So up until last night I really enjoyed visiting this subreddit, and before I officially never post here again, I just wanted to clarify my opinions on all of the posted matter from this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/akalimains/comments/avvf3u/special_thanks_to_professorakali/

Post: "Thank you for releasing 2 clickbait videos back to back stomping bad players with high ping in the PBE and calling Akali "broken" after the buffs, giving Riot ammunition to revert most of the changes."

Response: I truly think that Riot over-buffed akali and it completely takes away from their whole process of slowly buffing her back into relevancy without giving her a huge ban rate again. If they gave her a ton of buffs at once every kiddie will see that and perma-ban her again. In response to my content increasing her ban rate: In september 2016 Riot reported over 100 million people playing LoL. My video "MASSIVE 9.5 AKALI BUFFS REVEALED! IS SHE BROKEN AGAIN?!? (NEW BEST BUILD) - League of Legends" has 105,000 views at the time of me posting this. It's also my JOB to make "exaggerated/click-bait titles" in order to survive, in order to succeed. You all get free content and all you have to do is not cry about the titles, which I feel is fair. I put in so many hours every day, week, and month to provide free content, I don't see how the hate is considered fair, especially from my old favorite community.

Post: "I thought he had our backs, but apparently having a decent laning phase is too op."

Response: you have to look at the bigger picture. she has immense pressure with true stealth and if she can lane well and dominate early/mid game that's TOO MUCH (in my opinion WHICH I'm allowed to state on MY OWN channel)

Post: "Half of his posts in this subreddit are just him linking his videos. All he cares about is his views, and you’re not the first one to call him on it."

Response: this one tilted me for sure, got so many bandwagon hate upvotes even though I've probably posted 3 videos here in the past year, and countless more non-promoting posts. good bandwagon mentality guys.

Post: "I think that Prof has alot of influence as you say but you cant get after him for making his videos; that is his livelihood."

Response: Thank you.

In conclusion, I hate feeding the trolls but because that hate post had so many upvotes I feel like I have to. I've given Riot a bunch of your ideas on potential fixes/reworks/changes, I've tried to contribute to this subreddit as a high-elo akali main, but I guess I'm not welcomed here by a majority of this reworked akali community. Also since all I do on this reddit is self-promote, here is a season 9 akali combo guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WbOk0cmAl4

p.s. to the person who made that post, you're still a sad cuck
