Akali Counters :: Counter Picking Stats for Akali by CounterStats

Vicksay says “Pretty sure I'd dodge this match-up. Her weakest point is pre-6, after that whenever her R is up you're dead meat if you miss your E, she can 1v1 you with ease with her shroud, immense damage and INSANE mobility, and if she's not the best she has 3 "get out of jail free" cards in her W, E and R.”

Yasukeh says “Take 3 rejuv and double MR into her, and just try to survive. She can Trade with you in ways where there is no recourse. If you can bait out her shroud, when it's down is the only chance you have to possibly fight her. I would consider her a first or second priority for bans, in both mid and top lane. Akali did get nerfed in 10.3, but then they did a micropatch buff, so she is still worth the ban. ”

FalleN3 says “Akali is weak before level 6 and therefore should be abused as much as possible. You should be able to harass her with your AA a lot. When she goes in to last hit a minion you should be able to land some decent damage onto her. Even if Akali uses her (W) Twilight Shroud you can still damage her with your (W) Incinerate and your (R) Tibbers Be careful of ganks as this is a perfect way for Akali to get ahead of you!”

eiensiei says “I'll harass her with E-AA pre-6. Lux outdamages her with E-AA-Q-AA if she shields too and if Akali W's, I'll retreat. After 6 I won't trade, only poke with E's and farm. Barrier is enough to save any all-ins she might attempt, and if I Q her under my tower during a dive, she's usually dead. Constantly staying behind minions makes it so she can't E and would need to commit her R to gap close. Worth noting her E can take her back to her W if she used it on her shroud on first cast.”

Reppy says “This champion is one of the hardest, if not the hardest counter to Katarina. Her whole kit is able to dodge Katarina’s daggers and this nullifies her relevance. Her damage output is also way higher than Katarina’s and the only way you can deal with her is if you’re SUPER ahead. If not, she beats you side lane and is impossible to kill during teamfights.”

iZianni says “This champion is pure pain and I hope it gets nerfed into the ground. Due to her vamp, our poke is meaningless and her damage potential means that we will die to a full combo if we ever misstep. Fortunately, we do have a good laning phase against her and it comes down to who has more impact in team fights. If we deny her the snowball, we should be more impactful. ”

Zianni's Challenger Orianna Guide by iZianni | Diamond Orianna Player

Yamikaze says “Reworked Akali is also a quite difficult matchup because she's able to spam her Q's on you, and dissappear with smoke bomb when you're engaging. You have to bait her Q's by walking in and out, and try farm with your Q. You can also "fake" a engage in order to make her use her smoke bomb, and then you can all-in her. Be sure you have a minion wave around you when you're fighting, so you can dash around and make it much harder for her to hit her ultimate as both charges are skillshots. Take oracle lens after the laning phase. It won't reveal her, but it will show where she's going so you can still hit her with Q's.”

Dr Eggmund says “Can have some incredible poke on you, position yourself so your out of harms way and always farm and poke with Q as she is a melee champion. Her invisibility can be quite a shock so play passively while it's out unless you are CERTAIN you will be fine and can beat her.”

Sylvan Lore says “You outrange Akali pretty heavily, but that doesn't mean that she can't get to you. Level 1 she will almost always take Q. If you space her correctly you should be able to land poke in the form of Autos and Q while being safe from her Q. Should she land her Q on you though, the slow combined with her speed will likely allow her to land her passive auto and win the trade. Don't be afraid to chase her a bit and keep autoing her after she combos as she will be stuck on cooldowns. Pushing into an Akali is acceptable early as long as you are in a position to push hard enough to reset the wave before her jungler comes. Levels 3+ you will lose any even all-in trade. That's not to say that you will lose all trades, but you have to be strategic in safely poking her when possible without going oom. 3+ she wins, but especially at level 6 she has a devastating all-in that must be respected. As with most assassins, she falls off in the mid to late game. Zhonya's is super high value into her in lategame fights as she is super vulernable when diving in and can rarely afford to stick around for 2.5 seconds to finish you off. You can even win a lot of lategame 1v1s against her if you play it well, but regardless the damage and utility you can safely put out will not be matched. The real goal of this matchup is to not fall so far behind that you never get there. Phase rush and Stopwatch are ideal runes into Akali. If they have another AP threat you can consider MR runes, but I wouldn't do it just for her. Zhonyas is very high value as always into an assassin and can even be considered a second item. Merc treads are also viable if you are really struggling with this lane. Other than that building standard items and out-scaling her is completely fine.”

Jnewbringspain says “Akali is a laning monstrosity. She just has so much mobility, it's difficult to land your Q. If you do manage to land it, she will just go invisible making it impossible to win a trade. I wouldn't bother trying to kill her unless you get help from your jungler. You'll just end up wasting your mana early on. Try to farm up and be useful in teamfights.”

DarDarThePenguin says “The combination of Yone's low base stats, Akali's high base damage and mobility, and her strong dives makes this an almost impossible matchup for Yone. Dodge Akali every time she's on the enemy team. If you don't, take the Resolve page and double MR.”

Drewmatth Taliyah says “MELEE = PUSH EARLY (LEVELS 1-2) - CARE FOR GANKS! (SPAM Q'S TILL 50-60% MANA). Doran + 2 Pots or Corrupting if you feel it's going to take a while to take her down. Her kill pressure starts only at level 6 where her ult is deadly but that can be countered with Time Warp Tonic and MR. Get Early magic resist and roam first and you will be okay. If you hit your Qs post 6 and you get her down to 50% you can use your E as a deterrent and she will not be able to dash on you engage. Don't stay in her smoke for no reason and just all in her after she's below 50% hp and you are not. Mid-Late game E destroys her dash. If in a nerfed state, Akali matchup is easy. Currently she deals decently with Taliyah so proceed with caution.”

Fuzzmonkey says “With Akali's rework she acts a little bit like Zed, try your best to all in pre 6 and kill her (tilt her too). After 6 just make sure you save at least one distortion to get away from her. Also, avoid her E when you W into her (like Ahri charm mechanics) otherwise you will most likely lose a lot of the trades.”

iZianni says “This lane is extremely obnoxious because our damage is gated around by skillshots which is hard to land on an invisible target with 900 mobility skills. The key to this lane is punishing her early lack of stats and abusing the ranged advantage. Once she has gunblade it comes down to be killed or kill. Syndra can cast while moving making distance control the most important thing in this lane. I would consider this a winning lane but it becomes more dicey the longer the game goes on for team fights. ”

Ambitieux says “Should be a very simple matchup. Your autos out range her q, so you must focus on your positioning in lane. Do NOT ever use charm in this lane this is your only trump card over her until 6, and if used incorrectly will be guaranteed death. Safe charm for her E'ing and it is a free half hp chunk where you can pressure the lane under turret for a dive or for you to roam out. She is very linear based movements so it should be predictable with charm. If she ults you just ult away and you can't die. ”

SpartanDumpster says “This is a skill-based match up, but I would say Akali has the advantage for the most part. The thing with Akali's is they either flop about and trip over themselves, which you can just slaughter, or they're doing laps around you and successfully turret diving you by level 3 or maybe earlier. You rarely find an in between with her.”

Beginner Yone Guide by SpartanDumpster | Yone Player

BIG BRAIN MAN says “Laning will be annoying, but most Akali players flop outside of laning phase. Lvl 1: Her lvl 1 dmg and ms is absurd, mostly try to cs with q Lvl 2: A q + e + auto combo will beat her q + empowered auto. If she gets w second, you’ll win trade, but going for the shunpo is dangerous if she shrouds before you e in. if she starts e and hits it, she’ll win the trade hard. Lvl 3-5: It’s hard to all in her pre-6 due to her shroud. Stick to lvl 3 safe pokes, but shunpo’ing is still dangerous if she shrouds before you e in. Lvl 6: At this point, you can do a lvl 6 all-in because your ult hits her in your shroud, but you need to play around her ult because the first part of it will cancel your ult. If she hasn’t used the first part of her ult, don’t go for an all-in. ”

She's good at roaming and you're good at punishing roamers by getting the first tower. Her W will piss you of, but don't be affraid you only have to play safe until it's wasted and she dies. However, her mobility is against you. If you get hit by her E, you'll die quick. If you dodge it, she looses half her damage.”

Yeager says “Lots of harass with her kunais. Her W can dodge all of your damage while she can constantly go in and out to poke you until you're low enough for her to all-in. Avoid fighting her, and focus on farming with Q from a safe distance. If you coordinate with your jungler, you should bait out her W smoke before he ganks. ”

Yeager's Master Ekko Guide|Rank 1 Ekko world by Yeager | Diamond Ekko Player

Yeager says “Before fighting her, bait out her W smoke first as it has a pretty long cooldown. While it's cd, zone her as much as possible with your ball while constantly poking her with abilities and autos. She spikes once she gets hextech gunblade, so respect her damage at that point and don't overextend. ”

Yeager's Master Orianna guide by Yeager | Diamond Orianna Player

FalleN3 says “Pre 6, take advanatge of her weak early game. You need to try to zone her from her farm and deny her as many creeps as possible. Be sure to make good use of your ball and every time she comes up to last hit a minion, harass her. Once Akali turns level 6+ and gets her Hextech Gunblade the trouble begins. She has a crazy amount of sustain due to her passive and gunblade, morellonomicon can help you to reduce her healing ability. As with any assassin, she will try to burst you down quickly and having some extra health can help you to survive this. ROA is a solid choice and Barrier as your second summoner spell. Be mindful of her roaming to other lanes for kills!”

Use your spell when she tries to last hit, when she gets 6, she can os you so hug your tower a bit. Then, when she gets her gunblade, repeat the last operation. Try to clean the waves to roam and block her roams, try to guess where she is in her fog to charm her. If you manage to get her behid, she becomes a free kill. Good luck.”

FalleN3 says “You are both assassins so this is really a skill matchup. She will try to [Q] you every time you go to last hit minions but do not forget that she is weak pre 6 so try to abuse this. Once you hit level 3 it is possible for you to win trades against her and burst her down. Try to get ahead of her early and continue to snowball. I like to keep a pink ward for skirmishes with her but I rarely see others do this anymore. Use the pink ward for her shroud only when you are all-in on her (with jungler help) if possible. After level 6, it's possible for you to burst each-other down.”

AP WormMaW Mid says “Our beloved Akali, champion that is one of the hardest ones to play in a game in terms of mechanics, considering her quite low damage output. (#SarcasmEnd) Well, pre-6 you can do whatever you want to her, just be careful about her dash, that she has with her invisibility. Don't try to harass her in expense of lane minions, always prefer that farm rather than harass - expecially if she has Doran's shield. After she has level 6, don't ever try to come closer to her and farm only through your E and R. Any attempt to go on her face will mostly end in your death, even if you would rush Negatron (which you should do anyways, but it's not guaranteed, that it will always save you). So scale up, get your AP and try to oneshot her later on in teamfights. Otherwise you are doomed.”

Frixen says “Akali is a minor threat that can potentially be a major threat if played wrong. Always use your supreme range against Akali, poke her out, don't let her farm, and keep your gold card whenever she has 6 or bought items, because she will try to all in you. Her all in is extremely strong, so unless you play it right, you're a dead man. Akali is also not very much of a threat, because she can't roam against Twisted Fate due to his ultimate, and her bread and butter is her roams.”

Post 6, try to R when she's coming to you with her E, and W out if you don't think you have the damage, or take the trade if you think you do. You should be able to hold her in the sidelanes, and in teamfight, try to cc her so she can't do much. Also, if she's fed, get a zohnya to survive her all-in.”

Ambience14 says “Akali is difficult to land a Q on and can easily escape ganks. She can kill you, but only if you overcommit and play poorly. Most of her advantages against Mundo are simply her ability to escape. Versus most good Akali players, you won't kill her and she won't kill you. When she uses shroud to juke you out, walk around the middle with W on. This will reveal her location and pressure her to leave her shroud. If she uses E and R offensively, hit ult and run her down for an easy kill.”

Her damage early is nuts and if she goes in for a basic Q+Passive Proc start just poke back. If you can windwall one of her q's early she won't be able to win a trade because of how much energy she needs. If you can bait out her W you can go for an all in. Fight in a minion wave to give you a easier chance at dodging her abilities. Taking Oracle Lens is a good idea after laning phase so you can see what she is doing while in Shroud. Take Conq.”

Veralion says “HoB/DH/Beads. FINALLY she's been hit in a significant way. Her R1 now must be target-cast on a champion, so she lost one of her on-demand dashes and her engage range is significantly shorter. Her Q also cannot be spammed as much early, making the lane much less oppressive. Akali has the highest skill ceiling on the game; a good one will eat you and your team alive and there's nothing you can do about it. A bad one will do nothing and feed though, so you shouldn't have much to worry about playing into her until Diamond. You can take her Q all day long and get the health back, but her passive if shroud comboed properly will chunk you out of lane. Get a cs, take her Q, back off with W and Fleet's speed bonus, repeat. Farm safe and try to chip her down. At 6, don’t ult in if her shroud is off CD. She’ll slaughter you if she shroud combos properly and lands both ult hits, which with how ridiculously mobile she is is almost guaranteed. Instead, ult in place and poke her down unless she wastes shroud for some reason. Keep her on the back foot so that she’s too nervous to go all in on you or roam, which is where her real threat lies. E covers a good portion of her shroud so you have a good shot of chunking her while she hides. If she wastes shroud for some reason, feel free to tackle and nom her at your convenience. It will take an eternity to come back up. Make sure you dont ult over her so she can R1 through you to safety. BEWARE once she has Gunblade. She can engage and kill you from full in three seconds flat from over 1500 range away once she has that item.”

RikudouDovahkiin says “Somewhat a challenging duel against experienced Akali, but Vladimir can out-sustain and win the trades, when we consider early game, bait her Q and heal the damage, she will usually try to leap with W, avoid getting hit by Mark + AA combo because it deals really a dangerous damage even at the level of 2. Her items are obvious, she can make a good use of some of her items, yet if you do not build any MR, avoiding her damage in team fights can be such trouble. In lane you shall focus on outwitting and winning little trades, you can use your E to reveal her in the shadows, or even get the kill. Make sure you don't basically fall behind, care for enemy jungler and you shall be OK in 1v1, she has some click-on skills, not a very-high skill cap and match-up itself favours you in some moves, situations. Use them to kill her, she is relatively a tanky mage Ignite + R can be useful when she hits low on HP.”

Iruminati says “win against Akali is quite complicated because she can burst more than you and can easily dodge your spells. If you play against Akali, you can try to fight her pre-6 thanks to your AA and conqueror. Try to force her to use her invisibility and re-engage her right after. Gagner contre Akali est assez compliqué vu qu'elle burst plus que vous et peut facilement s’échapper de vos sorts. vous pouvez quand même tenter des moves en la forcant a utiliser son invisibilité et en fightant quand elle ne l'a plus. De plus, vous pouvez essayer de la tuer en early game grace a vos combos et vos reset d'attaque.”

snukumz says “Pretty easy in lane since you out range her, but you can't really poke her out due to her sustain. You can kill her with your combo, your ult semi-reveals her when she's in shroud form. She's a major threat because she mega dunks you once she gets items and there's almost nothing you can do about it, except hit zhonya's really fast and hope you teammates can punish her for diving you. She's very frustrating to play against in the late game since she 100-0's you instantly, even if you have banshee's/zhonyas. Consider skipping Rabadon's and getting morello's and liandries for the extra HP when playing against her.”

AZIR MEN says “Lane can be very easy, but very skill dependent. Poke her as much as possible. Respect her when she uses shroud, like walk away for a few seconds.

LightningTemplar says “With additional nerfs to Akali, perhaps we now have a slight possibility of not getting demolished in lane. In lane, as long as she has energy up, keep a safe distance and avoid getting hit by her Qs. Farm with Q and from lvl 3 play more aggresive. Post 6 you'll often want to R before using W, since it is an important gap closer for when she uses her R. Her shroud also makes it really hard to hit her, either waiting for its cd or getting an oracle lens might be handy. ”

Ghostwalker562 says “The thing is she's easy to kill, the other thing is if she's a good akali she will dash away right when you almost hit her.

huynhlinhquyhoa says “Let her use W first, your W will kill her easily. Akali is one of those champ that can outplay you easily but since your Malzahar you still win the game. You impact in the game is a lot more important than her's. She's good at roaming and you're good at punishing roamers by getting the first tower. Her W will piss you of, but don't be affraid you only have to play safe until it's wasted and she dies. However, her mobility is against you. If you get hit by her E, you'll die quick. If you dodge it, she looses half her damage.”

Ekko Rush B Guides says “Akali is a hard matchup. She has much lane sustain with her passive and will always poke you with her Q. Her W will also fuck up any attempt to trade with her, because of her invisibility. You dumpster her pre-6, at least when she doesn't have W up, because you simply have more damage early on. Once she has Gunblade, do not fight with her. You will wonder how fast she can one-shot you before you even thought about using your ultimate.”

Poke from afar and then all in. -----(Patch 10.3 Note) Akali has been gutted. If you keep out of her range she cannot ult engage on you anymore.

She needs to get close to minions to farm effectively, so abuse this as much as you can. Make sure you pop your passive shield when she uses her ultimate, or take barrier.”

BigBushMan says “Personal favorite for permabanning. Despite her being at a range disadvantage, if she gets within 2 ft of you post-6 you are dead. Freeze the wave under your turret and ask jungle for a gank. You can outscale her as long as she isn't able to roam to side lanes to kill. Be sure to take Exhaust”

Low Elo Xerath Guide by BigBushMan | Xerath Player

ahrienthusiastmain says “You have the range advantage and need to freeze the wave. It's much harder for her to land her E when you can just hide behind your minions near your tower. Her E is also a straight trajectory so that's a guaranteed charm. In her shroud, her movement speed increases, so you have to back off. She can kill you with her ulti, but you win trades if land your charm.”

It is really hard to land skillshots on her and she will dash on you everywhere. Just farm and play safe and hope for ganks. I put this in major rather than extreme because of the Akali nerfs that are coming up. With less mobility, Akali should be a way easier matchup.

Try not to stand to close to the wave to avoid her kunais and look for when she steps up to punish with Q1 & 2. And one last thing, try not to hook when she goes invis, you will usually miss.

E_IS_POWER says “Reworked Akali is also a quite difficult matchup because she's able to spam her Q's on you, and dissappear with smoke bomb when you're engaging. You have to bait her Q's by walking in and out, and try farm with your Q. You can also "fake" a engage in order to make her use her smoke bomb, and then you can all-in her. Be sure you have a minion wave around you when you're fighting, so you can dash around and make it much harder for her to hit her ultimate as both charges are skillshots. Take oracle lens after the laning phase. It won't reveal her, but it will show where she's going so you can still hit her with Q's.”

DravensBukkake says “Barrier matchup. When I say barrier, I'm not really saying Akali beats Azir, but rather Akali is just too fucking slippery for you to kill her. Harass her early, walk back if she uses shroud. Shroud has a very long cd (20+s) so when she uses it, make a mental note for the next 20 seconds, you can play agro and setup soldiers aggressively. If she lands her E on you, E Q back into your turret and meme her own play by making her tank turret shots. Try to use ult when she's E'ing in, or after her first ult charge. Remember, you can also ult her out of her shroud. Otherwise, not a difficult matchup, but an annoying one. You can outshove her and you'll usually have priority for fights and roams.”

Level 3 and beyond is a skill matchup, typically if she shrouds the trade will be favored to her so bait it out before fighting her or immediately disengage if she uses it in the middle of a trade. Post 6, you can ult in the middle of her shroud and it'll still hit her, giving you a large advantage, as if she stands in your ult she'll take very heavy damage if she doesn't have the items to burst you down herself.”

However, you can easily harass her with your Q in the very beginning of the game, but once she has her ultimate available, BACK OFF! On a side note, when Akali uses her shroud, if you used your Q before she enters her shroud, then your Q will always land unless they use stopwatch/zhonyas/etc, in which case it will miss. If she builds her items before you, she wins, otherwise, it's a skill matchup until lategame. Late game, you should be able to waste her if you use your ultimate. But all in all, until she has her dashes, deal damage to her when possible without getting too close!”

Euphoric Toaster says “This matchup used to be much worse before Akali got nerfed, but its more manageable now. Her Twilight Shroud (which makes your turrets unable to target her) is annoying, and her multiple dashes can make her hard to lock down. If she ever follows her Shuriken Flip you can get an easy stun on her as shes locked into the animation. If she ever gets low and hides in her cloud, you have 2 AoE abilities that can hit her and finish her off. She also has to get very close to use her Q and Passive so that can give you opportunists to land easier stuns.”

unownreality says “Gap closers and a huge burst potential. She has one fatal flaw, which is her squishiness. Wait for her to use shroud before you zone off with singularity. If you hit a q, she does have some healing which can possibly defend against a burst death so be wary of that. ”

kilgta says “Do not out shove or do not go far in lane when both of you are full hp. She will 1 shot you if you overextend. Use wards to not get ganked. Wave management is key. Your ult denies her being a hoe in her clouds so have fun countering her. start corrupt.”

MechaaZero says “Simple and straight. The rework made this alot easier than before; if she lands an E on you, she LITERALLY runs in a straight line right to you. If you have your E up and aren't trigger happy, then this match up will be in your favor.”

CC Diana says “Akali has much more outplay potential compared to her previous iteration. Akali's level 2 burst is quite strong since she can do combos such as E (backwards) -> Q -> AA which results in an instant passive proc or Q -> E -> E -> AA. This is a matchup where I would recommend taking E ( Moonfall) at level 3 instead of level 4 simply because you can use it to pull her out of her shroud assuming you are standing right in the center of it. Just treat Akali's shroud like Katarina's ultimate Death Lotus. Save your E for when they use those abilities to nullify their effects.”

maplecat21 says “A good akali is a threat, but even then, your ult kinda screws her over, so it's not that bad. She doesn't heal off of Q anymore either, so you can poke her down with E. Save Q for when she goes onto you.”

Eternal Winter - Controlling the Game through Waveclear by maplecat21 | Diamond Anivia Player

Boy0Champ says “Reworked Akali is also a quite difficult matchup because she's able to spam her Q's on you, and dissappear with smoke bomb when you're engaging. You have to bait her Q's by walking in and out, and try farm with your Q. You can also "fake" a engage in order to make her use her smoke bomb, and then you can all-in her. Be sure you have a minion wave around you when you're fighting, so you can dash around and make it much harder for her to hit her ultimate as both charges are skillshots. Take oracle lens after the laning phase. It won't reveal her, but it will show where she's going so you can still hit her with Q's.”

Altis says “All-in champs are definitely your biggest problem as Zoe, if you miss your E that it. Akali is dangerous because when she comes for you, you can't see her. Though she is quite predictable, so just wait for the right time to E her and punish. Otherwise stay safe.”

Ponito says “Akali is a super counter of Yasuo. Play with Jungler. Get early MR item. Fight when her W is down. Play around cooldowns. ”

Yasuo by Ponito | Yasuo Player

RagexAddict says “Another skill matchup for Fizz. Akali can be rough to deal with in lane, due to her energy resource and not having to worry too much about lane sustain. Your saving grace is that she is also a melee champ. So in order for her to CS, she has to put herself in harm's way. If she ever spams her Q twice in a row, go in on her, because she will be very vulnerable to a counter attack.”

hadi902 says “most people think she is a hard match-up but actually she is pretty easy you can easily counter her by letting her land her E and then you dash back to the turret so she gets stunned when she pushes then you hook her to the turret even more and she will be pretty much dead. ”

Yegie says “She is melee so a lot of potential poke from your E's passive. Her smoke cloud is very annoying, but when its down you have the advantage. One trick you can do when near tower is let her hit her E then W under tower after she starts her dash. A good akali probably won't fall for this.”

LyndonK9 says “Akali is pretty annoying because she wins trades easily, and doesn't have mana. It's pretty obvious when she tries to Q you as it doesn't have a lot of range so keep a good distance. One trick to know is keep a little more distance than her Q range and Q her back, because for a short duration after using your Q, you will be stood still. keeping out of range of her Q, and still getting yours off. When her passive is up walk away. If she uses her second part of her e on you, you can charm her, but most Akali's aren't dumb enough to do that. When she shrouds it's possible to quickly charm her if you can guess where she is. Do your best to farm and follow when she roams.”

borsamalac says “Hate play vs her , before lv6 u have small chance to get cs lead but if she starts with dorans shield u will just waste your mana. Try to free auto her when she wants to farm. Best way is stay under tower and farm. At lv6 u have no chance , ask for jungler help and roam botlane with package. If u farm under tower just put controll ward+ normal wards on river. U will know if akali wants to roam(possibly botlane) or just stand on brush and waiting for you. If she moves botlane just ping it in time and pray your botlane doesnt overstay and give her free kills. If she waste her times to gank sidalanes and u can farm Trinity safty its a win-win situation. Just ping every time she is missing(common mistake when u try to farm under tower u dont realize she is going side lane) and put down wards for good spots. ”

Dodge shuriken if there's an opening between you. Respect her shroud, but remember you can still hit her with your abilities in it.

AzureArmatt says “New Akali is really easy to play against in lane but when she gets her items she can become a trouble. With her new kit Akali players tend to rely on her obscure mechanic that her smoke bomb provides to tower dive you while having really easy time to run away. Little they know that when they follow their mark after you get hit by shuriken they still can get hit by spells and your charm too so wait until they get close and charm them so they won't be able to use shroud after dash (only safety tool). Poking her and dealing short bursts of damage will give you best results before going in for the kill since her sustain with Q isn't enough to heal her back. On low HP watch out for execute ability her ultimate provides since it can execute for really big amount when she put 2 points into it. Don't fight when she's in shroud, she has advantage while in it (also can't really hit her because of obscure mechanic) but besides that it's easy match up where Ahri has big advantage.”

Escape to gold with one champ by Olenka05 | Diamond Veigar Player

OmegaSquadVeigar says “This matchup isn't necessarily hard but it's INCREDIBLY annoying to deal with. Through levels 1 and 2 try to poke her for every cs she tries to take (an auto or auto q auto for the electrocute proc). Try to freeze it closer to your tower so you can farm safely after she gets lvl 3 and be at less of a risk after lvl 6. What you shouldn't do is ever try to trade with her in her shroud, just walk away and wait for it to time out, then you can try to get some free autos and q's. If she hits her E on you, wait like 1 second to see if she immediately follows it (if she does drop your cage so that the edge of it is just right under your feet). If she doesn't, just wait cautiously prepared to drop the cage. If you ever waste your cage and she's close enough to land the first part of her R and she does it, Flash instantly and try to dodge the E, if you don't.... Well, you're dead unless she's really behind and you've got MR. In the mid game and late game this matchup is easy, again, as long as you don't waste your cage you should be able to burst her down with GLP W Q if she doesn't have her Banshee's up and she doesn't dodge them. (Zhonya's is a death sentence for her late game due to W Q having ~2 sec cd).”

You can try and predict, but she will most likely just wait in her w till deathmark has popped. One good thing is that there is a chance that she will buy Hourglass later. Which is good. Lategame there is a big chance that she will engage. If this is the case - go ahead and kill her. BTW you cant do anything ti reveal her. She is invisible, so you can do nothing unless you are under tower. Or have kleptomancy - for some reason. (DONT HAVE KLEPTOMANCY)”

qasddsa says “You can dodge her ultimate with Riftwalk and can just wait out her shroud. In lane, she's relatively easy to deal with by just poking with Null Sphere and maxing Force Pulse. Outside of her shroud, she's extremely easy to burst down with a stacked Riftwalk and full spell rotation.”

WhiteSheepz says “Akali is an assassin this is usually always a threat to Xerath as she can dash towards you and get up close meaning your range means very little, as Xerath fire a W or a Q into her smokescreen as even though you cannot see it you will likely hit her and deal damage forcing her to not risk going in on you. Try to poke her and stun her whenever she dashes towards you.”

HeroTerbiyecisi says “She is stronger than you in early. Play carefully but u can destroy when she makes mistakes. You are stronger in lategame”

Skeptil says “This match up is a hit or miss. If you can kill her pre-6, then you'll have an easy time winning. If you aren't able to kill her pre-6, she is able to all in you if she baits out your Sanguine Pool. Just rely on baiting out her W and then harassing her with Transfusion.”

toalkey says “Annoying shroud blocks E and W, free heals, and crazy early scaling makes it hard to play into her.”

LCAU says “Should be skill matchup. Just Q to poke and then once she's lower than you, all in her since your ult counters her W. Start Dark Seal imo.”

Draczor says “Unwinnable, Akali is just too strong and there is no real way to counter her. She's got great sustain and getting too close to her will let her deal at most 2 Q's and one AA that will leave you with half HP. Try to not stay in range of her Q and get hit by her Shuriken. If she got's ultimate you definitely do not want to be too deep in lane cause she will just straight up kill you. Luckily she get's banned most of the time but if not and you end up facing her in the lane, try to farm up and not die.”

Dralexus says “Akali is most of the time my MUST ban. As AP Malphite you rely on poking up to lvl 6 and then going all in as they are half or less health. With Akali this is hard, she can heal easily over time and can just hide in her smoke to deny you Q/W and even ignite. ”

TruMediaMix1 says “Like Zed, Akali is very difficult to play against if you don't have experience playing against her. She can deploy a smoke bomb that makes her invisible even to turrets. Play very carefully if Akali is your lane opponent - or you could potentially be this monster's meal needed to feed her.”

BilgRat says “I ban akali every game cause it can one-shot you as soon as she get lvl 6.”

Captain Gangplank by BilgRat | Gangplank Player

Andicus says “Mostly 50/50 depending on skill but you can beat Akali fairly easily. She will most likely wait for you to ult before using her shroud so try to bait it out before going in on her. You can find where she is if you hit her in the shroud with your E. After you do that you could Q where she was/will be. If you aren't confident in guessing where she will be after you spot her with your E, you can wait until the shroud is gone. Though, your ult will be gone by then. ”

ThePhantomPsychic says “You know, i didnt think Akali would be that bad when she came out, but i was wrong. Her invis just cucks your q.”

rimzaki says “U can hit her even he in twilight pool with ur E R and W She has sustain but not like bloodlord If she be level 6 u must save ur sanguine pool for hers ultimate u can rape her easily cuz he hasnt basic attack rage like u”

Gambinos says “This champ kit is way too strong, she has high burst and with her shroud, you cannot use your ult on her. ”

Sozzoh says “Akali is scary post-6. Pre 6, you'll want to try and abuse her in lane if you can. Still be careful, because she has some damage. She can dash over your ult, so don't even try it. Roaming for kills is ideal in this matchup to gain a lead from there instead. Don't waste your Q, or else she'll all in you.”

Superior current says “Your poke is able to surpass her sustain early, but be mindful of ganks, avoid her shroud and after she reaches level 6 play passive.”

Katapullt says “Open with E+W. Like that you will still hit her when she uses W. Use your AA and your auto reset. You can use your R when she is invisible. Her Q is no problem but dont let her AA after. Get a Dorans Shield so you can trade Q's with her.”

Witwickies says “The biggest problem while playing against Akali is fact, that plants, Zyra's main damage source, doesn't target Akali while she is inside cloud created by her W. As Zyra is very squishy, you can not let her come close to you.”

Doctor_Dr says “How to counter: Cage her shroud so she can't escape well. If she uses her E to dash to you, counter it by putting a cage in front of you to make an escape.”

undeadsoldiers says “She can be a pain in the ass. You have to make sure you can land your Q when she goes in on you with E. She will W after it so just get away from her. The heal on her Q is insane and so is the damage, so avoid it. Try to deny and zone her cs with autos.”

ctt13 says “Akali is incredibly strong right now. You win Level 1 and 2, but lose incredibly hard as soon as she gets gunblade. If the Akali knows how to play the champ she will win most trades as you have no answer to her shroud.”

Kaeze Poulsen says “Akali's high mobility and extreme burst is a no-go against ASol. Actually, she sould be banned on your match eather way. You can roam and help others on your team while she does not have that much roam potential. But you can take Barrier or Exhaust to mitigate a little bit her burst.”

asffg123 says “With the newest update, Akali is a lot more vulnerable pre-6 and has short range. You can abuse this with your ranged auto attacks and spells. She has no way to counter your E, and has no burst unless she hits you with a shuriken. Once she hits 6 though, she will gain a power spike. You are likely to have an equal laning phase. Warning - This champion can and will roam to counter a safe playstyle. Ping accordingly.”

DuhBrandon says “Probably your worst nightmare to go up against and that's all because of akali's W that being reason why she is perma banned in high elo right now. as an akali main all I can say is if she uses her shroud go under tower and try and bait her with your yellow card because if she tries and attack you you can stun her in the short time she reveals herself hopefully enough for the shroud to run out and hit her with that beefy punish. if she hits you with her e go under tower. if she hits you with her E and you have half health and she has her shroud and ignite just accept your death.”

Canttouchthis123 says “If you go even or get a lead on her your should be fine. If you give fb or she makes a good roam play you may be f*****. Diana has no escape abilities except maybe to raptors or scuttle. Her shroud will allow her to wait out your aftershock. I'd suggest skipping nashors against her and going straight for zhonas or lich bane since you wont be able to auto attack her much.”

BattleXD says “Cassiopeia does good against Akali if you respect her shroud and damage. early game you do way better then her because of your range and because you can stop her E with you W. After she gets R though its a different story. if she engages with her R try to R her so you stop the rest of her bust and cant get executed by the second proc of the R. Early game just poke when she is poisoned and try not getting hit back this is kinda simple because she isn't that ranged. ”

Smol Jelly says “New Akali is a skill match-up personally. Since all of your abilities are skillshots, you can hit her even in her shroud. Her E's second cast is a linear dash right at you, so you can easily stop it and burst her. The trick against her is to be reactionary, but try to zone her out when you can.”

Resl says “Unless you have Cataracts, you can kill her, your w will counter her w, making her escape, if she engage, ult and fight, pre-6, harass and don't kill as she can kill you and snowball”
