Why is Akali's Ult range so big?

[quote=Bryun][[Kassadin]]'s [[Riftwalk]] outclasses [[Akali]]'s [[Shadow Dance]] anyday, and you want a nerf on her. :/ His is nearly spammable.[/quote]

[quote=JunSupport][[Riftwalk]]'s range is smaller, and it's a skill shot. [[Shadow Dance]] is an easier and more effective skill when it comes to actually killing someone.[/quote]

[/quote] Yeah, but [[Kassadin]]'s can be used like a [[Flash]] or to be able to deal damage and escape just as quick where [[Akali]] can't leave the fight as efficiently unless there's some minion that's perfectly positioned. There's pros and cons to each skill, but I still believe [[Kassadin]]'s [[Riftwalk]] is far more superior in comparison.

[quote=Searz]Buuuut akali doesn't have the problems Kassadin has. At least not to the same extent.[/quote]

[quote=ZioSerpe]at lvl 6 akali jumps at cass, cass ults places miasma and noxious blast and starts twin fanging, evy twin fang a step back, add ignite, GG[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]Now that this thread has been made, I actually think a nerf on her ult range would put her where she needs to be. Hmmm.[/quote]

[quote=Embracing]Akali's pretty weak if not snowballed early. I think they should balance her a bit.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]^ Unless she farms well in a solo lane which she generally dominates.[/quote]

[quote=Embracing]That's also true, but if both teams BOTH get farmed well, then her damage is still relatively weaker, too.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]Not against the squishies who build full damage, who she can eat alive immediately.[/quote]
