Tips Against Akali in Middle Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
“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.”
“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.”
“Not the 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.”
“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. ”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“if you kill her before level 6 you win”
“Easy match up , you can out damage her in early game , also your e counters her w (smoke) go to centre and use your e to see where she is.”
“Easy lane until level 6. Watch out for her all-ins. Try to Q her first when stunning her, she could easily dodge your R.”
“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.”
“Play extra safe. Her ulti's first cast STUNS you, so watch out for that. Also try to poke her in lane whenever possible, she doesn't have as much damage as you in the early game (unless you allow her to get close). ”
“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!”
“Easy pre-6 as with most melee champs. Simply poke her down and don't get into melee range for any reason, lest she proc her q on you. You may want to buy Zhonya's depending on how good the Akali is. All of your abilities are AoE so her shroud does nothing to hinder your power! She snowballs hard and is always relevant in the game so respect her damage and don't int. Then win!”
“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!”
“Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86OW-_y-LPc
Super easy, her range and waveclear is awfull. She can't breathe in lane against you and she has hard time getting over your wall. In teamfights your ultimate also knocks her from her shroud. Stay with your ADC and she can not do anything.”
“Can 1v1 you, respect her cutlass and gunblade spike. Look her items constantly as its important to see if she buys hexdrinker, qss or mercs.
electrocute + biscuits timewarp tonic
You cannot match her in sidelane if she is good, so respect her.
Your cage is a great tool to cuck her in teamfights with, thats ur strength.”
“Akali has huge amount of harass. If you take full combo from Akali then you will not be able to trade. You will have to dodge her harass to be able to trade back.
If you dodge her Five-Point Strike(Q), you should be able to trade. Another Good news is that your Poison Trail will be able to go through her Twilight Shroud(W). Your Adhesive cancels out her Dash AKA Shuriken Flip(E) and her Ultimate AKA Perfect Execution(R) as long as she remains on your Adhesive. Nonetheless difficult match-up.
(Recommended core items: Rylai)
(Mega Adhesive Stops Perfect Execution )
(Fling Overrides One Stack of Perfect Execution)
(Sustained 1v1 Trades: Akali)
(Outscaling Edge: Even)”
“Similar to most assassins, play safely and be aware of her kill potential, which is usually high, and extremely so post-6. She do be weak in solo queue tho, so I'm downgrading her”
“Avoid her Q poke and start Corrupting Potion. Poke her and trade with her whenever but don't fight in her W. ”
“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. ”
“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. ”
“Rush hexdrinker or you will get oneshot when she gets level 6. We can stop her from ulting us by freezing the minion wave in front of our tower. Losing a few cs is fine against assassins, because the important thing is to NOT give them kills. ”
“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.”
“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.”
“Very easy to poke in lane, don't go anywhere near her shroud when she has it up. And all her whenever you get the chance, always make sure you're behind minions too then she'll never be able to hit her E.”
“You can hit Akali through your smoke with all your abilities, just wait until she shows herself through the smoke to land an AA. If she bursts on you, dodge her ult attacks with your R.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Used to be a fairly difficult matchup for Zed, but she can't sustain in lane as much anymore. Her Q not healing her anymore means your poke is actually meaningful in lane, so look to poke her with your superior range. However, her shroud does make her an annoying target to assassinate, so make sure to bait it out, but most of the time you will be trading your w for her shroud. ”
“High Burst Assassin Ap with defensive tools. Morellonomicon First Item.
Also Magic Resistance can be a good choice . ”
“good sustain and high mobility with damage. the only time that you can fight is most often when her shroud is on CD. ”
“She can be quite hard to handle especially if they understand the matchup even a little but if you play around your boxes well enough it should be easy.”
“Trinity Force and Wits End should do the trick. Watch out where you ult since she can follow you with her E.”
“Don't start trading under Level 3, freeze the lane, Death's Dance is optional, careful with your position when she casts W”
“Insane damage and can ignore your dueling w/ her w. Wait out her w's and get an early hexdrinker.”
“Akali is really annoying you dont want to all in her unless she has used her e because she can easily dodge your daggers. Keep in mind you can ult when she is in her w. You lose 1v1 when she has ult you need gunblade do kill her with everything is up”
“D-Blade. Look at what keystone she is running. If she is running Elect she is looking to all in. If she is running fleet she is looking to sustain (duh.) 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.”
“Akali is a bit like Diana, except she has more kill potential in early game. Go for poke, but don't push either. Try to go for a trade when her E or W is in CD. 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.”
“she could jump around you. Make her waste her Qs so she has no energy and you can trade with her. Save Q2 for when she becomes visible when she smokes.”
“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 easy pre-6, but after she gets R you need to be really careful”
“See chapter on Akali”
“She shouldn't have much kill pressure on you when playing correctly, however, she can also avoid your Q and R rather easily. Don't waste your Q or she will run you down. Hold it until you need it and make it count.”
“Just like the Yasuo matchup, this lane's difficulty will depend entirely on the skill of the Akali player. Bad Akalis are fresh pickings while good ones curb stomp you. Keep in mind her W transfers into Death Realm due to a bug. ”
“Can be a hard match if its a good player. Try to reach level 6 before her and its an easy win on your lane.”
“You can cancel most of her skills with your Bodyslam, you can cancel her E second cast and both of her ults, you can use your bodyslam or ult to knock her out of her shroud aswell.
Take the electrocute rune setup so you can trade better during the lane phase.”
“This can be a hard match up as Akali can dash in and out which makes it hard for Malphite to trade with her early. Later in the game she still has the ability to kill Malphite, but depending on how she builds malphite could blow her up if you can land your whole combo. ”
“Her Entire Kit is a zed counter but at the same time its still a skill match up in my opinion. Due to micro stun removal you should have a easier time killing her”
“When she dashes to you stun her midair and engage. If you want to make a Akali's day hell pick Galio”
“If the Akali is good, she can be really scary for Anivia. If she's bad, she's no better than Anivia, even sometimes worse than Anivia. ”
“Stay safe in early game. Watch out for her Gunblade spike. You can take Exhaust, although its not necessary.”
“She is so dangerous with her mobility and attacks but you can see her in her smoke, if you hit her with your E.”
“Akali is pretty easy for Talon, especially after all her nerfs. Maxing Q into her ruins her day, and make sure to not spam your W while she is in her W unless you absolutely know where she is inside of it.”
“ 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.”
“Not hard to deal with you can bully her perma q early game unless she plays with fleet. Do not try to 1 v 1 her unless you are 100% sure you win the trade, she can do some ninja shit and burst you down in an instant. Care for her level 6 because if she jumps on you, you are pretty much dead unless you dodge her second r. ”
“Só tome cuidado com o 6 dela que é muito forte.”
“Stay away from her W, you can throw E into the smoke but care. She can dodge your W with her E and then come in again.”
“Akali is a very similar champ to you, it will all come down to skill. I recomend to keep your distance and be wary of her second ult, she can catch up to any safety dash that you do”
“Use your windwall to block her Q and E and you should be fine. Be aware of her insane gunblade power spike”
“Dshield
You need to respect a good akali. Save your E to counter her E(really good if you can pull her under tower). Be careful using E on her as her E can dodge yours.
At the end of the day the match comes down to player skill.”
“She can poke use E AA AA Ecute pot to make at nice hp to kill”
“A good Akali will stomp you because she will be next to impossible for you to hit unless you get an early kill and manage to keep her behind.”
“She decides what will happen, and you are just forced to make plays elsewhere. She can go in and out faster than you and also push you into tower while also poking you. Her cloud completely renders you with the option to stay and die or E out and survive.
This is my everytime ban. ”
“Taste of blood is helpful. Very scary at first, but gets easier. Dont get poked by her q. You can win this lane, but you have to punish her if she wastes her energy or smokescreen. You can dodge her r2 with e. Dont r until she has no e or r unless shes really low”
“She can jump in on you and deal a lot of damage but if you save your Q for when she's going in you can negate most of it. 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.”
“Again,more or less the same,very hard to land the E and maybe even the R,your W isn't as useful as It could be since a lot of his damage is Magic,she has quite a lot of damage once she hits 6 and is really dangerous on his first ítem,however,she is an assasin like zed,and like him,if you manage to survive the initial burst your Life Steal and conqueror will win the fight you just need to extend it”
“Shes not really a big counter but it's super-annoying to play vs her”
“Personally i don't have an issue with akali, she's east to bully early on and i usually run Dark Harvest against her and farm her for stacks. However, her all in can hurt a lot too if you get caught too far out without your R. Just keep her low and don't give her a chance to throw herself at you with her full damage. ”
“Use ur Q and E to poke her when she hits her E and jump to you, kill her or trade electrocute dmg and back off.
”
“Akali really struggled to do anything against Bard as she doesn't have the range or engage to deal with him. You can poke her early on and you can win.”
“Poke her down early, lvl6 u lose”
“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.”
“Before level 6 you can win trades as long as you keep her on range, care for her ulti at level 6 and if she uses it, try to punish her for her long ult cooldown!”
“Definitely a dangerous matchup If she knows what she is doing. Usually you can trade her easily and ruin her early game but later on she will be able to one shot you eventually. Pay attention and think twice about your engages.”
“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.”
“Avoid trading with her. Akali's sustain in lane is better than Talon's. And only trade with her if you are sure you can kill her.”
“Skill matchup. I really don't mind akali, you outrange her so just keep poking her to get her low and make she miss CS. After you get Lost Chapter just poke her and call for ganks for easy kills. If you see she is ganking push your wave quickly so she can't roam.”
“she can dodge your q and all in if your too close, mind your spacing and use your q when she will be creep blocked.”
“A lot of sustain, beats you 1v1. cant see her in shroud. hard to kill with R due to zhonias and her sustain.”
“pretty much any champ that gets in melee range pre 6 is an extreme threat in the 1v1. taking exhaust to essentially guarentee a free lane is ideal. ”
“Going to fit a disclaimer here that I have not put every matchup in this guide”
“Do not waste your ult, when she uses her smoke. Just wait till she has low hp and then vomit on her”
“A good veigar beats a good akali. She cant really engage on you as long as you have your E up, because it is a ez Stun. Also you can burst her down later, meaning she cant go in her shroud if u press R before.
Also u can poke her in lane. BUT keep in mind: She is an ASSASSIN!”
“Akali is unbeatable, seeing as how she is the most broken champion in all of League of Legends history.”
“she will be anoying level 1 and it will be hard to farm against her early but you just combo her on cd and walk away and once you reach level6 your ult counters hers so don't worry ”
“Not much of a threat if she doesn't have Untargetable Smoke.
Try not to take too much of her Q.”
“you can just farm and outscale but if you wanna trade try to make sure you have Super Q or dodge her Q”
“to much mobility, if she goes with electrocute be careful, if she goes with conqueror it will a easier matchup just poke her and do short trades”
“Beware of her early laning aggression you don't win trades. Try to bait her shroud out with fake aggression.”
“Skill based matchup; Akali will look for any opportunity to proc her passive then AA, use that opportunity to full combo her and burst her down.”
“Ban Akali. -- Level 5 Threats lock you in lane, have high lane pressure and high kill threat.”
“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.”
“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.”
“A good Akali player wont make it easy for you, you can go for pokes in the early game.”
“One of the most extreme matchups against Zoe. Pre-level 6 its fine but after that she can towerdive you anytime and if u miss your E, Your pretty much dead meat!.”
“Land Q so she is visible in her W. Keep her outranged. Phase Rush recomenned.”
“She can be pain in the ass after 3, but if you're good enough, she can't beat you.”
“She shrouds you back away simple. She ults you run/ult her/flash whichever you need to do.”
“don't fight akali in her shroud, she wants you to do that (because she'll win)
once her shroud is gone, that's when you go in with any combos”
“She's just as slippery as you. and is dangerous up close. she'll also scale fast than you unless you focus on lane HARD
just dodge her shurikens and kunais then use your Q and sometimes your ult when she dashes towards you
save your Q for when you're pushed up on her tower and save your ult for her's and try to use it for her second ddash”
“You can outdamage Akali when you have your chackrams in check. Still, poke her, get the lead, and do not chase her.”
“In early game, poke her with your AA, you can even start with a doran blade if you want. You have to pressure her. 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.”
“There's not much to say, if she gets invisible you can get invisible too as well and just kill her, you can Counter her at any point of the game, you can also ult her to remove her from her fog”
“Take Comet. Avoid trading as Mini Gnar while she is in her shroud. As mega Gnar, you can Ult > Q > W her while she is invisible.”
“Both champs are strong in 1v1. It will be your time to shine as soon as you hit lvl 3 and when her shroud is not available. But be careful, you can get easily punished if you do not execute good enough.”
“if she is a good akali and manages to dodge your bubble all the time, she will kill you easily, and the trades will be one sided, other than that she is easy.”
“Very easy to lane against, punish every time she goes for a Q”
“She got buffed. Akali sort of feels out of hand at the moment, but nothing to cry about once you poke her down. Post-6 she can try to run you over, but smart stun field placement can get you out pretty safely.
Preferred rune: Phase Rush/Electrocute”
“Akali can be invisible in a fight and I don't know if that stops turrets from working but if it does thats no good”
“Wsunu baitlerseniz oynayabilirsiniz.”
“The only annoying part about Akali is that she can do invisible but your third Q can still hit her a majority of the time so not a big deal. ”
“Skill matchup. Step away from her shroud and bind her if she dashes to you when you're marked.”
“another unfair champ out there, make sure to ban her every game”
“Pretty hard matchup she will out trade you early on try to poke her down with q and if shes low enough you can all in her. Also you can ult her even if shes in her w.”
“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.”
“Annoying skill match-up roam to struggling lanes and get fed if you can.”
“You win trades but her shroud is very annoying. Try to E her before she hides in her smoke because it gives you true sight. ”
“Heavily counters Sylas in the early game.”
“Don't take Qs and you can burst her before she gets gunblade.”
“Easy lane until 6 where it only gets slightly harder.
You poke her out with Q and speed away with E if she shrouds.
She pokes her head out even once out of the shroud in duels, you can Q/Ult and she's screwed.”
“Stay away from her shroud, unless youre confident enough of her position in it. Other than that, you can solo kill her if she goes in first.”
“Most Akalis are overconfident, but if you're up against a good one, just make sure to be on the lookout for her ult.
Respond with your own immediately, or as soon as possible. If you manage to stun her during a trade, she's pretty much toast.”
“Akali can be very troublesome and dangerous, she could be a serious problem because of her damage and high kill potential so if you are not confident ask for a gank or roam.”
“More info in the match up section”
“I honestly enjoy playing against this champion, because she is so squishy, and cannot dodge your Q (which is highly satifying) by going into smoke. Only problem is she can roam and get fed.”
“Abyssal Rush

----Rune Page: Electrocute, Taste of Blood, Ultimate Hunter, Zombie Ward, Bone Plating or Conditioning, Overgrowth.----”
“Due to Akalis extreme mobility and all in she can make it very hard for you to 1v1.”
“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.”
“can land abilities in smokescreen, poke pre 6, then make sure you play back and farm from a distance unless you've gained a large lead. your range> her burst.”
“Not too bad, at least for an assassin. ”
“Hard to deal with Akali by her W, an she's very annoying at first game that can make you have a hard time. But you can counter her when she used E back to you that you can E an stun her.”
“you obviously outscale, but you cant fight her early at all and she is stronger till lvl11, also gets ad+conq early so thats abit of a problem
fleet+dom”
“She is hard to 1v1 she can dodge your r with her e and she can cancel your q with w so wait for her abilities to go on cooldown before going in”
“You can bully her pos 6, after that be careful with the ult of her. ”
“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. When it is off cooldown, bully her even harder. If she lands an E, place a soldier behind you, if she takes it, drift to your turret.
Take conq or electrocute.”
“Q>W>E her when she tries to go for her Q harass combo. Damaging her in her shroud reveals her location. You can use E, R, or Ignite to do this.”
“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. ”
“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. Also she has so much range and a lot of CC she can be a bit difficult to even touch. So play safe and only commit if you hit her, because if not, you never will.”
“Be careful when her ult is up, but other than that she's pretty easy to fight against. You can out range her by a lot so use that to your advantage.”
“Skill matchup. But Akali is a trash champion right now so even if she gets a lead you can still easily win. Don't die in lane to guarantee free win.”
“shows akali but all assassins are terrible ”
“Akali shouldn't be a problem to play against. Her w can be annoying as she loses focus of your turrets, although the charged up beams can still hit her. Make sure to use your rockets to reveal her. If she hits her e get ready to stun in front of you and if she uses her ult stun behind you. ”
“Ban Akali -- Level 5 Threats lock you in lane, have high lane pressure and high kill threat.”
“lol if you lose lane to akali its time to give up on ziggs.”
“Same thing as Kat. If you die to her once during laning phase you will lose. If you sleep her, you can see the outline of where she is in her shroud, therefore making it easy to land your q.”
“just dont use your abilities if shes in smoke, if she gets out AA her.”
“Her twilight cloak may bother you when trading, you should try to bait it in order to make an all in combo after it expires.”
“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.”
“all you have to do is dodge her E and she cant do anything if you play safe, try to ult her we she haven't the R and u will kill her
”
“Take Electrocute. You will win early trades with her by punishing her when she pokes with Q or goes for minions by using both procs from your Rake (W). If she lands her E and tries to dive you while you're both at even health, flash under your tower to get the tower aggro on her, and do a trade combo + ignite to instantly kill her. Remember that if you kill her early, you can transition a lead on her for the rest of the game, but if she kills you early, you will either go even or heavily lose to her.”
“Akali is kinda close ranged, but don't underestimate her. She could easily kill you since of how much a long cooldown Veigar's abilities would have until late game.”
“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.”
“She's one of the champs who easily out trade you. Her q range is longer than yours, she can shroud so you can't hit your e,q to trade back.”
“Since the changes on Diana, you can no longer just 1 shot her and she'll just continuously out damage you. Look to get ganks early, bait her shroud and back away before trading. never trade when she has shroud.”
“Akali's kit is super good at breaking your tethers. Multiple dashes/passive Movement Speed and high damage make her very dangerous to take head-on. Attempt to bait out her abilities and save RW for when she burns most to initiate on you. Zhonyas/Twin Shadows/Hextech GLP are your best bets to impede her mobility.”
“I fucking hate this champion but it is actually a pretty even matchup for trox. If you land your shit you usually win, especially w.”
“Akali's kit is literally designed to beat champs like ekko. She out damages you and has enough mobility/stealth to avoid your damage. Your only chance to fight is when her E is down and Shroud is down.”
“DASH DASH DASH SMOKE MORE DAMAGES THAN YOU
Try to punish her when she goes for last hit in early and full combo her.
You win trades if she has no ult. Try to use your second E to counter her E and cast your ult”
“It used to be an "extreme" matchup but after her nerfs it's really even, you can easily out-trade her in early game”
“50/50 matchup , dep only on your trades and pokes”
“Don't trade Q-s early she slows you and you lose more health. You can trade damage when she has no energy but she can go invisible and regain half of her energy.”
“Akali can output a lot of damage if they get on you, or even in range of her q. If she hits shuriken flip you will be fine your cage stops her if she tries to engage. Make sure to get a good ward so you know where she roams to.
”
“r te mata, no es tan peligrosa. si sabes jugarlo sabes jugar en contra
(elec/libro)”
“Somewhat a skill matchup but Ahri has an advantage. Stay out of Q range and save charm for her E2 and post 6 save it for her going in on you in any way. 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. Just keep out of her Q range and poke her when she drops below 100 energy early since her Q nerfs made it harder to spam early on.”
“After the nerfs she's even more worthless than before so you can just destroy her. Take ignite/teleport.
”
“Has great one shot potential and gap closer. Her W will make it difficult”
“Akali is a skill matchup and even then i find it slightly Zed favoured. You can run any rune page against her though i suggest Zed Sorvery, Conq Zed, or even Roam Zed.”
“Very good matchup for Galio. Don't all in her before level 3 and try to use your w defensively.Don't underestimate her .”
“DO NOT ALLOW AKALI TO Q YOU AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. You beat Akali level 1 since you have the ranged advantage along with your W. Use that to your advantage. Push when you know the enemy jungler is nearby HOWEVER be careful that Akali won't walk close to you when pushing. Just make sure Akali does not roam. You can ult Akali out of her shroud. You can intercept Akali's ults with your own ult. You can intercept Akali's 2nd E with your ult.”
“W bastığında q atamamanız sinir bozucu. Ayrıca hareket hızı kazandığı için sisteyken rahatça gelip q atabilir.”
“Balance between poking her with Q and securing minions. If she uses shroud, get out immediately. At level 6, your ultimate is used to run from her shroud at level 6. If you are low on health, consider basing. Roam if you have priority.”
“Really easy matchup. Just wait for 3 and weq, weq and weq until shes dead”
“Melee vs Melee out trading and out scalling her”
“Since she is an assassin, she beats you. You can out roam her and you also out push her.”
“a little bit tricky but u can hit her with your e when she is in her shroud, after lvl 6 u should be fine against her”
“As if right now Akali is not in a good spot. She is still hard to deal with because she can all in you at lvl 6. Try to stay behind minions so she can't hit her E”
“Akali is a pretty rough matchup, but now since her R no longer has a stun it's slighty easier to lane vs her.
Doran's shield start”
“Akali's changes in patch 9.3 severely weakened her early game and her turret diving capability. As such, her threat was lowered from Major to Minor. Akali is easy to defeat in lane. 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.”
“If you can poke her down early and keep her hp down you will dominate lane. Care for level 6 powerspike”
“Although Akali players are very dangerous after hitting level 6, they are in some way squishy and your ultimate is the perfect counter for her Twilight shroud since it hits invisible units as well. Punish her with an all-in combo once she jumps on you.”
“- She wins extended trades against you
- You can outpush her with your Q and Passive and look for a roam
- You win most jungle 2v2's
- Look for short trades you can disengage from
- If she waste's her shroud and is relatively low, you can try and combo her, be careful of her E'ing backwards
- Ult sidelanes and try not to let Akali snowball”
“Akali has some Strengths against Lux but Mostly Lux will win in this Scenario, Akali keeps Getting Nerfed or Buffed so this is Situational”
“As long as you don't get hit by her e then you should live. Don't use your e if she has e or r up because she can just dash and you would just lose your e pressure.”
“E-Q is your friend because it hits through shroud. Her R cooldown matches yours now, don't be stupid and waste your canopy it is a great way to counter her shroud on a much lower CD, Hexdrinker if you need it, granted it probably will not save you”
“Max E , as she is very mobile, if she doesnt have w you will win fight”
“His early stronger than yours pick armor rune cuz he probalby start with dagger and with basics he trades you. If you win early until lvl 6 you can kill him just care for his ult.”
“Akali mirror is not possible in ranked. ”
“Not as dangerous then the other 2 but Akali still can burst her down very fast, with her shroud making it harder to land your charm and Akali is still very mobile, but her E, W, R is also on a very long CD not making her as dangerous as Yasuo or Leblanc.”
“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.”
“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”
“You can block her q with wind wall but you can't ult her when she uses her w/shroud and you are vulnerable with her ult. Expect to see her cooldown a lot since her cool down was shortend.”
“Nuisance. Play it safe, keep your range, poke her down. If she steps up with her shuriken dash thingie you can flash into tower range, Q her, then ult and she should die. You can also see her in smokescreen if you ult her. Only a champion when she gets hextect but her hextech powerspikes puts her above you for quite a few minutes. ”
“Akali is OP cause she basically can only pick fights that she can win, play safe and make sure she doesn't snowball”
“Akali's Shroud makes it nearly impossible to trade with her. Track the cooldown and try to bait out the shroud before engaging her head on. Also, your ult provides true sight which allows you to see her in her shroud.”
“You punish her in the early levels, after that it's really doomed. Cant cc her consistently because even if you flux her with E, you wont have enough time to cast W and root her in your minion wave. Try and dodge her honestly, shoving and scaling is your best bet.”
“Avoid fighting her early, and trade as much as possible when her shroud is down. Make sure to preserve mana, as she uses energy. Your ult and ignite can see through her shroud. Stay far behind minions to dodge her Q and E.”
“this champ is stupid”
“WHEN SHE ALL IN YOU ARE DEATH, JUST RUSH ZHONYA ON HER”
“Don't go to her range.
Poke from distance.
You can counter her E with E + W combo.”
“You need your jungler's help. CS'ing and roaming is your best bet.”
“You outdamage her at almost every point of the game, your W range is also higher than her Q range so this should be a pretty easy lane. Her W has a lot of outplay potential though so play around that.”
“If she hits an ability back off so she can't get an empowered auto. Season 10 Akali can't spam Q as hard anymore. Remember her R1 is Champion Targeted. Try to fight when Shroud is down. If she tries to finish you off with R either cancel it with E2 or W. Good ult for skirmishes or solo kills. ”
“Purely skill matchup slightly in favour of Yasuo after Akali nerfs.
Keep an eye on her Energy levels, and trade accordingly, if she wastes her Shroud you can look for a trade.”
“Hard for AD Irelia and hard for AP Irelia. If facing an Akali get a sweeper so you can land E, but it won't really matter whether or not you land E because you can't target her with your Q in her shadow and she'll always outdamage you in 1v1s. Farm tower and look for roams vs. Akali, do not try to solo kill her.”
“Never fight and if she goes onto u immediately cast w and try to proc passive and run away as soon as possible, if your too slow to it then bail. Look to roam at lvl 4 toplane and just keep roaming.”
“Do not get too close to her, you can't win before you build some.aim for the farm mostly.”
“be confident with your ability then you can beat her (but Akali 1v1 only possible in Normal)”
“Extremely annoying to go against, you must bait out her W in order to win fights.”
“Akali sometimes gets out of her way to prove that you're all Ahri with no Evelynn. Teach her a lesson by either banning or asking your jungler for ganks.”
“Akali is an extreme threat because she has access to so much MR itemization. She won't be able to kill you but she'll pressure you by the fact that you can't damage her which will be extremely annoying. ”
“dorans electro be carefull her 6”
“with akali try to trade as much as possible inside the minion wave so she cant hit her E”
“With her recent nerfs, she's less a threat, but it's Akali, if you are more skilled than her, you'll win easily.”
“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. ”
“her Q heals when her energy is nearly full so if she has low energy she wont be able to heal up, use that to your advantage and don't forget that her first R stuns for a short duration which could stop your ult.
try to dodge the E, if she uses shroud at the first few levels you either go away for a bit til she shows herself, and in higher levels you just gotta ult to get her.”
“add notes for this threat? its Akali,
F dat B”
“I HAVENT REALLY ENCOUNTERED A MATCH AGAINST AN AKALI PLAYER BUT FROM WHAT I HEARD YOU SHOULD NOT TAKE HER LIGHTLY<3”
“simple ...... THIS BITCH BUSTED
you wont be able to land your charm if she flips backward with E or stealth in on her W or dash twice with her Ult
just play safe as much as possible and warn allies if akali is planning to roam”
“She can punish you for missing your Q, her all in is strong post-6. Buy zhonyas to dodge her R2. ”
“Counters Zed pretty hard with her W. If she plays over aggressive and burns her W you can try to all in, but she can avoid your Q's fairly easily. Just play safe and you should outscale her.”
“Super easy to poke. Your AoE abilities can easily hit her even when she's shrouded. If she engages on you, just use your ultimate.”
“Read in counters section:”
“Very tough matchup, Akali outscales Kha'zix at every moment in the matchup. You can eventually get a kill around level 9 when your Q is level 5.”
“she reys on her energy more than you
bait her W before all in her and before R'ing her
you can wave clear better since her early doesn't really have a real wave clear skills and look for roams if she's playing safely ”

by theboywhodominatedaplat | Zed Player
“Her W can deny your combo, but your R still hit her while invisible. She's stronger than you in early, but you can kill her 1v1 at level 6 if you are able to bait her W.”
“The Akali before the rework is easy, but now it becomes hard. Her shroud can be a problem, get Hexdrinker if you are not confident. If you get ahead, it is not easy to snowball, if you get behind, it is easy for her to snowball you.”
“free-est lane in the west”
“Akali can dodge the whole combo of sylas and can punish him real good”
“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.”
“Might be hard to hit her because she has a lot of movement skills .”
“Bait out her shroud and then fight her or just try to get lvl 2 before her and kill her, DON'T TRADE WITH HER LVL 1 CUZ HER Q AUTO Q COMBO DOES GOOD AMOUNT OF DAMAGE and just don't fight her when she has her shroud up unless you are ahead”
“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.”
“Similar to Irelia. She has insane damage and mobility. With her e and 2 dashes from the ultimate she doesn't care about your wall. She has the best tower dive potential, so nowhere is safe against an Akali. Farm for the late game and try not to feed her.”
“Starting Item: Dark Seal + Potion
Shes not as big of a threat as you could think. You can damage her in the smoke. Just stay out of range.”
“You won't kill her, and she has a lot of burst damage to deal to you on trades.”
“Possible a tuer en 1v1 si l'adversaire joue mal mais si l'adversaire joue bien il n'y a aucun counterplay et vous allez subir toute la phase de lane JOUEZ SAFE”
“Never try to trade with Akali when she has her W, force her W and try bursting her later”
“Ever since patch 7.19, your ult can be dashed over, which makes her more of a threat. She has a lot of mobility, and once you waste your Q, she can all in you. Keep your ult for her. You can either ult her towards your turret to kill her, or push her away defensively. Though, she can simply jump over it now.”
“After her nerfs, she's not too bad. All her dashes are straight lines, so your bubble should be easy to hit. Respect her damage. However, she can easily kill you. Maybe consider barrier or phase rush, but normal works fine.”
“Her shroud does literally nothing against you and you're resilient to her early game bullying. Relatively easy lane to beat.”
“Don't get too close, q when Akali dashes.”
“Akali is similar to LeBlanc where she can stealth to negate your damage, the only issue is that she can pop her shroud whenever she wants, a good akali can just dance around you and burst you instantly, it is a winnable matchup but its safer to look for picks in the JG or by roaming most games. ”
“Too much mobility and early game damage for you to contest. Rely on jungle ganks and your late game scaling. Remember, play passive. Bait her into your shrooms. catch her off guard and then poison the ninja out of her.”
“Dude, you are COMPLETELY in control of this lane. Soldier positioning, and your positioning, if done properly, is all it takes to ruin her life. You push better than her and you can punish her as much as you want. Hardpush, punish her, be mindful of ganks, you have dominated lane.”
“She has a lot of mobility which permits her to dodge shurikens.”
“Akali is probably one of the harder matchups since she can jump out of your ult as she pleases. But she's easy to counter pre 6 like Zed. Bully her and she shouldn't be a problem.”
“Her Q damage early levels hurts, so be wary of the range of it. Most of the time you won't be able to get in reliable aa's to proc your passive, so stay back and poke with your e.
Don't blindly throw out your q unless you're either very far back or 100% certain you will land it, otherwise she can jump on you with full confidence and likely kill you.”
“Just dont let her poke you. Wait out Smoke. If she lands her e just tornado her. you can bully her a lot and roam after you push wave.”
“Most of the time is this a skill vs skill match up. Dodge her Q and E and make sure to trade with her while her W is on cooldown. Jungle pressure could make this lane significantly easier for you. ”
“This matchup is heavily dependant on your skill , as Akali can 100 to 0 you if you give her a chance. ”
“a fast and very agresive midlaner with is not good for viktor you can try to stune her with your w when she is inside cloud but she can easly doge it and is hard to hit with E because of lots of dashes she also can easly run from your ult so she is kinda dangerous for viktor
”
“W is the dumbest ability in the game. If you're good, save W for her ult. Just try to outfarm and stay 1-2 items ahead. ”
“You win trades if you avoid her shroud. Level 6+ you should look to chunk her in a single stacked R combo while she is low on energy!”
“I can't hit her. She just goes like AOIGFHASDOFNJAOUIGNWQPDCOQ and what the hell? Anyway, just keep your calm and aim safely.”
“Be cautious with Akali. She can 1v2 you and your jungler still kill you if not played correctly. Try to dodge her Q's and wall her E's to prevent a fight where she has a W advantage.”
“This matchup stinks, would be extreme threat if not for the nerfs to Akali's early game (Q cost 120). When she casts E2, E behind yourself for the stun.”
“Slippery, hard to combo out. She has a lot of sustain, i usually take tp and i dont fight her.”
“Very hard matchup. Play safe and seek help from the jungler.”
“Ever since the 10.3 major nerf on akali. she has been pretty bad and is a pretty easy matchup. Simply pressure her and try not to get baited into going all in when she has enough energy to burst you down.”
“(R) Pretty hard to play against, your funneler and you can't target her while she's in her shroud, her burst also makes it hard to play against, so just try to farm and wait for your partner to come.”
“Keep baiting her into daggers early for an easy kill, When she hits 6 and she ults onto you, you ult too when she goes into her shroud.”
“Gegen eine gute Akali kann man nichts machen als Kata. Zumindest wenn man über Gold spielt. ”
“Go ludens rylias for this match up, if you play in YOUR minions she can not e to you. use your q range and spacing to get effective short trades or let her shove the wave into you farming safely undertower. eventually you out scale her so look forward to level 16 powerspike.”
“Mess up once vs. Akali and you're pretty much done for”
“Her W is useless because of your R and if she E you, it's almost every time a free stun.”
“Same as ahri but you can bait her to use her E into your E and executing her in the stun duration”
“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.”
“As long as you play it smart you will win this match up. There is not much she can do, her dashes proc your E and they are linear so she will dash directly into your Q as well. if she does in her shroud throw down your E. Any time you land your W on her you can kill her.”
“One of the hardest lanes out there,
you can try to fight her before 6 after that you either wait for a perfect opportunity or you try to poke her out with your q while trying not to get hit by hers”
“Threat level depends on the player, just know you can see where she is if your balls hit her in the shroud so you should be able to keep some easy distance.”
“She can avoid your AA with her W, however you can burst her faster with combo, and copy her ult to execute herself.”
“Threat level 7.
She can kill you. It's obvious she can, but if you're careful, you'll be able to get her to over extend and take a bad trade. Her early is weak and if you take things slow you'll be able to keep her weak and unable to kill you easily. ”
“Just hit your Ults correctly and your fine”
“use W and hard to kill becouse he can easy escape”
“Burn her with Q, if shes invis you can still demolish her”
“Not a hard match-up... she is just difficult to kill early. This makes snowballing and getting First Blood unlikely.
I win my games by 1v9... Akali makes getting started crazy annoying! Thats why I rated her a "5".”
“She's annoying but you can e her while she's in shroud as it covers it all. make short trades and you can burst her down later”
“she must be controlled before starting her W , try to catch her with your E before she uses her W”
“still an OP assasin and Kayle is squishy”
“If you didn't ban this bitch, then all I can say is good luck.”
“skill matchup he early game and 6 are annoying”
“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.”
“bring aery and try to poke her down and make her waste her shroud so you have a fighting chance”
“Straight Skill Matchup Even Post Akali Nerf!!! ”
“She will fucking destroy you if you're new to Soraka mid so if you are new, just ban her. You could always learn how to deal with this bitch later.”
“If she casted her Shroud you can try to combo her.
If she has her Shroud available she can dodge your combo.”
“Pretty hard lane, one of the known Snowbally match-ups, whoever kills first the enemy will pretty much dominate the lane, try to ask for a few ganks early game and avoid dying. (2x Dorans recommended).”
“Can be problematic when she has her shroud available.”
“After the rework, her E will fuck you up because your R isn't always up in a fight. Confusing. ”
“She got pretty useless, watch her energy.”
“Did you mean: That one assassin that's very boring to play against?
Honestly i never lost to an Akali but you have to be careful. She can one shot you. Your shield WON'T cover damage. Poke her from the distance, then go all in. ”
“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!”
“after 3 you should win easy untill 6. Bait out shroud. Watch out at 6 and get a null-magic mantel to decrease her strong ultimate. Only 1v1 her after 6 when you are full life, because her ultimate has execute damage.”
“https://www.proguides.com/leagueoflegends/champions/Yasuo?role=MID”
“Hard lane, watch out for her multiple gap closers, stay healthy in lane and under turret, if you survive laning phase you'll be rewarded with a 10 times better mid-late game than her. If she's fed you might want to consider buying a banshee's veil. Run Phase Rush and double mr glyphs”
“Hard lane, watch out for her multiple gap closers, stay healthy in lane and under turret, if you survive laning phase you'll be rewarded with a 10 times better mid-late game than her. If she's fed you might want to consider buying a banshee's veil. Run Phase Rush and double mr glyphs. Use your W to see if she's roaming, spam-ping the hell out of sidelanes when missing, she has great roam potential”
“ She will poke you down with Q and if you try to go in she will just W, E, flash or even ult. You could try and get a kill early. buy hexdrinker and MR boots. Remember to farm.”
“Everyone hates this champion. Q does not show Akali during W, which means one shotting Akali is impossible if she has her W up.”
“Very good at shutting you down early. I'd advise against level 2 all ins against her. Wait until 6.”
“Literally the same reason that Yasuo.”
“Higher Mobility champs causes his/her skills predictions are a little bit harder but you can always land your W at the right spot which he/she would stop by and do your skill order ”
“While she is in her smoke, she can be very annoying to deal with. You can use minions to hit her with your dash AOE and dash out, or just disengage until her smoke is down.”
“Ask for your jungler's help, if she smokes, you can still hit her and your jungler will also see her position. ”
“Skill match up. Try to dodge her "e" so she can't all in you. Ori is much better in team fights, so try to stay safety at her lvl6”
“You need your jungler's help. CS'ing and roaming is your best bet. Akali outdamages you easily in early game. ”
“Annoying due to her sustain. You'll have to match her sustain with runes and items if you want to win the lane. Mistakes will be heavily punished.”
“Same as yasuo, easy matchup.”
“Not the biggest threat ever, unless you're ranged so poke her, win early and you should be alright.”
“Play Safe, When she dashes to you be prepared to flash under tower, then hook and drop all abilities to keep her there.
(Always freeze the wave,
Gankable,
Gets Outscaled)”
“You go even in lane, get ganks ”
“1.Make sure you get nullifying orb
2.Always stick to the left or the right side of yours minion wave and hard shove .why????She have 2 choices,dont use her q and get shoved or use her q on the minion wave.
3.Talon cant trade with akali, she can simply q -shroud-auto-q-auto and auto win every trades.
4.Talon goal vs akali is hard shove the wave,then make play with ur jungle”
“try to burst lv2 all in after that wait ur hexdrinker”
“Akali is extreme threat for Zed!
Try to play safe around her!
Best way to win against akali is waiting for ganks or playing agressive early and going for Romas and snowball!”
“However, everytime i play against an Akali i lose lane or get poked to death. So just ban her or play passive against Akali.”
“it will be a harder matchup for u cause of her mobility this means u will get harder stacks on passive”
“She uses e u e under tower.... just watch out for her ult”
“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.”

“Akali is really easily to beat in lane since she can't do nothing against you. Make sure when she Ult you, put your e behind so she is guarantee to be silence and stun.”
“As she is melee, you can harass her with auto attaks and Q every time you can. If she goes invisible with her W, you can use your E in the center and you will probably hit her. If she ults you, you just use yor W, but that is not going to be useful out of the lane beause she can chase you.”
“Not as high as malzahar, but she just fucking murders everybody anyway so what can we do about broken champions.”
“It's Akali.....Just Akali”
“play safe and go in only woth R and dash away after R and dash in again”
“Don't lose your passive to her Q or E, this way she'll lose half of her damage/mobility. Her shroud is... pure bs, don't stay under tower or you'll lose minions AND your life because she can dive you whenever she wants. Your E is your best friend, when in lane if she uses her W try to route it inside the minion wave, this way you have a chance that it'll stick to her and reveal her. If you keep your distance you should be gold.”
“You should abuse the fact that she hasn't reached lvl 6 yet. Akali will get strong when she gets lvl 6 as she will have high mobility after then. But if you throw her out of the game by killing her before she reaches lvl 6, you can take advantage and continue poking her with the gold advantage you have.”
“Kennen vs Akali. It is an even match up, but it can get out of hand really fast. Against Akali, you do want to avoid as many mistakes as possible as you can get punished so easily. What makes you a strong opponent against her is your Ultimate Ability, as well as your passive CC. Poking her with your W passive basic attack will add pressure towards her.”
“Try harassing her early,don't let her farm safe until 6. All her kit depends on her passive and ulti. On early levels don't get too close to her,respect her damagecause 3 passives on you is all your combo to her.”
“Play safe and take aftershock if you farm up you can do just as much dps as they can but you have aftershock to stay alive.”
“Trade when her W is down since she cant hide from you.”
“Akali can easily win quick trades when in lane. To succesfully defeat akali in a one on one fight, engage after akali's shroud is out of play.”
“You can burst her in Early Game easily but it won't be easy when she's in the dark circle of her W
Your R is useful to dodge her R especially R2 which does much more damage”
“She can be a pain if she plays a more passive lane, you can see if she is in her shroud by throwing your Q into it and your ultimate covers her entire shroud, making it easy to kill her whilst she is shrouded”
“OOF, They are very annoying, they can easyly kill your turrets with Q and autos, they move very fast and they W make the turrets reset the target, changing the focus on minions or else.”
“Overall pain in the butt for just about every champion in the game and Heimer is no different. ”
“Oh boy.
She rivals you at level 1, so respect her Q and attack her once she backs off. AA Q AA at level one is a nice "hey I can respond to you, so don't just walk up". 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.”
“If you can catch her out of her w she is dead all the time, you outscale her and blow her up later. ”
“Even tho you can poke relatively easy, the substain she has make her difficult to burst down. Be careful to not get hit by her Q and you should be fine.”
“Very mobile + Hard to catch by your stun. try to bait her and play safe against her”
“Don't let her farm better than you or his level 6 will be stronger than yours. Be careful because she has tons of sustain.
You can deal damage if she's in the smoke, but back fast with your E after hitting her.”
“Quite a painful laning phase, you will need to poke her with autoattacks and keep a safe space so she cannot outdamage you. Past 6, she will also be really annoying to deal with.”
“It depends on how good the akali is, but most probably you will need help from your jungler”
“Massive poke and sustain, her shroud screws your comb up.”
“Could be a little bit dangerous”
“Elusive and hard to kill. Set up a play with your jungler.”
“Akali Is A skill match up whoever is the better player will win”
“If you catch her in her w everytime she tries to get you well you'll win mid.”
“No more obscurity means your chains reveals her now! Even throughout the root duration!”
“Skill matchup, try not to force trades if you're not close to your tower as she wins extended trades. Look for all-ins when her W is down and shes low on energy.”
“This is an OKAY match up. Her 6 is more powerful than yours if she lands the second part but all round so long as you play smart she won't be able to kill you and late game you'll leave her in the void.”
“She is hard to deal with. After level 6, play with extreme caution! If you get hit by her E, try to put her to sleep as she dashes toward you. This will let you do damage to her, or at the very least, put some distance between you two.”
“Women do not stand a chance against your fear inducing birds of destruction. Same goes for the ninjas. Even though an Akali is able to much more damage than a Yasuo overall, their Shroud will be pointless as your Drain will give you and your teammates True Sight, allowing you to expertly kill her. ”
“Akali counters talon and wins lane almost always, wait for her W to go on cd do not get close to it she will spam her q's on you and run away while you just sitting there and tanking everything. If you aren't sure in your ability to kill her call for jungler ganks and burst her with your full combo. Remember make her waste W.”
“If in low elo this is winning lane,but against better akali's play carefully”
“Just dodge her E in lane and stay far from her shroud.”
“Hard matchup for syndra as well. She can kill you even from behind if you fuck up once. Remember that you can cancel her 1st and 2nd part of ult with your E. so don't panic.
Be very careful with your e, don't throw them out randomly, if she is good and knows it's down she wins the all in every time.
Poke her when she goes to farm with Q and once she's sitting at 70% life look to all in with 5 ball ult + ignite for kill.
cannot stress, DON'T MISS E VS AKALI!”
“Pressure Akali with E Q and W to retire before her level 6”
“IF she is good, its going to be EXTREME but, if she is not that good... with the glacial build you can stand a chance.”
“Make short trades only when you have your passive. Ignite her at the start of a fight to see her in the shroud. Always fight in small minion wave or equal wave.”
“Again a skill matchup, avoid getting hit by her E by standing behind minions, hexdrink would be good here. ”
“When u go farm she is nonstop pressing Q so wait for lvl3 and take so much rock element and and comb her like take water element E her Q and AA her take fast rock element Q and AA her ”
“Take the PRECISION(1) rune path.
For more information go to the "Detailed Matchups" section.”
“Her stealth makes it difficult to land binds. Your W can help zone her out of the cloud. Very bursty still.”
“Try to bait her donut and hit your E
Normal match up”
“Slippery and manaless. Hard to trade her when she shrouds. Due to her microstun on her ult you can't ult her as well as her having too much sustain to kill.
Call for jungler early and roam faster than she can, staying in lane with her won't net you anything.”
“Akali is pretty hard to play against until you get your Gunblade, after that your oneshot is faster than hers and quite rarely would you find her winning over you.”
“This is an easy matchup. One of the few champions you can kill at level 2.”
“Annoying matchup... mainly farm for the late game.. try not to trade as much if she goes D Shield, Fleet FootWork but if you see an opportunity take it”
“Your Tides of Blood (e) can hit her through shroud. You can also get easy Transfusion's (q's) off, she cant really trade against you”
“Akali's high movility will be a problem since you will have difficulty hitting your charm and Q. Also her W will make her untargetable for your W. Stay prepared until she attacks, you can try to poke her with your Q but don't waste your charm since that will be essencial for you to reduce the damage she can do you.”
“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.”
“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. ”
“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.”
“If you hit her with the q slow she will most likely miss her q - its range is to low. Poke her early.”
“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.”
“just abuse her melee range, her Q cant hit you when you are in your auto range, but respect her lv6 if you're not full hp”
“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.”
“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.”
“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. ”
“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.”
“Akali is a super counter of Yasuo.
Play with Jungler.
Get early MR item.
Fight when her W is down.
Play around cooldowns. ”
“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.”
“Her invisibility makes it harder to land W but becouse she is a melee champ you can poke her with Q. Her Ult is really dangerous becouse she can easily dodge your Q, but when dashing in your E she can lose really big amounts of hp”
“Ich find das Akali kein großes Problem ist, mit der Talon Q zu engagen würde ich jedoch empfehlen, aber Achtung nicht unter dem Tower.
Die Akali E kann dich unter dem Tower baiten und du wirst sonst eine komplette Kombo mit der Akali R kassieren.”
“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.”
“Skill dependent honestly. ”
“A good Akali is a scary one. Kill her before level 6 and get Luden's first item. ”
“Bully her pre6.When you reach lv 6,there 2 options.If you have advantage,you can kill her.If shes with advantage,play defensive.”
“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.”
“Akali has so much in her kit to keep her alive, drop damage and sustain while doing it. Skill match up.”
“Akali is one of the only melee champions who can destroy Nocturne.”
“Very easy lane, you can poke her down and out sustain her just be careful of her all ins and try to pool her 2nd ult charge. You don't really need to be pressured to try and kill her though as you hard out scale her.”
“Akali is more of an annoyance than an actual threat, just don't get caught out by her and play passively.”
“Just about every assassin destroys you, especially ones that have CC. In this case, you're probably going to die before you're able to kill them. Always ult during passive or at the fountain if the enemy laner is an assassin.”
“unless your allies feed her somehow she cant do much to you, barely even warranting an R.
her shroud is the only thing to fear in her kit because of your R and silence.”
“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. ”
“You should poke her as much as you can, but watch out for her HUGE lvl 2 burst. Try to punish her for her poke and stay behind mininons, as she'll try to E you when possible.
Also, when she uses W, you can place E in the middle or in front of you, as she'll try to attack.”
“Try poke down before all in because her shroud will give her easy escape. Try kill pre 6 as she will win at level 6. Try get oracles so you can hit your abilities on her in her shroud. ”
“Just stay away and try to avoid her ult. If you really want to, you can hit her in the shroud.”
“Not a bad matchup. Throw a minefield in her shroud and stay near it. If she tries to poke you, she'll take a lot of damage from the mines. You can also Satchel Charge her out of her shroud.”
“You out damage her and you E counters her W. Kill her before she hits level 6 and get her tilted by destroying her. ”
“Will burst you faster than a Tesla, not sponsored btw. You CAN kill her early, just play aggressive until level 6, and then expect her to use her shuriken ability thing to jump out of your W. Farm, ask for ganks.”
“She's pretty strong post-6. She can kill you fairly easily unless you're ahead by a lot. Poke her down early and try not to give her any kills. Post-6, try not to leave turret or at least stay away from her ult range.”
“Akali has a lot of mobility in her kit. Your ability to win the lane depends on mostly skill of the Akali.
Play on the side of the lane that your jungler is nearest to and look to shove her into your tower if she gets close to kill you.
Notice that she can dash out easily of the tower.”
“Q her when she Q's you. Back off when she uses her w. If you get lvl 6 before her you can all in. If she gets lvl 6 before you, play safe until 6 and then do small trades. ”
“her burst is not strong enough to kill you with your sustain and your loads of cc can keep her down”
“Kind of easy. BUT PLAY SMART. Watch for shroud cooldown. After 6, you can all in her if her shroud is on cooldown.”
“She have a bigger burst than you early and if she ahead the lane is over.
But ekko have a lot of outplay potential after 6
W her shroud will sun her and make her shroud useless.
If she get stun a subtle ghost animation will show just q there.”
“When Akali is lvl 6 so well prob kill zed most games so try predict here movments and try to dodge her Ultimate”
“As with most assassin matchups, don't give her a free lead and you win. ”
“These champs are mainly skill matchups. They include akali, yasuo, pyke, etc.”
“Facile de la counter : cancel de dashs, possible de la sortir de sa smoke avec le R.
Attention cepandant à ne pas se faire bait à dash in dans le vide.”
“Using w during shroud is a good way to keep track of her movements, engaging her post 6 is not advised”
“dumbass champion
rod of ages.
not ludens echo
retard”
“Akali is a threat until you buy Zhonya's hourglass, at which point any duels between the two of you should go in your favor. Consider buying an early Seeker's Armguard in this matchup.”
“You need to dodge her E since she will jump on you. You counter her Shroud since you can poke her in the smoke and reveal her position.”
“Don't use your Ultimate before her W is on Cooldown. Try to Poke her in Lane and don't go in melee range when she can proc her passive. She got a stupid amount of DMG in Lane so try to do something with your higher Range”
“She could be hard to deal with, play safe and you'll win.”
“Skill Matchup. Akali currently wins it because she's broken. Akali W is like Illaoi R, never fight her when she uses it.”
“Due to the nature that Akali is melee and her abilities are fairly short range, Ryze is able to harass her with autos and his W early. She doesnt have high kill pressure in lane so Ryze has an easier time scaling.”
“Just because you can't see her in W, but she is a diving champ so wait for her to get greedy for you, and dive you under turret, then ult, W, and run away.”
“sometimes she can be problematicly, but you should not have any problems to stack up vs her”
“You can't really beat her if she plays it correct you need MR and to land your tornados, avoid getting poked too hard and try to dodge and wind wall as many spells as possible, take dorans sheild”
“Akali can be scary. Her all-in potential is massive at just level 3. Don't stand behind weak minions as she might get a free Q onto you. Dodge shuriken if there's an opening between you. Respect her shroud, but remember you can still hit her with your abilities in it. You can charm her when she runs at you if she hits shuriken, and she can't cancel it. Use your ult to be mobile, as she destroys immobile opponents.”
“YOU DO NOT GET NEAR THIS NIBBA UNLESS YOU TANKY ENOUGH”
“It's a skill matchup, avoid fighting Akali with her shroud off cooldown and always try to bait out her ult with yours, never try fighting without W and you should be ok.”
“Never fight/trade when Akali is invisible. Dodge her shuriken because that's her gap closer. Very crucial to have charm up if you don't have ultimate and vice versa. ”
“try to bait her shroud and poke her as much as possible, you have more sustained dmg than her if she doesnt use her passive so go for long trades and deny her passiv, in mid game she has a better powerspike so try to kill her early and if you dont manage to play safe mid game ”
“Back off after 6, engage when she comes up for cs, back off when she uses shroud, engage when she doesn't have shroud.”
“Never go closer than AA range against Akali. Never fight her when she's invisible, wait it out. You win this pretty easily if you're able to control distance. Poke her down with QW and Q early on with plenty of AA's when she goes to CS. ”
“I've always had a tough time with akali, just be wary, respect her shroud as much as you can or you'll get a big surprise.”
“Always E her before she goes in shrowd,that will give you visibility and you can try to predict her movement with your Q.”
“E>W>Q combo and all in her
Respect her Q
Avoid E
Back off when she is in W
You can dodge both her ults with W and R”
“Aynı Şekilde Akaliyi De Ezersiniz.”
“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.”
“Spams a lot of abilities, unlike you, and will play aggressive. Also will have some sustain on lanes, so trading isn't an option really. Try to let her push and always go full aggressive when she engages near tower.”
“Akali is a pretty big thrat to Irelia since she can get invisible with her shroud (W) so Irelia cannot hit any of her abilities which will soon make Akali win.”
“Akali is extremely dangerous that deals alot of damage but also makes herself invisible with her shroud (W) which will make her dodge every attack of yours.”
“A good akali can poke you a lot if you are in a bad position
She will kill you when she gets her gunblade.
Until then try to kill her before she gets it and try to deny her c.s as much as you can.
”
“Akali is a very high threat to yasuo since she has her Shroud (W) that makes her invisible and because of that you will not be able to either poke her, hit any ability nad it's gonna be a lot harder to kill her.”
“Use your aftershock properly and she cant even touch you , she will probably try to roam so ping to your fellas and try to follow her on the roam , you high cc will eventually grant her useless after a point .
”
“can be hard if good player, have to kill her out of shroud unless she goes into shroud very low and dies to your E or Ult”
“Easy matchup but don't let your guard down.”
“If you against a good Akali theres no way that you can kill her, just try to farm safe with your d Shield, whenever her w is down try to harass
her before she hits 6, once she has ult she can kill you whenever she wants if you make a mistake.”
“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).”
“Can't dodge your spells but she have huge dmg when played properly.
Bully for taking cs.”
“If you can kill this chick early game... GJ! However when she reaches level six.. YOUR LIFE is at risk. If she gets and E on you, she will jump in auto Q W R Gunblade then R again to finish you off. My suggestion is to kill her early but respect her damage and buy Zhonyas or MR.”
“Poke early but play safe post-Level 4
[DETAILED MATCHUP INFORMATION BELOW]”
“You can out damage her in almost all aspects. Dodge her e, and go in after she's used her e. Don't be afraid to all in her.”
“Her gap closer is the only thing you need to worry about other than that play aggro until 6.”
“Assassins are scary. Akali is one of them”
“A good Akali can be hard to go against. Farm till 6. If they manage to E you, dont fight. Try to chain her before she gets into her smoke screen as you can follow up with another chain. Ganks aren't effective on her. She has to get up close to damage you which is a good time to use your Q+R+W combo.”
“Melee assassin, you dominate before lvl 6. Care of her roaming style: she snowballs easily. Your W is almost as big as her W: she cannot hide.”
“Again, a match up where you dont want to get behind. Farm, take trades when possible, punish her if she over steps. Once she burns all of her kit, and you can still fight, you can easily turn. Especially with ult”
“Easy Matchup. If she W just W and if she use Her Q on your decoy wait a bit and then trade her with A>Q>E>AA.”
“Don't really see her a lot since the nerfs. Match up prior was still decently Zoe favored in my opinion. she gets shoved in pretty easily. Once under tower you can you chip her down with q's and empowered autos. Just make sure not to over-commit and play into her shroud's reach.”
“Shes moderately alright until reaching level six all in her until she gets ult and bait it out.”
“Pretty even, your r (Death Lotus) can go through her invis with w (Twilight Shroud)”
“She's garbo now. If she doesn't hit E or ult into you she can't do anything to you. Harass her with autos and if she looks for an angle Zap. If she goes into Shroud though, back up. Akali can still do truckloads of damage and you don't have the HP to tank it.”
“Not a hard match up. Poke her and e her when she goes in with her r.”
“Don't walk up too close, she will Q Auto you if you do so.
Try to fight her when her shroud is down.”
“a pretty easy mach up when she w back away wait for it to disappear then ingage ”
“she can stay away to you with w. wait for her w, after use your ulti.”
“Stay out of her smoke unless you're on high hp, save your ult for damage. If you're confident enough in your reaction times wander near her smoke then e away as she q's. she can still murk you if you play wrong”
“You need to disturb her in the first levels”
“Even that she has her sleath "E" ability, your ult still does damage to her so.... USE YOUR ULT :P
you can wait for her to use her stunt Ult thing if your not 100% confident on your damage....”
“Akali has very much damage but a short range, it´s easy to win at early.”
“Bait out her shroud and you got a easy kill. Just watch out for her burst damage.”
“Laning against Akali can be pretty interesting. May the better player win!”
“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”
“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.”
“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”
“Stoopid smoke, Oh wait you got nerfed”
“More information in future”
“Akali has lots of mobility and has an invisibility ability. This is probably one of the hardest matchups.”
“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.”
“ 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)”
“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.”
“Assassin claps Karthus unless you're amazing and he's awful. ”
“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.”
“She is stronger than you in early.
Play carefully but u can destroy when she makes mistakes.
You are stronger in lategame”
“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.”
“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.”
“With her update, she'll still tricky to play against, play safe, bubble when you can and paddlestar to farm”
“What can i say its Akali, you can win vs her if you steal her ultimate”
“Annoying shroud blocks E and W, free heals, and crazy early scaling makes it hard to play into her.”
“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.”
“For explanation check chapter 'Performance Against Champions'.”
“Mesma lógica do zed.”
“I can tell nothing just play until you have experience (I'm sorry)”
“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. ”
“Always ban her. She is not balanced right now. If she hits her E you are dead. Play defensive, poke with your Q,E combo and ask for gangs. ”
“Insuportável. Assim como a LB, se o player não é uma batata ele vai te massacrar. A cura do Q dela te faz perder quase todas as trocas, e a mobilidade dela consegue perseguir você mesmo após a Ult.”
“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.”
“I ban akali every game cause it can one-shot you as soon as she get lvl 6.”
“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. ”
“This champ kit is way too strong, she has high burst and with her shroud, you cannot use your ult on her.
”
“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”
“You know, i didnt think Akali would be that bad when she came out, but i was wrong. Her invis just cucks your q.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“She will burst you if you don't play careful. Her shroud is very strong against you. Don't miss your charm or your screwed.”
“Akali is a fair lane that is very depending on skill. Try to ult akali when she is in her W which shows where she is located in the shroud.”
“You have range advantage use it. be careful when she is is W so you dont waste your Q's”
“Going negatron is very good if the enemy akali has any clue how to play the champ.”
“if she uses shroud near you, just annoy her with W and R with tiamat, she is not much of a problem because your Q counters her passive.”
“Her taking of bone plating as well as high mobility makes her a formidable opponent.”
“i personally like this matchup but after 6 it gets pretty tricky a bit like Kassadin matchup”
“Her stealth is dangerous for your KDA, if you stun her she is dead but still, play safe against her as she can surprise you with some smart moves”
“Although permabanned right now, its easy as long as you engage when she has no energy nor shroud.”
“Usually banned, but if played against you mid, you'd like to force out her shroud. If she dives you can use e to stun.”
“Akali is meh, just don't get hit with her E and Q and you'll be gucci.”
“As for all squishies, she is a high risk low return champ and should always made sure to be banned.”
“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.”
“Her shroud makes it hard for you to actually kill her, I suggest taking Electrocute against her so you exactly see where she is, even in shroud. Ask your jungler for help.”
“Ok, this may just be me, but i havent figured out how to beat an Akali midlane yet.”
“Smoke will make it kind of hard to fight her, just try to wind wall her skill shots and she cant do much. Her dodging can make it difficult to hit a knock up though.”
“you have the upperhand early game so try to kill her before lvl 6 and try to deny her substain when she walk up to her minions waves ”
“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.”
“When she shrouds you can charge a taunt up and hit her hard when she comes out.”
“when it comes into its own It's hard for me to hit (like any champ ;p)”
“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.”
“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.”
“skill match up, be careful when she is in shroud and retreat from second ult with w”
“Pretty much a skill Match Up i would say.”
“Do not let her to take advantage of you in early. Just play safe, and watch her on map. Follow her if she roams.”
“fight when shroud on cd or put you ult on shroud”
“Her W, makes it really hard for you to hit skillshots, play safe.”
“Dodge her E and you're fine. You can hit her with a sleep or your paddle star through her smoke.”
“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. ”
“Pretty easy matchup just keep pushing the wave and go for the archangel build to keep her in lane.”
“If she buy Doran's shield, don't waste mana. Just farm, play a safe and when the opportunity comes, throw up your combo on her, especially if the Allied jungle is close.
”
“She can tower dive, she has huge melee dmg threat. don't let her land her E on you, if she does throw a sleep bubble and walk the sleep bubble.”
“Beware of her smoke and her ult.”
“says on the first side of the guide”
“Akali is not a big threat but her Q and R damage is annoying, but you can survive.”
“Easily match..just start with doran and poke her hard.You re ranged and you have more chances to win then she.You can also ult in her w if she s low”
“OPOP W. Just quit the game shes op.”
“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.”
“Veigar does increasingly bad against any sort of assassins. Try and use your E to force them back on any dive, use your Q and W to farm and poke.”
“Akali is extremely strong against Lux. Lux does not like getting into close combat and Akali can easily dodge Lux's abilities due to her many dashes and [[Twilight Shroud]]. Play extremely safe and call for ganks.”
“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”

Tips Against Akali in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
“I don't find Akali much of a problem but she can snowball out of control if she gets fed or gets a lot of jungle help. You should win most trades with her early and if she ever uses her shroud poorly you want to go all in and punish her for it, also when she is in her shroud you want to keep your W on since they usually pop out to trade with you and then go back invisible, having your W on means you can still trade back because it will lock onto her instantly. once you get a completed item + merc treads she just doesn't have the burst to kill you usually if it's even score, if you're slightly behind and the Akali is running ignite you can go for a hexdrinker in this matchup, also you want to try to use your ultimate after you land an E in this matchup since akali is very slippery, unless she ults away and is low then you can try to use your ultimate to snipe her. You should also outscale her pretty hard in teamfights unless she is very fed.”
“Same as yasuo, this is still an easy matchup.”
“Never trade with Akali, while her shroud is up! Your poison will reveal her location so keep an eye on where her shadow appears next so you can avoid her gap close to trade with her. Unlike when she was first released, she is no longer unstoppable. You will have enough time to throw out a (Q) or (E) before she hides again on her shroud. You can use minions to body block her (E) shuriken she can also use it to dash over walls and gain distance from you. Do not let her land this or you LOSE the trade immediately. You must try your best to side step or bait her (E) before attempting while her shroud is down! Spectre's Cowl into Spirit's especially if they have more than one AP champion on their team. It will prevent her from killing you early and mid.

“Her Q out ranges yours so don't look for trade on the first one. After she uses one she doesn't have enough energy for a Second so then look to apply the Lane Harass Combo. Do no trade whilst shes shrouded either because its like fighting a ghost. W her E with good reaction times. Teamfights W her R.”
“Akali can be a pain to play against, but she can't cast her E or R whilst standing on your W. She can be solo killed if you can tank her damage but is easy enough to play against as you outdamage her early with your E. Most Akali's outplay themselves but if given the chance to combo you, it's hard not to die.”
“TL;DR - SKILL MATCHUP IN HER FAVOR. DON’T TAKE BAD TRADES. DON’T MISS YOUR OWN QS. DON’T EAT FREE EMPOWERED AUTOS. TRY TO CANCEL HER DASHES WITH YOUR E. DON’T FIGHT IN SMOKE UNLESS YOU KNOW YOU WILL KILL HER. CONQUEROR OR AFTERSHOCK ARE BOTH GOOD INTO HER. START DSHIELD. SWEEPER IF SHE IS OUTPLAYING YOU IN HER SMOKE TOO OFTEN.
Akali is a problematic matchup for quite a few Darius players but if you understand the champion, it becomes easier. The key to winning an Akali matchup is not taking bad trades and not eating her empowered autoattacks for free. Don’t take trades level 1 that go beyond just a simple Q, as she can chunk you out to the point where you can’t even fight back anymore. Level 2 is where the tides turn, as you get access to one of your CC abilities that let you hold her in place. Akali only beats you in an all in if she is able to kite you so stick to her and kill her. Don’t miss your own Qs. If you have an idea of the Akali Q range, you can time it as she goes in so that you both get hit. And since your Q is stronger, you will win the trade. Unless you are aiming to all in and kill her, and KNOW that you can do so, don’t fight in or around her smoke. Make sure she has to walk out quite a bit if she wants to damage you further. This way you can trade back. Another plus of playing Darius is that your bleed ticks, show you where the Akali is when she is invisible. If you are on low ping and are good at predicting, you can effectively cancel all of Akali’s dashes with your E. You can even cancel her ultimate’s damage if you pull her before she reaches you. The easiest dash to cancel will be her shuriken jump. Doing that will immediately destroy her. Her level 6 powerspike is STAGGERING. She can straight up kill you from full HP with her ultimate. Try not to fuck around with her too much when you're low hp at this point. DO NOT lose lane to her, as a fed Akali is going to be a nightmare to face. She will be able to kill you with ease, even if you are under turret. If you do lose lane, try to pick up CS under turret without being poked down too much from her. Conqueror is my go to but Aftershock is an excellent choice for a more secure lane, as it neutralizes her burst. Do not underestimate her when you have a few kills on her, as her damage is crazy high either way. If you are getting unbelievably stomped, then you should invest in some early MR options like Cowl. ”
“The reworked Akali can prove to be quite annoying but she got pretty gutted so she isn't that often seen anymore. Fight her when her shroud is down but care about her burst. Also try to not eat her Q for free since she will chunk you down fast with those + her empowered auto afterwards.
She can also be tricky to kill due to her multiple dashes. Most of the time I just buy a Tiamat in this matchup, try to shove in and potentially roam or just keep her under tower since the kill pressure on her isn't that high unless she takes dumb fights with you.”
“Lane can be cruel as AD Neeko. Hard to trade vs Akali in lane. Building defensive will not help vs Akali. Lane is winnable if you can spam your w passive on her.”
“GP wins early, but once Akali gets some item components and her ult she becomes a greater threat.”
“Dorans shield mitigates a lot of her poke build a Spectre's Cowl or Executioner's calling and sit on a ruby crystal.”
“ Turn on Attack Champions Only when engaging so you don't waste you W on a minion when she shrouds. She has better burst than you so you lose your usual advantage when both targets are low HP. Early on, don't fear her poke way too much as it melts her energy. At level three, engage her when her energy is low and ”
“Try to force a kill lvl 1.
Survive and last hit under turret. She is weaker in teamfights, so focus on farming and roaming.”
“Your E can outrange her Q, but if you stop to use it while she's moving up, she can hit you with her Q. Her abilities besides her Q have a high cooldown, so whenever she uses them you need to punish her immediately after. I recommend taking Press the Attack in this matchup as it'll allow you to easily deal damage to her while her shroud is up. You should go some form of defense against her, whether that be Hexdrinker or Wit's End.”

“After rework it's tough opponent. Try to fight her when she got W on cd. It may sounds stupid but try to fight her in her minions, when she is hiding at her shroud you will lose your attack speed from passive and conqueror. If you will keep those 2 things up you will beat her going all in when her W expires.”
“She is difficult if fed, but otherwise you should be good. You can hit her even if she is shrouded with your rupture and scream so there is no escape for her.”
“Easy matchup. No point in the early or mid game where she can outrade you. If she makes a mistake, you can all in her at all points. ”
“Akali is a very annoying matchup. Before 6, she can play fairly safe, trade you with her Q into W and AA and then go back invisible and after level 6, she becomes close to impossible to kill unless you're ahead in the lane. Either try kill her before 6 or farm safe under tower and ask your jungler for a gank. Try getting some defense items first before building PD (tabis, hexdrinker, mercs, etc.)”
“Akali is quite annoying to deal with. She can sustain easily after getting a vamp scepter and out trades you easily. She can easily 1v1 you post level six.”
“She is slippery but squishy, engage when her shroud is down and she can't escape pre-6. ”
“Bate out her Q, when shes low on energy all in, if she doesn't get any early Kills you can just control the lane, either dive her or force her to over extend for cs and punish :) after about level 8 or 9 she may get a small power spike on you if your not snowballin.”
“Shroud is a problem, but won't end up being a huge threat. You win early trades so definitely try to force fights. Dorans Blade to BORK ”
“Do not fight her when she is in her shroud. Try to bait out the shroud and fight her when it is down. Riposte the empower aa after her Q as it does the most damage and is one of the only abilities that is predictable.”
“Akali is a very nimble fighter and has multiple ways of disengaging from you while being able to end you abruptly if given the chance. Bait out her Qs by walking back and forth to make her waste her energy, if you get hit by it do not let her use the empowered auto attack that follows it. Avoid standing inside her shroud until you have a low enough cooldown on your Q as you cannot auto attack her while invisible. Try to pull her out of her shroud if possible.
DShield, potential Merc Treads, Spectre's Cowl or Hexdrinker if struggling, Phage if not.”
“Really hard to fight due to her sustain and shroud. When she cloaks herself try to Q on the shroud to hit her and fall back since that's when she can spam abilities due to her energy regen.
Fight her when her shroud is down but be careful of her re-engage.”
“She is very annoying to lane against as she can go in and out of Darius's abilities. Rush mercs in this lane and try not to get hit by her empowered autos after she Q's. Only go in against her after she has used her shroud, and start trades with your Q.”
“Run away when she goes stealth, use W if she uses her shuriken or ult, try to position to pin her under your tower if she all ins you. Not much sustain, you should win.”
“Pretty hard to win but its possible. Try to farm as much as you can. Dont trade her that much early. DONT ENGAGE WITH E. Go for sustain like Fleet footwork + Timewarptonic.. Rush tiamat and corrupting potion as usual. Buy oracles.. If you are level 6 before her. Just all in. She only has 1 dash yet. If you both are level 6. Try to poke her down and try to bait her ultimate out.. If she gets kills or gets pretty ahead. Just try to not give her more kills and roam to make some kills or plays around the map..”
“Bait out her Q, be aware of her E, if you hit her with W in her shroud you can auto her and murder her. Rush Hexdrinker or be prepared to get 1shot at level 6.
Electrocute possible rune choice.
You can shut her down in teamfights hard but be wary of her sidelane pressure.”
“Try to punish her when she's low on Energy.”
“Akali is a very annoying matchup to fight. The changes have added counterplay but if you don't pay attention, she can chunk you out very easily. Don't let her hit her empowere autos. It is too much damage. Later on, you need to start punishing her. Try to save your Es, as you will need them to stop her from getting away as she is VERY slippery. In an all in, you do win as long as you hit your Qs and keep close to her with your passive. Overall, Rylai's makes this matchup much easier so wait for that. It might be a bug but he shroud doesn't go away in Mordekaiser ultimate. The stats are still useful though.”
“This is a somewhat difficult lane for us. Akali trades very hard early and it's difficult to answer trades back with her shroud up. Try to bait out shroud and then punish her. If we can not give up too much early we end up outscaling and winning lane after 6. Always try to bait out shroud before ulting in this match up or she can stall our R duration out in camouflage.”
“This match up is Darius favored. Be careful of her double Q at level 1 it does deceptively high damage. Trade heavily if she tries to harass you in your wave. Shroud is annoying.”
“Aftershock is probably mandatory into this matchup. Be sure to not let her empowered AA after her Q hit you. Engage with Q into W and when she dashes out and back in to get extra Damage, E her for your Aftershock proc and then wittle her down. It's quite tricky but you can time your Q heal with all her dashes - it takes a bit of practice. She is quite slippery so if you do decide to fight her make sure she can't get Damage off for free and be certain the trade is going to pay off for you.”
“Do your best to kill her lvl 1, if not possible then make her use her potions as early as possible. Once she hits lvl 6, you should be dead. Ask for jungler's help and farm as much as possible.”
“Akali has huge amount of harass. If you take full combo from Akali then you will not be able to trade. You will have to dodge her harass to be able to trade back.
If you dodge her Five-Point Strike(Q), you should be able to trade. Another Good news is that your Primal Howl will be able to go through her Twilight Shroud(W). Your Jaws of the Beast chase out her Dash AKA Shuriken Flip(E) and her Ultimate AKA Perfect Execution(R). Nonetheless difficult match-up.

“Her insane mobility, invisibility and the capacity to 100-0 your Backline and adc.
The worst part its that her mobility makes landing Q and even your W complicated, and her invisibility shroud doesnt let tou cast your R, very annoying, depends of the player since for me its a skill matchup.”
“Akali is dangerous after getting her ultimate. Especially after she gets Hextech Gunblade. Fortunately she doesn't have big range, so try to keep safe distance and farm what you can. Buying Wit's End after the Gunblade can be a good option against her.”
“FLEET FOOTWORK SETUP / SPELLBOOK SETUP - CLOTH ARMOR + 4 POTS / 3 REJUVENATION BEADS + POT =
Akali is somewhat similar to Ahri but with a lot more of mobility and a usefull (to her) Shroud that allows her to play super aggressive without being really able to punish her even later on to the game as Nasus. In this matchup depends a lot in her runes. If she goes Conqueror, just look to farm and if you play it properly at lvl 6 with Sheen you should be able to solo kill her. If she goes for Fleet Footwork, just farm and then in the midgame or lategame you should be able to beat her 100-0 if played properly. If she goes for Electrocute you have to be really careful since she can deal a lot of damage even later on, just farm and look for doing teamfights where you are peeling your carry (if it is either your Midlaner, ADC or even your jungler), usually Akali looks to kill the squishy targets, not the tanky ones like Nasus. Akali will struggle a lot in teamfights since if she leaves for 1 seconds her Shroud in front of your team, she is dead but still she can deal a lot of damage and is usually a skill matchup later on in a 5v5 (in the Splitpush, she clears wave so fast and disengages so well it's not really worth trying).”
“Go Grasp and start Doran's Shield. Avoid getting poked by her Q and parry her empowered auto from her passive. Don't fight her when she uses shroud. You have kill pressure if her shroud and E are on cd. ”
“Akali has huge amount of harass. If you take full combo from Akali then you will not be able to trade. You will have to dodge her harass to be able to trade back.
If you dodge her Five-Point Strike(Q), you should be able to trade. Another Good news is that your Ground Slam will be able to go through her Twilight Shroud(W). Your Seimsic Shard chase out her Dash AKA Shuriken Flip(E) and her Ultimate AKA Perfect Execution(R). Nonetheless difficult match-up.

(Outscaling Edge: Even)”
“This matchup used to be easy before she recieved a ton of buffs. Now, the lane is thin ice in the early stages of the game. You need to avoid getting hit by her Q poke and concede some cs if you need to. At level 6, she can all in you and win so be careful. If you're even or just a bit behind, you can back and beat her after that. I suggest an early Null-Magic Mantle. In terms of combat, you should try to guarantee an E or Q when she uses her second E as it's her most linear ability. You ult should be used if her shroud is down and she has less than half energy. Tread carefully early and outscale her in the 1v1. Whoever gets the first kill normally snowballs and wins lane.”
“i didnt face her yeet but i can imagine her being a pain to deal as.
i think Dorans shield its better than corrupt pot since it lets you survive the extremme harras of akali.
once you had a adaptative helm or some MR you can actually fight her because her Q spam reduces your passive cooldown.”
“Akali is one of the hardest lanes for Tryndamere since she can kite you with her high mobility and W.In this lane I would recommend to try and survive lane because you outscale her if the game goes super late.I would take flash tp in this matchup with fleet runes.”
“Annoying, but usually she can't really do much to you (except for early game 1-5 lvl).
Tip: Buy red trinket, play around your turret early.”
“As threatening as Akali is late game, you will be facing her at her weakest. An overall squishy champion that relies on executes for victory, the health you build greatly reduces her threat potential and renders her vulnerable to your minions. When she activates her Twilight Shroud (W), fire a Prowling Projectile through one of the lengths of the shroud. In doing so, you will have fairly ample knowledge for her location based on whether or not your ability hit it's mark.”
“Very hard matchup, but winnable. If the Akali isn't master tier smurfing, you can win her by early trading, which bully her out early. DO NOT FARM IT OUT OR YOU LOSE.”
“She can jump over your w which makes you lose a lot of damage output, You have low mobility so hard to chase her, just get bork fast to slow her down”
“Akali is a hard matchup for you.She wins this matchup for the most part.You start outscaling her at 3 items but you need to get to that point in the game.Try to stall the match as much as you can.You can only trade against her if you bait her w.”
“Much trickier after her rework, as she has more mobility in her early stages. She will deal decent damage to you, and her shroud will shut you down pretty hard. Try to poke her, and wait until she has used her shroud to comit to a fight.”
“Stay safe never go below 50% hp or she will murder you! first dash can be blocked with w so you will mostly always escape”
“Try and ensure that you’re always behind at least 1 minion at all times. If there is always a minion between the two of you, it will be impossible for her to land her E on you and engage.
Akali is very prone to poke. Try to poke her down as much as you can to make it much harder for her to look to trade with you.
Play around Akali’s Shroud W. Once it’s down, you should look to trade with her. If she activates it mid-fight, back off until it’s down. The invisibility it provides can make it hard for you to kill her, so playing around it will ensure you come out ahead.
”
“No matter how much damage you take out of her kit, she will forever remain broken.
[1]You can hit Vitals on her even when she's in her Shroud as long as you know where to aim.
[2]You Can Parry Her R2 and her Empowered AA.
[3]Try Parrying her E2 AA Q Combo, you'll easily win that trade.
[4]Keep track of her energy bar, if she wastes too much energy then it's your opportunity to take a good trade.
[5]There's not a lot of room to punish her so you might want to be patient and focus on scaling.”
“High damage early so try to avoid trades. Your passive will reveal her in shroud so anticipate movement and counter her with Q's.”
“Lane survival runes, hard, full of poke, boring lane to be in, at least she can't true stealth poke us under our own turret anymore, that's cool right? She keeps getting nerfed which is really nice, ur only chance to trade is level 1, when get she shroud just chill unless she wastes it, dont even try to ever get cocky and do stuff like diving even if you are really ahead, so risky cause of all the stuff in her kit, spam Q and farm, tiamat rush, later on split away from her.”
“Grasp
Farm Farm Farm
Dont ever fight”
“Really hard for me. Here I say screw it and I go ghost+ignite.”
“Akali is extremely slippery. Her passive can be a lot of damage early game, but I'll let you in on a little secret. Akali players like to use their q when you go for minions. So act like you are going for minions and walk back to bait out her q. Her W can be a bit annoying because she can just negate your stacks, but your bleed reveals her. Wait to pull when you can all-in or when she dashed on you with her E.”
“Like most other big threats, her mobility gives Gnar trouble. I've found that the best way to handle her is play safe, keeping your distance, and stay ready to run back to your turret. You might be able to bait Akali into pushing too hard and too early, so be ready to capitalize when she puts herself in a gankable position or transform and throw her into your turret with your ult. Keeping these frail but mobile champs stunned in your turret's range can often be a death sentence for them.”
“Hold her in check in lane, when she e's to you, root her and if you need to walk away. ”
“Akali has a lot of sustain, but u have the range advantage until lvl6. So u can just prevent her from farming and scaling.”
“Utilize your passive shield to block some of her Q poke and only go in for trades once she's used up most of her energy for poke/push. Her shroud has a 2-second longer cooldown than your level 1 E, so use that 2 second window if she walks close when your taunt gets up after her W if it's up. Try to look for extended trades pre-6, because after 6 she will just hunt you down unless you’re MUCH healthier than her at the start of the trade.
”
“If shes gets kills on you she will be a threat but if you bully her early she will have a tough time catching up”
“Akali is not in the best state right now but she is still a threat to Urgot.
Just try to scale and play safe.
hitting your E in this matchup is very hard since she can just E away and then go back onto you with her E.
Be very careful of her level 6 since she can kill you at that point.
just try to get items and scale up since you will be worth more in teamfights and splitpushing than her if you are not too far behind.”
“Rush hexdrinker and your fine. Any runes page works. Try going for short trades.”
“Akali is very mobile but is very squishy. If she tries to E into you save up your Q to knock her up while she dashes to interrupt it. You also don't have any targeted abilities so take an oracle lens so you Q her while she is invisible and use control wards to scout for their
jungler instead.”
“Crazy poking skills, If you go keep touching her she will chase to your death even when you are under the tower, Defend as much as possible”
“She out trades you in almost all levels, her q procs her passive and if she has electrocute, it'll chunk your HP quite abit. Do your best to dodge her e. When she's in her cloud, wait for her to appear before q'ing. If you can get an early gank and a kill, things will start to go in your favor”
“Es un even pero le pongo major para los nuevos(jax pool) ella tiene mas maneras de superarte pero tu tranquilo miéstras no tenga una kill es demasiado débil y no sería amenaza
Cuidado con su W y Q y R”
“Refer to Match Up Section”
“moves a lot, don't get close, her W makes her untargettable ”
“Right now she is a pretty rare pick for toplane and this is very good for you, because despite of multiple nerfs and changes she is still overpowered.”
“With her high mobility it makes difficult to land your abilities on her, but you out-scale her, so make sure you stay safe for the first 5 to 6 levels.”
“Akali is a bit hard match up because of her W invis and E dash yes you out range her but when she lands her E on you dont panic try to time your Q so u hit her when she wants to dash back and than W and try to aim the way that she will get in in the center”
“It's pretty unwinnable matchup. She can poke u all the time and you can't do anything about it. She will hide in her W after you will try to go all-in. Wait for your jungler and try to get ahead with him. I prefer rushing Wit's end as a first item, and taking defensive runes.”
“if he have some skill he will likely dodge everything especily in early very dangerous”
“Permaban I dont like her”
“She b fast and go poof + she can go bug hurt when u low”
“Her Qs are very close ranged, so make sure you stay behind the melee minions. Make sure she uses Q before you try to go in to Q+E her. Try to run a blue cloak item if she succeeds in building a Gunblade and if two or more of her teammates are AP damage Champions.
If you are a good Garen player, you can jebait a Flash from Akali after Chaining Q into E and spin around her Shadow Swamp Smoke Bomb thingy.
Don't even have to Ignite. When she is visible and you Q again, she will Flash without hesitation.
EZ”

“Akali, you can just out-trade her every time, keep her either at low health or at her base. If you don't do this then it'll be a pain after her 6, her damage is very high.”
“Akali, you can just out-trade her every time, keep her either at low health or at her base. If you don't do this then be careful after her 6, the damage can be unexpected. ”
“Akali is a pain for many top lane champs, but generally doesn't scare Swain very much. Most of your damage comes from AOE abilities. You will quickly become too tanky for her to burst.”
“You are squishy and Akali has very quick burst, but if you quickly use your W to quickly retreat under your tower you can hopefully be safe, but she can tower dive and escape quickly with her R so don't let your guard down.”
“Before she hits level 6, you can look to poke her down. After she hits level 6, you can't walk up to far as she will engage and kill you. Stay near your tower and poke her down before she engages so that you can kill her with your burst.”
“Her shroud doesn't save her from Yones aoe damage and ult. She is a gnat to him.”
“Is impossible for Morde to keep up with her mobility and stealth farm safely ”
“Trade Q's with her. Try to bait her's out by walking up and walking back if you want. When her smoke is up if she shows, she's visible enough to land an auto attack. So toggle target champions only and hit her when she's visible. If you have ghost and she's in the smoke - ALL IN. Post 6 if she uses R defensively (to escape) walk away. If she uses R to kill you, just keep fighting her.
TL;DR read it. There's no summarizing an Akali matchup
Kryptonite: Maw of Malmortius, Mortal Reminder and Adaptive Helm (MAYBE a thornmail since she auto's you after a Q)”
“D-Blade. Look at what keystone she is running. If she is running Elect she is looking to all in. If she is running fleet she is looking to sustain (duh.) 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.”
“Major: This lane can go either way depending on who has a lead. More information found below.”
“Build full tank or you get decimated. Dont charge q if you don't have minions in front to protect you from her e. If she doesn't have r you can take long trades. Use your r to cancel her second part r.”
“You have to play smart. She can just spam Q ,deal damage and get out so use your shield well and maybe you can get the chance to 1v1 him before 6”
“Slippery but will be really easy to hit your E because of her E.”
“Fleet Footwork Runes and Build. Ignite + Flash. Dorans shield start. Early game against Akali you want to mostly look to farm, if you have an opportunity to trade with high fury/hp level one, that is probably your only chance for a solo kill in this matchup. Akali has very strong short trades and it is very hard to all in against an Akali because of her shroud and her shuriken flip. This matchup is a farm matchup, can look for small trades with akali once you get tiamat and potentially out sustain her for an allin. Akali can make it hard to full on all in, the matchup is all about taking effective short trades and outsustaining her. In side lanes when you are splitting be careful of akali in the mid-game look to split/fight away from her. Most of the time you will look to shove in waves and then get neutral camps or rotate and flank the enemy team while akali has to deal with your wave that you just shoved.”
“Je met ce match up a 3, mais c'est valable une fois que tu connais bien Darius et que tu es à l'aise, en réalité c'est loin d'être un match up évident, elle possède du Poke, un disengage et une invisibilité qui te donneront quelques mal de tête, mais il y a des manière de contrer ça.
Premièrement, prend note de la portée de son A, et mets toi à la limite, quand elle essaiera de lancer son sort, elle s'arrêtera un instant le temps de l'animation, à ce moment tu fais un pas en avant et fait ton E, suivi de ça, tu fais tout de suite ton Z pour la ralentir,elle va E loin mais elle sera ralentie, tu en profites pour A, elle va passer en invisibilité, continue de lui mettre la pression et tu devrais gagner surtout si tu as le fantôme.
Astuce : Attention, ne jamais sous estimer les dégâts d'une akali, couplet à une grande mobilité, il faut être prudent et capitalisé sur ses erreurs, avoir rapidement mercure et phage te facilitera la tâche.”

“You're not going to see Akali top but when she does get picked you should be very careful and respecting her dash”
“Any rune is fine.
Poke early, dont group with minions (dont let your q you and the minions), buy a ruby crystal and nullmagic mantle and then go the standard build (you need early defensiveness for akali lvl 6 engage). Be aware of her gunblade all in. Only fight her when you have ignite. Its a skill matchup so you need to know your boundaries and commit to the fight if akali goes on you”
“Has high dmg early on with her q and her passive. Look to poke her with q and setup a freeze if possible. If you see him waste his shroud "w" look for trades when ur full combo is up. Go D shield in this lane so you don't get poked out early.”
“I never seen top lane akali as a threat. I always won without issues. You will outscale her damages. But still, don't underestimate her because you never know how things can turn around.
Akali can also escape you if she plays smart.”

“She was really under performing, so she was easy to deal with. The recent buff to her Q shouldn't really change much. ”
“she is a easy match up cause like the other animals she cant leave your cage without getting stunned keep your distance and poke then ult her ”
“Never see this champ top but if you do gl. a good akali can never die”
“Bien que vous soyez capable de l'empêcher d'agir et de continuer à DPS même dans sa smoke, Akali a toutes les armes pour vous one shot dès le niveau 6. Ne la sous-estimez pas et essayez d'abuser de son early faible pour prendre l'avantage.”
“Quite easy match up, play agressive starting from lvl 3-4, try to wreck her early, as she will outscale your burst later, you can go with ignite for early lane dominance.”
“pretty easy matchup honestly, some Renekton mains think she's op or something but she's really isn't, all you gotta do is play safe level 1 and try to kill at level 2 or go for a big trade, level 3 is fine to trade aswell but only short trades and dodge her E. you can Q her even when she's in shroud and E aswell. go Conqueror”
“SHROUD.. really rito fix this ability. Poke her and wait for her to use shroud then all in”
“Huge damage, be careful of the lvl 6 spike, and the lvl 2 spike. Back off at lvl 3 to avoid her q auto q electrocute which can do a decent amount of damage. ”
“This matchup is actually a lot easier top lane than it is midlane just because Akali wants to only fight you when her shroud is up. Since the lane is a lot longer, she can’t really hide under tower during her shrouds downtime which is the only time you can try to fight her at all. You can try to poke her with Q level 1 but you should never take a prolonged fight. Akalis level 1 is probably one of the best in the game and she will most likely be too mobile to fight and she can spam Q up to 3 times which can easily all in you if she has ignite. Level 2 you do have a chance to fight her but first you have to bait out her shroud without taking too much damage while she's in it. As soon as it runs out you have about 15 seconds to take a fight with her while your conqueror is up, this gets even easier at level 3 when you can windwall one of her q’s or e’s while she trys to get away from you. I know a lot of people hate Akali and think she’s the most broken champion in the game but if you play the matchup smart and just never fight when her shroud is up you have a huge advantage over her and actually isn’t too hard of a matchup 1v1. At level 6 it’s a very good idea to ult her when her shroud is on cd and force her to ult, her ult is way more important than yours in all ins. Hex or Wits is a must in this matchup.”
“It's not so hard to win before level 6, just wait for the W to fade away and you'll get the favourable trade. If she reaches level 6 ahead... you better stay under tower, not even your passive can save you.”
“A matchup which used to be borderline impossible, but is now fairly easy as she has been nerfed so many times. Just make sure the wave is pushing towards you and you'll be safe to farm up to 2-3 items where you start to win 1v1.
A small trick is to let her Q you inside your minion wave to force her to push towards you.
If you're in a long lane before your 3 core items SHE WILL KILL YOU WITH YOUR ULT UP.”
“Her ability to outplay and run around you is quite annoying, and without vision your execute is useless unless you have the skill to do so by stun setup exposing her in shroud. You can bring it back but if she gets ahead, its gonna be a lot of punish rather than engage.”
“She'll get away from you too often to chase for kills. Just farm and you win. She can't damage you enough if you get SV.”
“because of very weak early game of akali you can trade with him in early game but remember to use W and get out of her shroud after that you will hardly win if you bait his shroud with your clone (W)
but remember her Ultimate is extremely powerful try to get a hexdrinker it will help u a lot ”
“Hard matchup.
She counter your W by her W, be cautious and buy doran shield because her poke is painfull. Havn't played much against her so i think she is rare matchup”
“Gangplank doesn't do well against all in champions. Period. Your best bet is to poke her with Q a dodge her E. When she all ins you, try to hit her with your passive enhanced auto, (if up) and use the speed boost and RUN. (Flash and Teleport).”
“Grasp can apply against akali for back and forth trades because she has high cd and low base energy in early game ”
“Akali is SO annoying to go against. She has a dash, an engage tool, tons of damage, and she can even disappear into her mist. If you get matched up against her, buy a Doran's shield or cull, and try to farm safely. Take Hop at level 2. ”
“Survive the laning phase at all costs! Don’t get bullied out of the lane! Freeze creeps on your side of the lane and farm until mid game.”
“Survive the laning phase at all costs! Don’t get bullied out of the lane! Freeze creeps on your side of the lane and farm until mid game.”
“Denying your whole kit by using her W, your hob engage burst is denied and you are left with a severe of damage to contest her's.”
“Akali is not too bad, in higher elo though, she may be a little bit more difficult to deal with, once she is caught in your cc, she can get bursted down pretty quickly but she's very mobile and can escape.”
“she can dash away but cant out trade you. you destroy this champ easy. your passive is very strong.”
“I have listed below (see Overview & Matchup) the key points to what makes most matchups difficult & vulnerabilities that you can take advantage of to be able to turn the tides. Camille's weak early game is what gives her so many difficult matchups especially if you are going against someone that has a kit that can counter yours. If your opponent knows how to play their champion correctly, then you WILL have trouble. Its a matter of understanding your opponent, watching their pattern & taking advantage of the openings. Camille always has the potential to outplay & outperform against anyone including the worst matchups.”
“Once again really annoying, you should survive it though. As I said, play it safe. When she goes into shroud (W) stay back. You dont want to get hit by her daggers (Q). She have been nerfed though so she can't dive you.”
“Skill Matchup, dont feed early, late Game you will be unkillable”
“This is a skill matchup in your favour in my opinion, as long as you aren't giving her healing Q's you can outsustain and poke her with your Q when she Q's. You can bait out her shroud and then all in her after but she has her flip to get away. PTA, Tiamat rush for AOE damage while she shrouds.”
“Avoid her early trades. She can W out of your wall, so you will want to wait for her all in, AND THEN summon your mist walkers and wall to punish her heavily if not outright kill her.”
“not much to do, just farm”
“Hard match up early play around her w cool down. Parry empowered auto.”
“A little hard but not that hard, you have to be quick and dodge or block her Q's / Difícil mas não tão difícil, você tem que ser rápido e desviar ou bloquear os Q's dela.”
“Akali is a real pain in the butt u can still win the lane but she will outscale u even if u win u really need to focus on the side lanes and just watch for a potentional gank from the jungler”
“Her level 1-3 is just better than yours, but after that, unless her lead is massive, you should be fine.”
“Play carefully against Akali. Try to poke her down, without getting poked in return. Stay away from her Q range.
Care about her level 6. She is mostlikely goin to all-in you with her R.”
“Neither of you can really kill the other and you're more useful in teamfights, try to save stun for W or u wont hit it.
Take MR.”
“Kiting doesn't rly do shit to her. Your sustain and R can help tho. With the upcoming changes she can be a doable matchup. ”
“Ur ded bro. If caught in combo, 'F' to pay respects.”
“You can pretty much survive the lane with Spirit Visage, you can also win against her assuming you land your Q before or during she goes inside her smoke but you're likely to be able to kill her due to her abilities that helps her get out of your Range. DO NOT use your Ultimate to chase her, she can easily turn around or use one of her abilities to get away from you”
“She isn't seen that much in top lane. If it's a bad Akali that can't farm or get combos in your going to have a good lane.”
“Her W is good against you and your W, and her poke is decent too. So be extra cautious around her.
”
“Skill matchup. Whoever gets the first kill wins. I would suggest bringing ignite.”
“Ok im low elo so sometimes i struggle to play agaist her but if u have a good mental shes not that hard matchup”
“Akali used to be so much of a counter with her abilities Q has lower cool down and low energy consumptions. But with her stats now, she has not got a burst in early and Q cool down goes up. She can't really trades up.
Tips :
No W Akali = Death. Make sure her E is out of the way too.
Baits her Q. She can't clean waves so you can push it in if you want.
MAX E not Q ! ”
“E either her Q or Q empowered auto, try and bait her W/E, both spells have long cooldowns, then all-in with your next rotation. Don't waste spells while she's in shroud, let her come to you. Care gunblade spike.
”
“Akali's mobility doesn't matter much against you, after she burns R she can't contest Shyvana's burst damage and tankiness.”
“Hard Match Up. Everytime you go for a vital she will be able to throw shurikens at you. Make sure you don't let her AA you after. Back off when she used her shroud and abuse it's cooldown.”
“A good akali player can beat you but if you know also how to play against her it should be fine. EQ when she is close to minions and insta W when your EQ is done to block her Q. Dont get hit by her E and when she uses W dont stay close, go back and wait for the shroud to expire.”
“Abuse your range and poke her hard. ”
“O negocio é pokear e se esquivar dos Q dela até o lvl 2, pois no lvl 2 você sola. Use Grasp. ”
“Can be really annoying in lane with her W as she can just hide then run away but most akali players are scared of you and are more than likely to get their jungle to gank you.”
“Very annoying champ who can poke you down with ridiculous ease and confuse the hell out of you with her shroud. However, she is very snowball reliant and if she falls behind she won't come back. Early levels are in your favor until she starts getting more and more points in Q, then at 6 you need to be careful or she will snowball out of control. If you are able to kill her at least twice you will be fine for the rest of the match, she can't do anything to you unless you fuck it up majorly. Either Ignite or TP works here, and you can pick any runes you want, but if you REALLY want to secure an early lead then Grasp is ideal.

“Hybrid damage. She has insane damage, but she is still an assassin, and not a pure magic one. You can still win this matchup with outplay potential. She can easily abuse you in lane however.”
“Akali's mobility and smoke makes it really hard for Darius to trade and effectively get 5 stacks”
“Usually you can win long trades but be careful of charging your q while she has her e up.”
“High mobility is the only problem here, You crush Akali because all your abilities are AOE. Play smart and its a breeze.”
“This is not a fun match up. Irelia likes auto attacking people but Akali can deny that with her shroud and incredible ability. She doesn't need minions to be mobile she just is.
Tiamat into Wit's end is what you want with this build and you need to try and kill her before 6 since it is much harder for you to stick to her when you both have ultimates.
Punish her when shroud is down but this is a very hard match up past 6 and as the game progresses.”
“This champion still exists? true sight btw”
“Heimer turrets don't go in your ult, and Kindred Ult Doesn't even go in your ult, but for some reason Akali's smoke does. 10/10 Riot”
“Another skill match up, if the Akali is good, you won't be able to beat her due to her super high mobility and burst damage. When you E she will definitely shroud herself so play safe and take Doran's Shield. Just try to get ganks and outscale her.”
“If playing Yasuo, avoid Akali at all costs, ban her, or just hope the opponent is a bad Akali player, because if not, you are screwed. Akali's attack speed outmatches Yasuo's, and that is the only danger when playing Yasuo: when someone outmatches your speed. Also, she can gank you and trick you with her E, so if picked, avoid her.”
“Your damage is coming from your passive and basic attacks so try to fight her when she doesn't have shroud.”
“Akali lane is very skill based, if she is bad you win easily but she can still kill you, but if she is good she can zone you off xp, i will give you tips on how to deal with a good akali in lane. Akali has such a high mobility that its impossible for you to kill her when she gets 6. Your chance to kill her is at lvl 2 and then at lvl 3-5 when she uses shroud. You can trade Q for Q but dont get poked too much becouse she can all in and even dive you”
“you need to hit ur abilities for your W to lock onto champions and if you do that while akali is in shroud it still wont attack her since she is in shroud which is a big problem.”
“You win but dont fight her lvl 1 and 6.
Use your W to trade with her LIKE A BAWS.
A good Akali will Use her lvl 6 powerspike so RESPECT her. (don't fight).”
“Akali does trip your mushrooms when dashing, and she can still trigger your mushrooms while in shroud. However, none of this matters if you get oneshot. Tank build if you want to match her in lane. AP if you're willing to play very, very safe. ”
“Oh gosh... I used to fear her back in 10.2. But now that her early game has been almost depleted, she is pretty weak. Although be warned, even though she can't do a whole lot to you early, she can still trick you. If you try to ult her when she uses her W, your ult won't activate. In some cases (with bugs mostly), it will go on cooldown. Good Akali mains will find something to beat you in, so use your advantages very well early if you can.”
“Be especially careful of Akali's R and E dashes”
“All in your Q and E gives true sight she can't hide”
“Lose: Will add more later”
“Skill Matchup: Will add more info later”
“Akali top is not seen often so don't worry about that. The only reason she is an even threat is her cancerous W. ”
“you can W her do counter her E or ult if she uses her W just run away
after that go all in if shes low enough you can do W+flash on her to kill her if you took flash”
“Akali is not as dangerous as Tryndamere but she will make laning phase fuking hell, since you go conqueror and an auto attack base build, her using W comepletely makes this build usless, unless you can catch her before she uses her W. until youre out of laning phase you will not have fun at all.”
“Take Grasp. This champion is super annoying in lane because she has a lot of mobility to avoid your E stun and you can't dodge a lot of her damage. I usually ban but you can go even with her in lane if you play your cards correctly. ”
“Dont lane akali. Aftershock Required ”
“This champion doesn't exist anymore, don't be afraid to go in. If you know her W is up just waddle until she uses it.”
“Very mobile, one of Aphelios's weakness is his immobility, her shroud makes it "hard" to hit her, once she gets Gunblade you better have already gotten BF sword and Runnans or you are in big trouble”
“Extreme Poke with low cooldowns, broken mobility and stealth make Jax unable to lane against this champion.”
“Build some mr and armor or stack hp. Her whole kit cycled twice won't kill you.”
“Dodge her e, and wait until you get Rapid Firecannon, then you should be able to poke her down. ”
“Try not to get Q, auto'd, Q, auto'd
Kled is one of the champions that can follow an Akali with your E and R.
Your E and Q can reveal her in her Twilight Shroud.”
“Due to how weak Akali currently is, this is a lane you should win. You don't care about her E as it just gives your auto-attack time to charge and thus it doesn't actually help her mitigate any damage. You can just poke her out early and farm up. Level 6 she does still get some form of kill pressure, but you can flay her out of her ultimate so just time it correctly. If Akali gets buffed she will probably move up the list, but I will watch patch notes and move her if needed.”
“She's squishy and meelee range so you get lots of opportunities to harass her with Q's and W's while she's farming just watch our for her Q into passive auto pokes. If she tries to hide in her W you can literally stand in it with Bami's and just spam W to punish her for being a baby”
“Early game is very difficult
Play around her W Cooldown (25 Seconds at Rank 1)
After she uses Shroud, run away, so that she has to trade with you outside her safety
Parry one of her empowered AAs”
“Akali was recently nerfed to the ground and was slightly buffed. Even when she was borderline tier broken, Morde still decimated Akali in lane because he could tank all of her damage and on top of that she was REALLY squishy.”

“Akali somewhat loses to Kled but if she plays smart around her shroud and kites you, you will die. Also if she saves her e and shroud for when you dismount, you won't be able to auto attack her. Your e and q marks her in shroud but that's only when you are on Skarl.”
“No começo do game, o Q dela pode te encher bastante o saco pra farmar, mas no lv 3 você tem bastante vantagem pra ir em cima dela. / Toma bastante cuidado com o W dela, tenta dar vários predicts com seu Q que ela não joga o early.”
“Farm lane
Kill pressure at lvl 1 with good fury + hp
Fleet Runes”
“Akali was recently nerfed to the ground and then slightly buffed. For Akali I suggest playing safe for this one. By corrupting potions and poke with grasp, Q's and barrels. Be sure to save your oranges for when she engages to ensure you survive them.”
“You have have a lot of room to outplay her, but she has a lot of room to outplay you as well. Even after the nerfs, she hurts quite a lot and try not to walk in a shroud unless you have a bigger health pool than her. Take sunfire cape and build mr to be able to punish her if she tries to stale the fight in shroud.”
“Really fucking annoying, you'll never hit her. Try to weaken her level 1 and 2, but you'll outscale her. You can go TP in this lane.”
“Just rush her, she has more cd and you have a better all in.”
“Akali doens't pose a real threat to you. Early game she lacks the damage and when she starts getting some items you will be too tanky and have too much crowd control for her to burst you down.”
“Should be fairly easy, you out dmg her and once you hit 6 you can zone her off farm.”
“Akali does Ad and Ap damage so getting Armor and magic resist will make her very useless once you played safe in laning phase and got the items, but don't trade her in laning phase she will deal so much damage that will drop your health pool down with few combos from her, and also when she drops the smoke bomb don't fight her while she's in her shroud, she will have the advantage, wait it out, and all in her once you see her use all of her abilities”
“Akali is poke heavy, but the combination of her nerks, Bami's cinder and your E mean she can't hide from you. Just don't get cocky, and build grievous wounds if she rushes Hextech Blade. ”
“Akali has really much mobility and can make every 4 seconds a Q because of the high base energy regen. Just stay passive all the time or try to perma push and dodge the abilities.”
“Hard counter champion
Tryn<<<<Akali”
“Very annoying champ who can poke you down with ridiculous ease and confuse the hell out of you with her shroud. However, she is very snowball reliant and if she falls behind she won't come back. Early levels are in your favor until she starts getting more and more points in Q, then at 6 you need to be careful or she will snowball out of control.

Either Ignite or TP works here, and you can pick any runes you want, but if you REALLY want to secure an early lead then Grasp is ideal.”
“Akali loses to Teemo HARD pre 6. But if she manages to stay even until level 6 she can easily all-in the Teemo.
I would say this matchup is slightly in Teemo's favor. But it all depends on how much of a lead you are able to gain pre 6.”
“Due to the invisibility as well as how dashy she is it makes it hard to land an E. Play passive until level 6 and then push her under turret when your ult is up.”
“High burst, strong waveclear. Before level 6 is your only window of hope against her. Destroy her ASAP, if not, she can burst you out once she hits 6.
Tip: Play aggressive early game. When she walks up for last hitting minions, blind her with Q, land some auto attacks for more damage. After 6, look for roams if possible after clearing your minion waves. You are unable to survive Akali's high burst as Quinn.”
“Die Ult kann sie in ihrer Shroud sehen.
Runen: 2, 3 (oder 1 mit Overheal anstatt von Coup de Grace)”
“shroud makes her untargetable and almost impossible to trade with when it's up. But once its down, you can trade and possibly go for a solo kill.”
“Don't get poked out by her lvl 1 Q into AA at lvl 3 you can try to get her Shroud and after it expires you can look for trades!
(You can Cancel her dashes with your 3rd Q)”
“Pre-6 she is useless, poke her down with autos, Q's, and force her to back. As Senna, you have no kill pressure unless they are already low or you are fed. Focus on roaming mid, getting good ults across map to help the team, and managing the wave properly. Post-6, she will be able to all-in you 24/7 with her ultimate. Set up ganks for your jungler to come and secure the kill. Flash + Exhaust, Doran's Blade + 1 HP start, Gotta Blast! rune page.”
“Honestly depends on the player but regardless Akali is cancer and almost unbeatable. You can keep trading with her and get her low for your level 6 and win but if you can't you pretty much auto lose and need jungle assistance unless she makes a HUGE mistake.”
“TLDR: This is a skill matchup game, you need to play carefull with her
(Without Ghoul)
Everytime she wants to trade with you always AA > Q
Use your W ( wall ) if you want to run away from her, dont get hit by her mark,
Stack up your ghouls and dont open them if u dont need.
(With ghouls or graveyard ready )
Land your E as usual to get mark of her, if she did open her smoke then follow your minions as your minions is chasing her despite shes invisible. If you can estimate her movement, you can just W to stop her and you can trade with her.
”
“This is a somewhat difficult lane for us. Akali trades very hard early and it's difficult to answer trades back with her shroud up. Try to bait out shroud and then punish her. If we can not give up too much early we end up outscaling and winning lane after 6. Always try to bait out shroud before ulting in this match up or she can stall our R duration out in camouflage.”
“Can be annoying early on, but becomes much easier post level 3. Your ult now hard counters her
shroud so ganking her after 6 is almost always a guaranteed kill provided she doesn't have ult. Fleet/Electro/HoB are all solid
into Akali.”
“Minor threat unless she is very good and you are very bad, if she shrouds, use your E, Q to cancel slow or to punish her”
“play safe and know how to engage her R is targeted so she cant get away as well”
“Spammable abilities, dashes for days, double dash Ult, Shroud, that makes you useless for several seconds, since the only thing you can potentially hit her with is your W.
If you face her, you should abandon the listed builds. ”
“Fog skill makes Urgot's W harder to use.”
“A good Akali top lane can be a 'niightmare' for noc as she is one of the most mobile top laners you can face , plus she has her W and going for extended trades vs her is actually pretty hard.
The way you can win lane vs her is pressure her if she makes a mistake of randomly using her E or W , you can try to all in then.
If she is playing safe and not going agressive you should do the same and look for some roams after you reach 6.”
“Honestly depend on how good the akali is.”
“Dont trade with her before level 6 as she could easily outtrade you if she dodges your e making you unable to win the trade, shrouding out of vision and disengaging grasp or conqueror are both fine in to akali.”
“Annoying laning against because of his "Q" bait her Q's and go for all in.
If she have "W" she can easily wait his abilitys and kill you.”
“Broken champ, do not fight her pre 6, never hard shove any waves.”
“Starting ain't much, mid game u better stand far af from her as possible, her 3rd skill plus combos can instakill you, u can feed till end game if not cautious..”
“Not such a hard matchup, but remember that's still Akali. You'll need redemption ASAP to get a real advantage.”
“Akali Is Easy Take Ignite For First Blood. ”
“Busted champ, and she can even zone you. You cant farm by walking up with E either, since she can just spam Q at you. Not good. At level 6, she STILL out-damages yo
