Patch 12.17 Notes

Champions:

Akali: W - Twilight Shroud

+New effect: Akali's size will grow the longer she stays inside the shroud.

In recent patches we've noticed that players have been shying away from the assassin's path in lieu of more a more tanky playstyle. Between her incredible mobility and her execution damage, Akali already shines with her "Rogue Assassin" playstyle, but with the tanky item options and her W escape, she can feel quite oppressive to play against. The Invisibility allows her to avoid any targeting abilities and allows her to soak many more abilities with little to no consequence. As such, we would like to balance this ability to force players to make a more conscious decision when they use the shroud. Now players must think carefully on how long they want to stay inside this shroud, less they want to spend the rest of the match as a horny, giant ninja roaming the rift."

Thank god she doesn't have a Lulu on her team, otherwise she'd knock down every turret from here to the nexus. Thanks to neo444604 for the suggestion!
