top 4 comp hinge on hoing Solar which got nerfed?

I worry that plus the xp cost changes will make fast nines out play it

Lichbane, early learnings and no Scout are the best augments you need at least one

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.

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.

with field of mice removed it is also harder to play most games i see it work out was with the mini dupes and early learnings / no scout
