Akali Counters :: Counter Picking Stats for Akali by CounterStats

Daers says “She can dodge your ultimate with her E and R, so don't use it as long as those two abilities are up. This also applies to Zhonya's Hourglass which she gets every match. Be aggressive off of her E cooldown, and avoid all-ins post 6 unless your jungle is there or you are ahead. ”

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. ”

Avucado says “One of the four characters I would suggest perma banning, although she is my third choice as of now. If Akali does not take shroud lvl 2, you want to actively look to e through them and make them use their pots early. Be aware of her lvl 6 as she can easily kill you and is arguably the best champ at keeping on top of you. Shroud in general makes it almost impossible to get a good trade in on her and you should look to roam or spam ping for ganks. ”

Aethlo says “Akali has equal wave clear. || Akali loses pre-3 || Akali wins pre-6 (Annie can punish Akali with her range if played properly) || Akali and Annie are even at 6. || Annie outscales Akali. || TIP: Chunk her early if she hasn't gone fleet footwork. If she has, just focus on the wave for a level 2 all-in. At level 6 it is a very close fight. You have to stun her to win. If she gets the jump on you - you will be one-shot unless you have stun up. Make sure to Q her to guarantee the stun - Akali is slippery and can avoid tibbers. DO NOT GET HIT BY HER E (stand behind minions).”

iZianni says “Champion got hard nerfed, it's still unfun to play against if she has multiple items. For the purpose of laning, Lux has an extremely easy time against Akali due to the range advantage alone with poke windows. Akali is unable to keep up due to the Q nerfs. She can still kill us instantly though if we mess up!”

Challenger Lux Guide by iZianni | Diamond Lux Player

Yeager says “A lot of players struggle in this match up but it's winnable if you know how to play it out. Level 1 Akali will try to Q spam you with empowered auto attacks. The key here is to intentionally walk within range of her Q and then immediately out again to make her use it and miss. If she does that twice within a short amount of time, her energy levels will be super low, so she can't trade back. That's how you trade with akali in the laning phase. She also likes to use her back flip whenever you engage with Q3 to dodge your knock up, and maybe even follow you back. Her shroud is what makes it hard to trade with her since you're an auto attack / skill shot based champion, so you want to make sure it's on cooldown before you go for any fights. Try to bait it out with fake engages, and keep in mind the cooldown of her shroud is around 20 seconds, so whenever it's on cooldown, that's when you want to force fights. The first cast of her ultimate will make her dash behind you. If you're quick enough, you can time your ultimate to potentially knock her within tower range for 1-2 shots, the moment she pressed R1 on you. She can cancel the R1 animation with her back flip, so keep that in mind against good akali players. ”

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. ”

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.”

Polarshift says “Not the absolute worst matchup for Ryze to be honest. Your E will still hit her if she uses shroud inside a minionwave and when there is no minionwave there is no reason for you to be anywhere close to her, other than potentially poking with max range Q. After lv 6 try to dodge her since she will one-shot you with her ult.”

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. ”

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).

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. ”

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. ”

Katawina52 says “Look for trades pre 6, after that the lane gets way harder. You can go Verdant Barrier here if you struggle a lot vs an Akali so it's way easier to survive. If you're struggling, resolve tree is a good option (go Second Wind, not Bone Plating) to be more forgiving when she pokes you with Q. Remember that you can ult while Akali is in her shroud it's really useful to know that. When you're low hp try your best to play conservative and reset, she can easly dive with her mobility + shroud.”

Eriosunx says “Akali has a lot of lane-poke and can easily outlane Katarina, she can also 100 to 0 Katarina when she hits level 6. Best option is to play safe and the optimal build is ELECTRO+SECONDWIND starting DSHIELD or DARKSEAL I usually ingore lane , pickup TP+INGITE and play for sides.”

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.”

If you try and hook her and she E's on you to avoid it, you can expect her to then reactivate her E to dash toward you, but you can then in turn E to pull her into the turret for a kill. With that being said, Akali in general is quite easy to trade with, and if she pops her cloud, just walk away to avoid it. If she is low within her cloud however, you can also risk ulting inside and perhaps be lucky enough to kill her, though Oracle Lens is usually what you should bring against her post 6.”

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.”

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.”

wildersovereign says “Do your best to avoid trading with her early on unless she blows both her Q and E or if she is low on energy. She will out-damage you quite easily and she doesn't require mana to do so. Her E makes her annoying to kill, but its cooldown is pretty sizeable (16 seconds at Rank 1), so take advantage of that window.”

BE AWARE OF HER BUFFED ULT CD, IT IS VERY LOW NOW. However, major nerfs to all her items and especially her Q energy cost makes it much easier to duel her, and even easier in the late game. Do not fight her at 6 unless she sux, and you have jungle help.”

I usually ban her in my games so i don't really know useful tips but i guess that you dont want to fight her till you get Rocketbelt or junglers help. You also want here to get your wraiths to heal from em. Try to not go in her melee range and remember that her ult is powerspike so she can easily kill you in lane.”

Johan Paracelso says “She moves, like A LOT. If you are against Akali, she can beat you easily, her E and R makes her a difficult target, and her W can charge up her Energy and give her some stealth, so, you can't beat her jhust like that. Playing around cooldowns can do the trick, try to bait her E to go in with your E Q3 W Auto trade, or, you can wait for her to use her W so you are sure where she is. If you don't have Cooldowns either, just play safe, stay healthy, and wait for your jungle or your two items Power Spike”

Rermo99 says “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.”

Mortality is weakness~Choose your Style~Malzahar Guide by Rermo99 | Diamond Malzahar Player

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.”

[11.3] Command: Attack - One Trick Orianna Mid by Sylvan Lore | Diamond Orianna Player

Aikairi says “She beats you at all phases of the game. She can use her E to dodge your daggers, use her R to get out of your daggers as well as escape your Ultimate, and also has a second activation to dodge another one of your spells. Last of all, her W is just overkill at this point. It's a safety-net to ensure that she can kill you or run away if she messes up hard.

Fox_Gan says “Akali is hard to deal with, cause of her smoke [W] and mobility. Try to avoid her [Q] daggers or take them with your passive shield. Use Oracle Lens to try to find her in smoke and push her from it. Once she starts to be visible, use [R] to don't let her disappear than push her from smoke.

Excalibxr says “This matchup is very hard to win on Katarina, I recommend walking inside her Q range to bait her Q out, and E behind her to dodge the Q. Currently, Akali only has 200 energy and her Q costs 100, so if she misses her q, it is harder for her to trade. When you E behind her, make sure to use w and move unpredictably, because if she lands e you always lose the trade. Past level 6, just look for roams if you are not ahead as akali can easily one shot you. ”

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!”

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.”

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.

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.”

You can also always know where in her shroud she is with your passive. Things get really tough when she hits 6 because that gives her enough mobility to avoid you q and burst you down.”

Delirium's In-Depth Yasuo Guide Season 10 by DarkM3tal87_ | Yasuo Player

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.”

AP Shyvana Mid: The Lizard Wizard by Veralion | Diamond Shyvana Player

Bartoos says “You destroy her early on as she can't get close enough to you to kill you. Poke her out of lane as much as you can and delay her 1 item powerspike (gunblade). After that she can kill you with ease so be careful with that. If she dashes to you try to push her away and run.”

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.”

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.

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. ”

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.

t3rminated says “This karate girl is gonna start hopping EVERYWHERE. She has insane mobility so she can escape your entire combo. Tossing a smoke would deny your combo as you can't be sure where she is walking. Her ult and E can boost her away from your R and knockup. If you ever miss your E, you are DEAD. 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. I can't say this for certain though, so I still put her in major. ”

Eccentricks says “Despite her being dogshit right now, Akali is a bit of a tough one. Hold your E1 to dodge her shurikens, and then look for a opening to put the hurt back onto her. 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. It's worth an attempt if its up and you've used E1 already, given it wouldn't put you in danger.”

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.”

Claves says “Level 1 Akali heavily out damages you. Level 2, you out damage her if she takes shroud. If she takes shuriken she'll win any trades. 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.”

Cloud375 says “Ok, so the new Akali is VERY different from the old Akali. She can now dash towards you a lot early game, which is a very bad thing. 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.”

When trying to ult her, here's the criteria: If her E us up, but R is not: Flash to secure the ult. Only if you think you can kill her. If her R is up: Force her to use it or flash without using yours. Try to leave W or E up to escape if she tries to re-engage when you finish ulting. If she has neither: Go for it.”

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.”

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.”

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.”

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. ”

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.”

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).”

LuxIsMyCrush says “matching against akali can go even very good or horrible, if she is a good akali you will had a very hard time, try to poke her as much as possible and be careful to always dodge her E, when she get in her W u can basically cover her with your E to damage her more, and maybe force her to retreat from that zone”

The Light Of Demacia! [9.3] by LuxIsMyCrush | Diamond Lux Player

MaybeHope says “Akali is not that hard to play against. You can bully her in the early game and use Mantra Q when she is in her W. You will most likely hit her when you aim in the middle. Since you have selfpeel and cc she will most likely not be a threat to you. And besides that you are the one who outscales her. At teamfights you just peel for the one she is ulting”

[WIP/Build Done] [9.3] | Embrace Your Inner Mantra: Choose Y by MaybeHope | Karma Player

apsonalol says “Akali é uma match up muito complicada por que as skill da sona precisa de target e quando ela entra na fumaça fica impossível você fazer qualquer tipo de coisa, o melhor a se fazer nesse caso é rushar zhonya o mais rápido possível e tentar intervir nos roaming dela, entregue a lane phase mas sempre preste atenção pra ultar ela em team fights ou se você tiver noção tentar prever os pick off que ela pode querer fazer.”

undeadsoldiers says “Akali is a decent counter aswell.Especially after her W changes with that blink it is so easy to dodge charm.She has insane burst sustain with gunblade and passive which kinda problematic for Ahri since she doesn't want to all in without poking her target a little bit and most importantly Akali is one of the few champs who can keep up with ahri's mobility.I always pick Akali and destroy Ahri if the enemy picks her before.”

[9.2]Play Time's Over [IN-DEPTH AHRI GUIDE] by undeadsoldiers | Ahri Player

moutenn says “ She should be an ok easy kill pre 6. After you cant really kill her unless she is the one who engages. If you open with r, she will use her shroud. 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)”

Zed Season 9 moutenn guide by moutenn | Zed Player

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.”

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.”

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.”

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.

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. ”

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.”

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.
