Tips Against Akali in Middle Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
Eriosunx says “*MATCHUP THREAT LEVEL IS NOT RELEVANT THEY ARE ALL RANKED 5 FOR PRACTICALITY*
Hard only after 6.
In the recent patches Akali's early-game has been heavily nerfed.
She isnt a lane-bully anymore.
We can easily win lane before level 6.
Make sure to get as much advantage as you can pre-6 in order to be able to duel her in the lv6 spike.”
Avucado says “One of the four characters I would suggest perma banning. If Akali does not take shroud lvl 2, you want to actively look to e through them and make them use their pots early. Be aware of her lvl 6 as she can easily kill you and is arguably the best champ at keeping on top of you. Shroud in general makes it almost impossible to get a good trade in on her and you should look to roam or spam ping for ganks. ”
Drewmatth Taliyah says “MELEE = PUSH EARLY (LEVELS 1-2) - CARE FOR GANKS! (SPAM Q'S TILL 50-60% MANA).
Doran + 2 Pots or Corrupting if you feel it's going to take a while to take her down. Her kill pressure starts only at level 6 where her ult is deadly but that can be countered with Time Warp Tonic and MR. Get Early magic resist and roam first and you will be okay. If you hit your Qs post 6 and you get her down to 50% you can use your E as a deterrent and she will not be able to dash on you engage. Don't stay in her smoke for no reason and just all in her after she's below 50% hp and you are not. Mid-Late game E destroys her dash. If in a nerfed state, Akali matchup is easy. Currently she deals decently with Taliyah so proceed with caution.”
Vicksay says “Pretty sure I'd dodge this match-up. Her weakest point is pre-6, after that whenever her R is up you're dead meat if you miss your E, she can 1v1 you with ease with her shroud, immense damage and INSANE mobility, and if she's not the best she has 3 "get out of jail free" cards in her W, E and R.”
Yeager says “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. ”
crabbix says “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”
Ambitieux says “Should be a very simple matchup. Your autos out range her q, so you must focus on your positioning in lane. Do NOT ever use charm in this lane this is your only trump card over her until 6, and if used incorrectly will be guaranteed death. Safe charm for her E'ing and it is a free half hp chunk where you can pressure the lane under turret for a dive or for you to roam out. She is very linear based movements so it should be predictable with charm. If she ults you just ult away and you can't die. ”
iZianni says “Champion got hard nerfed, it's still unfun to play against if she has multiple items. For the purpose of laning, Lux has an extremely easy time against Akali due to the range advantage alone with poke windows.
Akali is unable to keep up due to the Q nerfs. She can still kill us instantly though if we mess up!”
AP WormMaW Mid says “Our beloved Akali, champion that is one of the hardest ones to play in a game in terms of mechanics, considering her quite low damage output. (#SarcasmEnd) Well, pre-6 you can do whatever you want to her, just be careful about her dash, that she has with her invisibility. Don't try to harass her in expense of lane minions, always prefer that farm rather than harass - expecially if she has Doran's shield. After she has level 6, don't ever try to come closer to her and farm only through your E and R. Any attempt to go on her face will mostly end in your death, even if you would rush Negatron (which you should do anyways, but it's not guaranteed, that it will always save you). So scale up, get your AP and try to oneshot her later on in teamfights. Otherwise you are doomed.”
Sanctuar says “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.”
Yeager says “Before fighting her, bait out her W smoke first as it has a pretty long cooldown. While it's cd, zone her as much as possible with your ball while constantly poking her with abilities and autos.
She spikes once she gets hextech gunblade, so respect her damage at that point and don't overextend. ”
Yeager says “A lot of players struggle in this match up but it's winnable if you know how to play it out. Level 1 Akali will try to Q spam you with empowered auto attacks. The key here is to intentionally walk within range of her Q and then immediately out again to make her use it and miss. If she does that twice within a short amount of time, her energy levels will be super low, so she can't trade back. That's how you trade with akali in the laning phase. She also likes to use her back flip whenever you engage with Q3 to dodge your knock up, and maybe even follow you back. Her shroud is what makes it hard to trade with her since you're an auto attack / skill shot based champion, so you want to make sure it's on cooldown before you go for any fights. Try to bait it out with fake engages, and keep in mind the cooldown of her shroud is around 20 seconds, so whenever it's on cooldown, that's when you want to force fights. The first cast of her ultimate will make her dash behind you. If you're quick enough, you can time your ultimate to potentially knock her within tower range for 1-2 shots, the moment she pressed R1 on you. She can cancel the R1 animation with her back flip, so keep that in mind against good akali players.
”
iZianni says “This champion is pure pain and I hope it gets nerfed into the ground. Due to her vamp, our poke is meaningless and her damage potential means that we will die to a full combo if we ever misstep.
Fortunately, we do have a good laning phase against her and it comes down to who has more impact in team fights. If we deny her the snowball, we should be more impactful. ”
Eriosunx says “Akali has a lot of lane-poke and can easily outlane Katarina, she can also 100 to 0 Katarina when she hits level 6.
Best option is to play safe and the optimal build is ELECTRO+SECONDWIND starting DSHIELD or DARKSEAL
I usually ingore lane , pickup TP+INGITE and play for sides.”
iZianni says “This lane is extremely obnoxious because our damage is gated around by skillshots which is hard to land on an invisible target with 900 mobility skills.
The key to this lane is punishing her early lack of stats and abusing the ranged advantage. Once she has gunblade it comes down to be killed or kill.
Syndra can cast while moving making distance control the most important thing in this lane.
I would consider this a winning lane but it becomes more dicey the longer the game goes on for team fights.
”
shidonryoku says “Play carefully, Akali loves snowball. You can harass combo Q + E, Q + W + E. Throw E into the smoke. Over time you will understand how to dodge her skills.”
Coldsong says “Akali is pretty easy for Talon, especially after all her nerfs. If she gets into your melee range, make sure to trade with an auto Q auto combo to chunk her. When she ults onto you, dodge her E so she does not get free damage and also watch out for her E mark on her shroud, as she can easily juke you with it.”
Kippari says “The matchup is slightly Pantheon favoured before 6, after that I would suggest only taking short trades and using empowered E to disengage if possible.”
Kippari says “She can die very fast if you land a Q but the problem is that she's very hard to hit, try to counter or match her roams after she hits 6, fighting her is quite pointless unless you're very far ahead.”
angeLoon says “Conq Dblade. Domination as Secondary or Resolve with Second Wind.
Be careful With akali all-ín lvl 2.
wait she use her W,sidestep or windwall her Q and go
Spectre's early.
”
StarTundra says “Akali's biggest threat to you is her invisibility field, so keep away from that like the plague, as you can't E her while she's inside. Early levels you can bully her off the wave with AA and outrange her, allowing you to avoid her abilities. Watch out for her fleet footwork stacks as she can use them to land a Q if you're too close. If akali takes Dorans Shield/Second wind, your AA will only be effective while she's high health and once she's level 3, your AA will actually heal her when she is under half. They're still viable additions to your combo however, and you can toss them to proc electrocute. After Akali hits 6, be very wary of her burst as she has a lot of damage if she gets in range, and you're very squishy. Egg TP is super useful against a good Akali
Thanks to Matrixpl for advice on fighting Akali”
luminyan says “Akali is really a skill matchup. I'm also an Akali main, and I've fought Lux multiple times. This matchup can go either way; either she misses her E and has no combo, so you can Q+E, or you miss all of your abilities and she will just poke you down and kill you. Play behind minions, as her E can't go through multiple targets. If she shrouds (W), just E behind you and back up. Don't let her get free poke. ”
Fuzzmonkey says “With Akali's rework she acts a little bit like Zed, try your best to all in pre 6 and kill her (tilt her too). After 6 just make sure you save at least one distortion to get away from her. Also, avoid her E when you W into her (like Ahri charm mechanics) otherwise you will most likely lose a lot of the trades.”
PlayCabex says “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.”
Katasandra says “[1] Harass with autoattacks, but don't get hit by her Q.
[2] Don't fight in shroud.
[3] Sidestep E, or run into turret when she hits it. If she takes it, chain CC her under tower.
[4] If getting all-inned, don't try to reactively ult her R2. It's fast.”
eiensiei says “I'll harass her with E-AA pre-6. Lux outdamages her with E-AA-Q-AA if she shields too and if Akali W's, I'll retreat. After 6 I won't trade, only poke with E's and farm. Barrier is enough to save any all-ins she might attempt, and if I Q her under my tower during a dive, she's usually dead. Constantly staying behind minions makes it so she can't E and would need to commit her R to gap close. Worth noting her E can take her back to her W if she used it on her shroud on first cast.”
Fuzzmonkey says “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.”
WayOfTheTempesst says “Very annoying and oppressive early game due to her being very hard to hit with 3rd q due to her E and W. I would focus on just going fleet in this lane and just going even and out sustaining/ out scaling her. Never E 3rd Q while she has E but rather E and go on her when you have your regular Q and it's not nado so you can hit it more easily.”
Yasukeh says “Take 3 rejuv and double MR into her, and just try to survive. She can Trade with you in ways where there is no recourse. If you can bait out her shroud, when it's down is the only chance you have to possibly fight her. I would consider her a first or second priority for bans, in both mid and top lane. Akali did get nerfed in 10.3, but then they did a micropatch buff, so she is still worth the ban. ”
Katawina52 says “Look for trades pre 6, after that the lane gets way harder. You can go Verdant Barrier here if you struggle a lot vs an Akali so it's way easier to survive. If you're struggling, resolve tree is a good option (go Second Wind, not Bone Plating) to be more forgiving when she pokes you with Q. Remember that you can ult while Akali is in her shroud it's really useful to know that. When you're low hp try your best to play conservative and reset, she can easly dive with her mobility + shroud.”
Dr Eggmund says “Can have some incredible poke on you, position yourself so your out of harms way and always farm and poke with Q as she is a melee champion. Her invisibility can be quite a shock so play passively while it's out unless you are CERTAIN you will be fine and can beat her.”
Sylvan Lore says “You outrange Akali pretty heavily, but that doesn't mean that she can't get to you. Level 1 she will almost always take Q. If you space her correctly you should be able to land poke in the form of Autos and Q while being safe from her Q. Should she land her Q on you though, the slow combined with her speed will likely allow her to land her passive auto and win the trade. Don't be afraid to chase her a bit and keep autoing her after she combos as she will be stuck on cooldowns. Pushing into an Akali is acceptable early as long as you are in a position to push hard enough to reset the wave before her jungler comes. Levels 3+ you will lose any even all-in trade. That's not to say that you will lose all trades, but you have to be strategic in safely poking her when possible without going oom. 3+ she wins, but especially at level 6 she has a devastating all-in that must be respected. As with most assassins, she falls off in the mid to late game. Zhonya's is super high value into her in lategame fights as she is super vulernable when diving in and can rarely afford to stick around for 2.5 seconds to finish you off. You can even win a lot of lategame 1v1s against her if you play it well, but regardless the damage and utility you can safely put out will not be matched. The real goal of this matchup is to not fall so far behind that you never get there. Phase rush and Stopwatch are ideal runes into Akali. If they have another AP threat you can consider MR runes, but I wouldn't do it just for her. Zhonyas is very high value as always into an assassin and can even be considered a second item. Merc treads are also viable if you are really struggling with this lane. Other than that building standard items and out-scaling her is completely fine.”
Polarshift says “Not the absolute worst matchup for Ryze to be honest. Your E will still hit her if she uses shroud inside a minionwave and when there is no minionwave there is no reason for you to be anywhere close to her, other than potentially poking with max range Q. After lv 6 try to dodge her since she will one-shot you with her ult.”
DarDarThePenguin says “A very simple and easy matchup if you relax and play it slow. Buy a Vampiric Scepter on your first back and get a null magic mantle if you're still struggling. If you don't, take the Fleet page and double MR.”
Aethlo says “Akali has equal wave clear. ||
Akali loses pre-3 ||
Akali wins pre-6 (Annie can punish
Akali with her range if played properly) ||
Akali and Annie are even at 6. ||
Annie outscales Akali. ||
TIP: Chunk her early if she hasn't gone fleet footwork. If she has, just focus on the wave for a level 2 all-in. At level 6 it is a very close fight. You have to stun her to win. If she gets the jump on you - you will be one-shot unless you have stun up.
Make sure to Q her to guarantee the stun - Akali is slippery and can avoid tibbers. DO NOT GET HIT BY HER E (stand behind minions).”
WayOfTheTempesst says “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.”
Rermo99 says “Akali is one of those champ that can outplay you easily but since your Malzahar you still win the game. You impact in the game is a lot more important than her's. She's good at roaming and you're good at punishing roamers by getting the first tower. Her W will piss you of, but don't be affraid you only have to play safe until it's wasted and she dies. However, her mobility is against you. If you get hit by her E, you'll die quick. If you dodge it, she looses half her damage.”
LunarVortex says “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.”
richardlized says “Akali is a Zed counter. Akali has counters to Zed’s kit. Zed relies on hitting his Q to win, but Akali has 4 dashes, invis, and outplay potential. I would suggest to ban Akali, since beating a good Akali is extremely hard. The way Zed wins this matchup is by constantly poking Akali when she goes for minions with your Q by Qing minions when she goes for last hits. Oracle’s lens is a great buy. You can bait her into your tower by swapping with W when she Es you. The only time that you would want to ult her is when she is low, because there is ZERO way you can kill a full health Akali with all her cooldowns of course.(unless you do unrealistic Q prediction)
”
Aegox says “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.”
XayLies says “ 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.”
xMetix says “Akali has been quite easy for the past few weeks until a small power-shift where Riot seemed to completely overtune her damage. She's a very scary enemy that can snowball out of control. Do not trade with her level 1, Try to poke down before all in abusing the fact she has to walk up to last hit in melee range. Use Grass element a lot.”
CashLOL says “Just wait for her shroud to be in cooldown or bait it out with a simple W-E-Q combo before using your ultimate. Taking conqueror in this matchup is good!”
Thresh Mid says “Akali's Five Strike Strike (Q) has a slightly higher range than Thresh's auto attacks but her passive makes her want to jump into trade range for Thresh. Both Shuriken Flip (E) parts can cancelled along with her Perfect Execution (R) with Flay.”
Kirito OTP Xerath says “Con Akali, básicamente la victoria depende de que tanto la respetes, y de que tanto la castigues, con esto me refiero a que no te acerques tanto como para dejarle un combo abierto, pero intenta pockearla en lo que ella farmea, nuevamente, cuidado a Nivel 6 con su E y R, considera comprar Zhonyas, inclusive puedes traer el cronometro con las runas de inspiración, también asegúrate de ver sus runas para poder armar los mejores objetos para contrarrestarla.”
fanchessfan says “Akali has an abysmal 45% winrate into Vayne in the top lane. Take exhaust, E her away when she goes in, and make sure she doesn't roam. Remember to take double MR runes to negate her burst. ”
Dj Memelord says “Go ravenous hunter. You need sustain for longer fights. Try and spin on her when she is in her ShAdOw CircLE. Q max is also pretty good here combined with dorans shield.”
DabiDabi says “50-50 matchup. Even though Akali's shroud can be annoying she can't really do anything pre 9. Her Q energy cost is too much for her to trade with you. After her nerf, she can't really burst you with her E+Q combo as fast and her ult damage is greatly reduced so you can almost always win every trade. Only way you lose is if you take too many Qs and passive autos from Akali, or if she is able to full combo you and waste your ult or passive with her shroud. At level 6, if you know her shroud is down you can go in for a WQR combo to kill her. Or at least try to proc your passive on her.”
TheMockingSnowman says “Even though the matchup is in your favor, she can get out of your CC abilities if you try to initiate a trade. Shove the wave and roam or trade back if she started a trade. Your W can force her out of her smoke field.
”
mrmundo says “Tough but not too hard. If she hits you with her E, make sure you have your E2 up so you can stun her. You out sustain her, and you user her ult better.”
Eriosunx says “Akali is a pretty common matchup as well.
You can pretty much abuse her in the early levels.
We will be way stronger than Akali before level 6.
Her kill pressure starts at level 6.
Make sure to Windwall her Shuriken and dash behind her when she tried to throw a Q.
Your windwall can block both her E and her Q.”
King Turtle says “She's not going to destroy you early game, but her shroud makes landing a full combo difficult, and once she hits level 6 there's a good chance she can start chunking you. Once she gets 6 though she'll likely get more aggressive, and you can start poking her down.”
A55AILANT says “Not the worst matchup for ryze.
Your E will still hit her if she uses shroud inside a minionwave.
After lvl 6, try to dodge her, as her ult could 1 shot you.
”
Zenshi says “Since the mini-rework she got, her early game energy is terrible. Try and bait abilities and poke until level 6. That's when you will die...”
TismoTheTilted says “Before using your R you have to bait out her W, otherwise it will simply be wasted.
Be careful when trying to get your passive in, her Q deals ridiculous damage and without your W she could get her passive in without issue.”
3pitesgiro says “Read the movement pattern and use accordingly your e. Also, try to roam to other lanes, because akali cannot do many things at your lane.”
Boomblight says “Very hard matchup for toplane and even worse for mid. start using e when she uses r1, recast to stun and then run away. you should out scale if even. Ask toplaner to rotate if you see her as enemy mid on champ select.”
duhnx says “Just dodge, do it for your sanity. She dodges out of Q and E easily and outranges your autos with Q. She also has Zonays in her build path so she loses nothing from building an early seekers. Try to roam and pick up kills to get your other lanes ahead to carry you. One of the people I ban when playing Pyke.”
TheDuskWalker says “Flash Ignite or Ghost Ignite. Electro for Flash Ignite/Phase rush for Ghost Ignite. Conqueror is a possible choice.
Respect her early game and pre lvl6 it's usually fine to pool her e2. When she hits lvl 6 you can't react to r2 but have to predict it in order to pool it successfully. You outscale her hard.”
Shikikashi says “Bait her into using her shroud then you will have no trouble beating this guy, she received plenty of harsh nerfs lately so we can easily kill her as long as her W is not available.”
NigYone says “If u are looking for a trade make sure u E under tower, because if she Es u during ur E she would follow u back under tower or else she wins other trades due to her shroud it is hard to hit Qs”
Yumi Project says “Depends on what akali are u facing.
U cant really win cuz if u use ur Q near to her, akali will use her Q on u.
If u ult her, she will ult you. Try to roam bot to gain some advantage.”
NINSHINIK says “Depends on what akali are u facing. U cant really win cuz if u use ur Q near to her, akali will use her Q on u. If u ult her, she will ult you. Try to roam bot to gain some advantage.”
Curt Mcbeltpants says “Akali is one of the best matchups for Galio, not only has the champion been nerfed quite a lot she also does not hurt you and you can reveal her in her stealth with your W or E, can also follow up on her roams quite easily, the only bad part is if she has conqueror then you can't duel, but other than that you should be fine.”
Daers says “She can dodge your ultimate with her E and R, so don't use it as long as those two abilities are up. This also applies to Zhonya's Hourglass which she gets every match. Be aggressive off of her E cooldown, and avoid all-ins post 6 unless your jungle is there or you are ahead. ”
ReapeRGP says “Skill matchup. I really don't mind akali, you outrange her so just keep poking her to get her low and make her miss CS. After you get Lost Chapter just poke her and call for ganks for easy kills. If you see she is roaming push your wave.”
SpartanDumpster says “This is a skill-based match up, but I would say Akali has the advantage for the most part. The thing with Akali's is they either flop about and trip over themselves, which you can just slaughter, or they're doing laps around you and successfully turret diving you by level 3 or maybe earlier. You rarely find an in between with her.”
MikeVix says “Akali is a pain in lane but if she wastes her shroud go all in. Poke her Take small trades with WEQ in lane to lower her HP and then go all in for the final blow. Watch her E and R for escapes. Roaming is the best option for this lane.”
wDesired says “Don't take unnecessary trades with her early. And play around minions when you are fighting her. Try not to take a fight in the Jungle .”
DemonDiana says “A bit of a tough matchup. The biggest strength Akali has vs Diana is her mobility, therefore the ability to dictate how Diana can fight in a 1v1. Akali is stronger in the 1v1. Akali has better abilities in the 1v1 and 2v2. ”
Excalibxr says “This matchup is very hard to win on Katarina, I recommend walking inside her Q range to bait her Q out, and E behind her to dodge the Q. Currently, Akali only has 200 energy and her Q costs 100, so if she misses her q, it is harder for her to trade. When you E behind her, make sure to use w and move unpredictably, because if she lands e you always lose the trade. Past level 6, just look for roams if you are not ahead as akali can easily one shot you. ”
Little Planet says “Despite the fact that you beat Akali pre 6 pretty mercilessly you'll still lose more or less instantly after she hits 6, and the longer the game goes the worse it gets.
Winning againster her after 6 requires you to either oneshot her with R or use Q to interrupt her second R cast.”
Dvide says “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”
Kscepersky says “Playing vs Akali isn't easy, but also isn't hard. You just need to be careful about Akali's Q, but also u can poke her by your's AA. You just need to get good play to win this matchup/”
Joseph Evanss says “You out scale her but not by much, never e into her or she will get a free e off. lvl 1 wait for her to use q then walk up and trade with her because of her high energy costs. Wit's End helps a lot late game. Go Bone Plating, Overgrowth + D Blade”
ahspaghetti says “look for trades pre 6, start with d shield as she will poke you a lot with q. Runes can go second wind if she is a good akali. try to trade with her when her q is down as in early games her q uses 100 energy when she totally only has 200. be careful after 6 as she can easily 100 to 0 you when you're low and under tower. you can try to get into her q range then e behind her to dodge her q then look for an all in or extended trade, the situation benefits you even more if she already used or missed e.”
Minnotaro says “Its very very easy matchup, He cant farm because of your voidling and E also cant kill you since you play safe til level 6, you can bait him out at level 6 to use his E on you then when he does E2 make him die under turret at the moment he comes to you with your R ”
Black Shadow QIYANA says “Akali is a really strong champ plus she can go inviz dash away from ur skillshots and can come when u are lack of ablilities just try to play safe or roam or even go for a early 2v1 then you can fight her and burst her down at any point.”
HalexUwU says “Generally you can poke Akali really hard level 1-3 which makes her pretty easy to deal with before first back.
If you manage to root an Akali in her shroud she will be revealed. ”
BullRedHunter says “It's hard to win lane against Akali as Ekko, you can trade when her W is on cooldown and when she doesn't have ult, other wise she will win any trade with you just play safe,roam and scale”
7daysko says “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). ”
peytonqt says “[SKILL MATCHUP] [PR/Conqueror/Electrocute] [D Blade/Long Sword/Tear] Akali is a bitch to play against. LVL1 harass her and poke her down as much as you can while also maintaining CS. If she walks up with energy back up so she doesn't Q AA you. When she hits LVL3 Akali wins the trade if she has shroud. Otherwise, you CAN trade onto her but still be careful because her burst is not fun. Post-6 she can literally insta-kill you from nowhere. Just be careful and don't fight her unless you just that ahead in the game. And even still, she might just one shot you with her execute anyways.”
ChimpNA says “Her main damage is from her Q's which require a lot of energy. Look to avoid the Q's and harass her while her energy is low. You can all in her level 6+ as long as you aren't chunked too hard as her R has high execute damage.”
Doctor Yas says “One on my least favorite match ups. Tons of mobility, strong early game, and can snowball off lane. Only way to beat an Akali as Yasuo is to engage when her shroud is down. ”
JoshAy says “You counter Akali
If she hits an ability back off so she can't get an empowered auto. 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. ”
JustMTK says “This is a good matchup for Qiyana, you'll go for electrocute trades, what I do is I go in with stealth Q, W out (earth element) and use another Q on her. In that time she will have used her shroud & is vulnerable for a potential gank or burst from you.”
Marky 2 Butts says “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. ”
MikaeraKun says “She can be pretty tough to play against because of her W and R, but if not skilled enough she should be a pretty easy matchup, otherwise ask for ganks or go top.”
Void Silence says “She can waveclear very well with her Q and heal most of the damage because of dorans shield and fleet footwork. Her shroud is annoying and she can 100-0 you with a combo so do not feed her and press R when she gets into your team”
TheoRut says “She can dodge your abilities easily, play safe and bait out her E. When her E is on cooldown you can one shot her with your combo. Electrocute is suggested against this matchup.”
iKrez says “Akali is pretty annoying because you can't take a long trade against her.
Use your Q grass if Akali hit your E (when the target is invisible, akali can't press E to get close to her target)”
Ryank30 says “Fleet + Resolve. . Play to scale, avoid trading with her when your E is not up and her E is. Buy an oracle after 6 or during mid game to see where she is in shroud. BE AWARE OF HER BUFFED ULT CD, IT IS VERY LOW NOW. However, major nerfs to all her items and especially her Q energy cost makes it much easier to duel her, and even easier in the late game. Do not fight her at 6 unless she sux, and you have jungle help.”
19Evoli97 says “Akali is more of a threat towards the 10minute mark since Akali's items grant her an early powerspike compared to this build's slower pace.”
kindo says “Super easy early game matchup. Get perma lane prio and rotate for jungle. Problem comes post-6 when she can 100-0 you with her combo and her ult CD is much lower than yours.
The matchup comes down to a skill matchup where you need to dodge her E to prevent her from forcing your ult whenever she goes for an all in.
Matchup snowballs extremely hard which makes it harder for kindred, but gets easier once you get Shieldbow. Overall though, it's easily manageable given you don't fight in her shroud with her ult. Typically good to build Wit's End as a third item unless she is only AP on the team.”
Tatty says “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”
Mpegial says “This is a skill match-up, Akali has strong pressure and can kill you fairly easily, poking her till you can flash Q Auto Ignite her is a good idea.”
1 Am Zed says “Extremely hard to play against, You need to be very skilled to play against akali, doesn't matter how good she is, I permaban akali in champ selects, Would recommend you to do so aswell as that matchup is very akali sided.”
Tauricus2017 says “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.”
eternalkuuseki says “somewhat of a skill match up this season. your R can hit her in her shroud. early on do NOT get hit by her Q>Passive. if she engages with e you can shunpo to her and do double daggers for a quick trade. don't do extended trades as she ahs a 1,5sec cd on her q.”
Zileni says “Extremely hard especially if the Akali is really good, Avoid pushing in the lane in the early game. You can win small trades in the early game, especially if she has no energy from cs-ing or poking. Try to outfarm her and play safe if you wanna win against her.”
mihaila says “Minimal poke with her Q, try to use E to dodge her E, if u try to E2 her she will escape with her E, dont take overextended trades so she cant value W.”
xoonaka says “Relatively easy matchup, respect her lvl 1-2 and try to look for an all in once you hit lvl 3, since your Q and E gives true sight, it almost renders her W useless.”
x_Kassy_x says “GIRL JUST DODGE, ok ok just kidding but she is a real headache. U cant 1v1, u cant out-roam her and once she gets six u better prepare ur ass. Just play safe and wait for tf... and pray for the best xD”
Sojurini says “Try to poke her with AA and E + AA at lvl 1 don't let her farm try to dodge her E if you dodged her E you can kill her with Q + E + AA + R + AA + E if she has not W if she has try to poke her until her health is down half then catch her and do Q + E + R combo and bingo if you take her E run to undertower and catch her with your Q if she runs into you if she uses her R use your W to shield yourself and hit her with your E + AA and use your Q when she uses her 2nd R if you can catch her bingo”
HeroAronNavius says “Akali is one of Yone's biggest counters. She has her Q that she can spam you with in early lvl 1 with her strong auto attacks. You have to try to engage and kill her when she has used up all of her energy and then u may have a chance of beating her. So try to ban Akali in ban phase.”
GabomanDeLegado says “En el mejor de los casos le podremos tirar la Q mientras está en la niebla, y lo mismo con la E, esto la revelará y le quitará el potencial de poke que tiene para bajarnos de Skaarl. Akali muere instantáneamente si entramos cuando tenga la E en enfriamiento.”
Reppy says “This champion is one of the hardest, if not the hardest counter to Katarina. Her whole kit is able to dodge Katarina’s daggers and this nullifies her relevance. Her damage output is also way higher than Katarina’s and the only way you can deal with her is if you’re SUPER ahead. If not, she beats you side lane and is impossible to kill during teamfights.”
Luciiid says “Easy lane. 2 points into w and then max out q. Very hard to lose trades when you can outrun her with your w slow. At level 6 either bait her R1 or get her low enough to w q r ignite one shot (electrocute). If you take conqueror then the lane is slightly harder.”
Noodles912 says “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.”
roselol says “can oneshot you under tower if good player. if bad player, just poke with auto and q's. know that her shroud is really high cd early, so take advantage of that.”
mc_jojo3 says “Champions with a lot of dashes, cc and poke are big red flags for Shyvana mid.
Dodge her Q and E and make sure she has used her W before going in, and be sure to now be low since her ult can take you out easily”
Noodles912 says “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.”
Int4Kindred says “Since she has been nerfed she is really not as much of an issue. You outrange her, so frequently poke and you'll be fine. Her dashes are awkward for you, her Q is quick so it can be hard to dodge with your Dance of Arrows if you aren't paying attention.”
FerretInADurag says “She has a lot of dashes. That's an understatement. She is annoying to deal with when she goes into her smokey doughnut. Predicting, where she is takes practice but is possible. Bait her shuriken throw, and stun her with your E once she recasts. Guardian angel is good against her.”
BIG BRAIN MAN says “Laning will be annoying, but most Akali players flop outside of laning phase.
Lvl 1:
Her lvl 1 dmg and ms is absurd, mostly try to cs with q
Lvl 2:
A q + e + auto combo will beat her q + empowered auto. If she gets w second, you’ll win trade, but going for the shunpo is dangerous if she shrouds before you e in. if she starts e and hits it, she’ll win the trade hard.
Lvl 3-5:
It’s hard to all in her pre-6 due to her shroud. Stick to lvl 3 safe pokes, but shunpo’ing is still dangerous if she shrouds before you e in.
Lvl 6: At this point, you can do a lvl 6 all-in because your ult hits her in your shroud, but you need to play around her ult because the first part of it will cancel your ult. If she hasn’t used the first part of her ult, don’t go for an all-in.
”
pavelp420 says “Extremely mobile, crazy damage. Pretty much no hope in landing a good W, however you can take advantage of the E2 by either using R (if it can collide with her) or W on top of you if she goes for an all-in. Make sure to be aware of her location when you all-in her when she W, she can very easily cheese you.”
NuclearAkali says “Not very challenging as long as you are winning trades. Play around walls because Akali has no control of where she can go with her E or her ultimate.”
Wunsch3957 says “Skill matchup favored for Akali after 6. Wind wall her E and don't fight when she has W up. Don't let her proc passive on you ever. Fleet/Conqueror+Domination.”
Gayaa1 says “Akali as the possibility to dodge every katarina daggers and also deal more damage than katarina (only way to win this matchup is getting ahead!)
”
Lot of Wind here says “She can be a pain to kill because of her shroud. However, if you play safe she won't be able to instantly kill you. You wall can block her E and Q. Don't try to play too aggressive against akali.”
kryptonkat says “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.”
AkiraHopeXDDDD says “Skill match up. If she shrouds either walk away or throw out your W as she tries to walk towards you to Q and if possible Q onto her and you should out trade her. After 6 should try to either Flash away from her execute R just one shot her if shroud is down.”
Wunsch3957 says “Let her push early, try to have your E return position under tower so when she dashes with E she follows you under tower. Fleet with either domination or resolve and flash/exhaust. Fight when her W is on cooldown.”
Impossible2Gank says “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.”
Twitch.Tv-LimitBreaker88 says “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.”
GeDBo says “Akali has good sustain especially if she goes for the Precision runes. Oblivion orb would be a nice option to purchase early on, preventing her from healing as much, since you should farm and poke her. You win trades until she reaches level 3. After this point you should focus on farming and poking her. Don't engage first, she will kill you. Conqueror or Electrocute rune pages are suggested in this match up. Conqueror for sustain or Electrocute for burst. For spells you can go ignite (if you are not planning on buying oblivion orb) or barrier (if you don't want to be burst).”
PsykerZeo says “Just stand behind minions to not be hit by her E and poke her from distance with PtA, flee when she uses her W and keep hitting your Q on her. Try to get the timing of her ult with yours. ”
nZk01 says “(Mid) You can poke her early very easily and should be ahead till first back, if she has resolve 2nd and DShield it will be way harder with almost no kill pressure, just play for Lane and try to not get killed, she can 1 shot you very easily after 6, would recommend Barrier or Exhaust.”
1st fizz on mars says “hard one if akali plays well
she will zone u from farm and she have a lot of burst damage
u can kill her easy if u hit your ult
as for me she is easy after 2 items if u are not behind ”
CrazyyBrrr says “Akali before lvl 6 is weak
If u can beat her before lvl 6 and getting advantage is not gonna be a problem on the lane
After lvl 6 u are gonna have some problems with her”
Edg3Lord says “Akali is a very annoying champion to play against, and one that will require you to want to rush and get as much XP as possible before her. She has good trading tools and a lot of mobility that will help her early into the game to evade your E. If you want to fight her, make sure that you at least have debuffed her with your Q so you may be able to see her while invisible.”
The Jhin Cena says “She will poke a fair bit, however she is also fairly easy to bait. If you try and hook her and she E's on you to avoid it, you can expect her to then reactivate her E to dash toward you, but you can then in turn E to pull her into the turret for a kill. With that being said, Akali in general is quite easy to trade with, and if she pops her cloud, just walk away to avoid it. If she is low within her cloud however, you can also risk ulting inside and perhaps be lucky enough to kill her, though Oracle Lens is usually what you should bring against her post 6.”
Coldsong says “While Akali is in her shroud, W inside of it, as it will be super easy and will deal a lot of damage. Dodge her E if you can so she does not get free engage and go in when you know her R is down.”
Gloglito says “High mobility champion, which means huge ability to juke and evade your abilities. Try to save your e, and respect a lot her level 6 burst potential. You should be more impactful as the game goes on.”
InkHeiko says “As for Ahri, I will ad this in the assassin category like Akali, Fizz or Diana. These are not impossible lanes, just very hard, so don't hesitate to change for defensive runes, and again, be careful with traps and roaming. ”
SoraSan says “Akali tem um bom sustain. principalmente se ela for com a pagina de Precisão. Orbe do Oblívio cedo, diminuirá o potencial de cura dela. Você ganha todas as trocas com ela até o nível 3, após isso, foque em farmar e pokear. Não troque com ela após o 3 e jogue perto da sua torre depois do 6 dela.
Voce pode ir de Chuva de Lâminas e Incendiar caso queira tentar abate-la antes do 6.
Ou pode ir de Conquistador e Barreira para tentar sobreviver ao Burst dela.
Eletrocutar é uma opção viável para poke. ”
bladerjoe says “You can defeat an Akali all you need to do is undertand how the enemy player uses mark, if they go in on you stay under you tower and alpha into them this type of trade works 90% of the time.”
nZk01 says “(Mid) You can poke her early very easily and should be ahead till first back, if she has resolve 2nd and DShield it will be way harder with almost no kill pressure, just play for Lane and try to not get killed, she can 1 shot you very easily after 6, would recommend Barrier or Exhaust.”
l2ingeR says “Melee ranged inconvenience to be against.
Her invisibility makes Autos and Q's rather difficult to utilize, while W and E are easy for the Akali player to dodge.
But again, short ranged melee. If we really wanted to, we could shove waves, plant traps, and roam all game.”
KawaiiSpecter says “Akali has a lot of lane poke. Best to start with Doran's Shield against her. Look for trades pre 6, after that, the lane will become harder. You can ult while Akali is in her shroud, this is really good to remember. When your low HP try to play conservative and reset because she can easily dive with her mobility + shroud. You can try to roam a bit to gain some advantage.”
Tamatamo says “She isn't too much of a problem if you know what you're doing. Dodge her q by baiting it out like natural. When she Goes invisible by her cloak Flay where you last saw her and hook if you hit her with flay. By then her cloak should be gone and if you're strong enough try to all in her. Beware of her high mobility though. It can be very tricky.”
Saddest says “You will not win a 1v1 against a decent Akali ever, let alone a good one. You have the upper hand post 6, as you can ult her in shroud. ”
kennybang says “take corrupting because her sustain is balanced asf, also when you w walk back because her q range is shorter than your w range or something like that.”
sidromest says “
Level 6 she can combo you starting with ult or "E" and kill you with ignite no matter the items she has.
In teamfights it's really hard to focus her and if you try and fail you just wasted your stun.”
SamIAm12 says “Akali is so so when fighting, you're tanky but doesn't mean you can miss your taunt on her, if you can hit the taunt and get your Q and W up then you can win it easily, although if she roams be sure to counter gank.”
Tizgard says “If Akali plays smart with W, and plays passive in the lane, there's not much you can do besides wait for ganks or roam. I recommend exhaust for this matchup, also a good ban.”
BlitzIMO says “Difficult skill matchup. Taking TP and Corrupting Potion start will be more valuable against her because she wants to chip away at your health before all-ining you post 6. ”
Do1HaveTh3Sauce says “She got nerfed to the ground, and you significantly out poke her making it hard for her to kill you. Be weary of her level 6 powerspike.”
Cornifa says “Skill matchup entirely: she can W away of you but if she loses that privilege nothing can hold you back, unleash and outtrade the shit out of her. If she ults you w her into your tower.”
OhReflects says “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.”
xxseraphinaaxx says “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. ”
BigFatCat909 says “Akali is a very odd matchup, depending on her build and runes depends on the difficulties, she is also a matchup where if one plays safe enough they should almost never die to the other.”
Johan Paracelso says “She moves, like A LOT. If you are against Akali, she can beat you easily, her E and R makes her a difficult target, and her W can charge up her Energy and give her some stealth, so, you can't beat her jhust like that. Playing around cooldowns can do the trick, try to bait her E to go in with your E Q3 W Auto trade, or, you can wait for her to use her W so you are sure where she is. If you don't have Cooldowns either, just play safe, stay healthy, and wait for your jungle or your two items Power Spike”
Hiimkata says “Look for trades pre 6, after that the lane gets way harder. You can go Verdant Barrier here if you struggle a lot vs an Akali so it's way easier to survive. If you're struggling, resolve tree is a good option (go Second Wind, not Bone Plating) to be more forgiving when she pokes you with Q. Remember that you can ult while Akali is in her shroud it's really useful to know that. When you're low hp try your best to play conservative and reset, she can easly dive with her mobility + shroud.”
Balik Aadam says “Pyke 6. seviyeden sonra suikasçılara karşı gücünü kaybeder. Erken oyunda kesmeniz gerekir. Yakıncı büyücülere karşı her zaman agresif oynanmalıdır.
”
CaptianMike says “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!”
ShadowSlayerMain says “Don't start trading under Level 3, farm only by last hitting because her Q's low Haste and Slow can punish your mistakes, Malmortius is optional, careful with your position when she casts W”
Poppi Sama says “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.”
mrsuits says “Pre 6 you have a free"ish" lane. Put Soldier infront of the minion she wants to cs and poke her with your HoB. If she is low enough around 350-400 hp you can E>Q into her face and ignite her. She is probably dead.
After 6 begin playing safer. She can all in you preety easily, but you can still kill her. Play close to your tower but not under. Bait her first part of her ult. When she will try to use the second part push her under tower and follow her so she cant E out of it. ”
bboyxje123 says “Playing against akali shouldn't be a problem. Use your W to get vision on akali when she is in her shroud. Remember that if akali ults you, she will land behind you.”
Justin58111 says “Akali can always use her W to confuse you or sneak up on you. You could try some lucky shots with your W and Q to find out where she is, but you should try to keep your distance to her. When she's comming your way with her E, try to jump under the tower, so she's forced to leave and takes a few tower shots. But be careful when she's lvl 6, because a full combo will prob kill you.”
ParkChnm says “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.”
ParkChnm says “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.”
UnoTrickCho says “It's slightly skewed towards her but it's largely a skill matchup. Try and predict where in her shroud she'll be, and if you land your q's you'll win.”
KataTocDo says “All about experience and skill. Your ult is able to hit her when she is in her shroud(W). Dodge Q and if you get hit by E, go under the turret or place a W and punish her if she wastes her E. You are either good against her or terrible against her.
Runes: Electrocute-Precision
Starting Item: D. Sheild
”
Elite500 says “If she doesn't have TP nonstop auto her early even if she qs you, if she has fleet you will win auto battle with electro and setup the lane for success, her ult is impossible to react pool, you have to predict it”
Jnewbringspain says “Akali is a laning monstrosity. She just has so much mobility, it's difficult to land your Q. If you do manage to land it, she will just go invisible making it impossible to win a trade. I wouldn't bother trying to kill her unless you get help from your jungler. You'll just end up wasting your mana early on. Try to farm up and be useful in teamfights.”
Yamikaze says “Reworked Akali is also a quite difficult matchup because she's able to spam her Q's on you, and dissappear with smoke bomb when you're engaging. You have to bait her Q's by walking in and out, and try farm with your Q. You can also "fake" a engage in order to make her use her smoke bomb, and then you can all-in her. Be sure you have a minion wave around you when you're fighting, so you can dash around and make it much harder for her to hit her ultimate as both charges are skillshots.
Take oracle lens after the laning phase. It won't reveal her, but it will show where she's going so you can still hit her with Q's.”
woo99 says “TINY. She can never hit you with e unless you purposefully get hit to bait her under turret. Respect her w and walk out. Free ganks, free trades, free prio.”
wildersovereign says “Do your best to avoid trading with her early on unless she blows both her Q and E or if she is low on energy. She will out-damage you quite easily and she doesn't require mana to do so. Her E makes her annoying to kill, but its cooldown is pretty sizeable (16 seconds at Rank 1), so take advantage of that window.”
Timowatzki says “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!”
rajsovsky says “Personally I hate this champion. Even tho she got nerfs etc. If you have hands or you are just diamond+ you can make really good use of it. Dashes, invisiblity, damage, poke. I usually ban her in my games so i don't really know useful tips but i guess that you dont want to fight her till you get Rocketbelt or junglers help. You also want here to get your wraiths to heal from em. Try to not go in her melee range and remember that her ult is powerspike so she can easily kill you in lane.”
invalidd says “Ban. Really hard to hook and all-in, can't AA her in shroud, has 4 dashes + flash at lvl6, you only win the trade if you hook her
into the minion wave or tower. Ungankable.”
NoizRain says “Akali is from the hardest matchups cause she can W and you cant E or Q her she has some counterplay though thanks to your R so its not an Extreme threat.”
Fox_Gan says “Akali is hard to deal with, cause of her smoke [W] and mobility. Try to avoid her [Q] daggers or take them with your passive shield. Use Oracle Lens to try to find her in smoke and push her from it. Once she starts to be visible, use [R] to don't let her disappear than push her from smoke. Mercury Threads is best option but not on first back.”
Aikairi says “She beats you at all phases of the game. She can use her E to dodge your daggers, use her R to get out of your daggers as well as escape your Ultimate, and also has a second activation to dodge another one of your spells. Last of all, her W is just overkill at this point. It's a safety-net to ensure that she can kill you or run away if she messes up hard.
THIS THREAT SECTION IS WIP, SO THERES ONLY A FEW CHAMPIONS HERE”
Penpiddin says “Manaless champs always stronger early. Her Q insta kills your pets. Just farm up to 1300g for chapter. Back off when she shrouds and respect the all in at 6. Recommend early oblivion orb to counter her healing items.”
SkellyBirb says “Akali has a lot of burst potential. While you should be able to poke her down early, if she gains a lead she can one shot you through your spell shield because of how much damage her all her abilities do combined with the cooldown of them.”
RedNBlue says “Its a 50/50 matchup you can kill her any time of the game and she can kill you anytime of the game unless if one of the two is being played by a complete to partial dud.”
KASSAW1N says “Kass vs akali: Al principio te llevas coraza ósea con elec y sortija de doran, te subes de primera la Q para los Kunais de akali. En lvl 6 si quieres tradear sin miedo de que te haga el combo con la R, mantente dentro de los minions mientras tradeas por que le deniegas usar la E hacia ti y haciendo que no pueda poner el combo completo. (compra hielo eterno)
”
PrimeRex226 says “Not the best of matchups , especially early game. Late game or mid game you should have no problem with her. Farm with q so buy dorans ring. Watch out for her Shroud.”
Rauschel says “Unless she Combos you too Death with her all in, you should be relativly save from her because she has nothing to stop you from escaping exept from her E.”
YIVENDER says “One on my least favorite match ups. Tons of mobility, strong early game, and can snowball off lane. Only way to beat an Akali as Yasuo is to engage when her shroud is down.”
Tortoise_Maniac says “- 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”
Big Shawn says “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.”
Ambitieux says “Kinda squirrely of a matchup. Realistically keep your range on her and if she all ins you just miasma and kite. Might suggest getting some MR against her.”
Chili Dog says “If she doesn't have TP nonstop auto her early even if she qs you, if she has fleet you will win auto battle with electro and setup the lane for success, her ult is impossible to react pool, you have to predict it. Electrocute recommended but Phase Rush can be taken too.”
grebe1231 says “Start E. Despite her being melee, she out-trades you level one with her Q-auto doing more damage than your flamethrower. If the Akali plays properly, this is a tough matchup for you to kill her in. Instead, look to outshove her and make plays through roams and helping your jungler. ”
JR Lil Baby Boy says “Same with Akali . Try and harass her too but behind the minions and stay under tower !! An Akali player will then not resist and will roam .”
xenonau says “Assassins in general will be fairly tough for Brand to deal with, as you can't really match their roams. Dashes make it harder to land your full combo to proc passive, so try and bait them out.”
kimjisoo8 says “Skill matchup, but she outscales you and will all-in you at level 6. Also she is very mobile and hard to hit charm with. Try to bait a tower dive, charm her, and hopefully she dies.”
Johan Paracelso says “Akali is a skill match up. Her passive grants her an extra magic damage, so you must be careful while facing her, you can use your W to chunk her down, but remember, it cost a LOT of mana”
Dafioske says “Si gana una kill para ti te será imposible ganarle es un campeo demasiado fuerte y en todo aspecto te superó es mejor evitar ganarle solo y pedir ayuda a tu jungla y si le ganas no salga de torre y su jungla te permagankeara o ella gankear otra linea y se hace kills faciles”
Niqkl says “Akali is a very tough matchup for me personally. Invisibility to cancel your Q, a million dashes and at 6 she can literally 1-shot-combo you with ult if you make a mistake.”
Deathbat1 says “Akali is a very strong mid lanner and hard to kill, she can out lane you early but if you get good team mates and a good jungle you can survive late game.”
FalleN3 says “Akali is weak before level 6 and therefore should be abused as much as possible. You should be able to harass her with your AA a lot. When she goes in to last hit a minion you should be able to land some decent damage onto her.
Even if Akali uses her (W) Twilight Shroud you can still damage her with your (W) Incinerate and your (R) Tibbers
Be careful of ganks as this is a perfect way for Akali to get ahead of you!”
Sushi_Cat says “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. ”
PROJECT BZ says “Obnoxious to lane, has e to avoid WEQ damage, shroud to stall for time of Zed's shadow and ultimate. Can get prio over Zed because Akali has no fear to walk up towards a Zed. Not to mention she is AP so she can also go armguard just to make the lane even worse than it is.”
Snow Day Zoe says “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.”
Last Roar says “If you feed her you've lost. But you outrange her and can aa her off minions. Plus her shroud is useless against you. She's a sinner champ and only really good if she gets a lead. However, she will roam a lot, so try roam too.
/
/
/
Obj: Match her roams, poke her down to half hp in lane, then all in her.”
vCraze says “Akali is an even matchup with Xerath as you have the range advantage but she is still an assassin. You want to try to play safe while still poking her with your abilities. Make sure that you are not allowing her to lane free Qs on you in lane as she will gain MS and be able to chunk you out with her Passive Auto. You will be able to put more pressure on her once you hit your Last Chapter and especially Ludens but you always need to be playing safe and not walk too far away from tower as she has multiple dashes and a Shroud.”
OxiteoMyst says “Skill Matchup. Try and move forward and then back to bait her q's, poke her alot pre 6. After 6 like zed she can nuke you with damage, but phase rush should save you most of the time. DONT GET HIT BY HER E. If she R's you try to put your W in front of you and run into it, if she hits her e on you with the r second cast, you need to flash her r2. So try to use phase rush to dodge her E when she uses R. Don't get caught out alone.”
SkellyBirb says “Akali is quite mobile and can burst you down pretty fast. If she goes in on a shuriken, make sure to take advantage of it with your Elastic Slingshot to knock her up and not let her get a free trade.”
Elpatronchico says “A good Akali can be very dangerous.
Her Q's poke and her E potential can completely destroy you.
If she manages to kill you early, it will be very hard for you to stop her from becoming fed.
”
Spicy Evil says “Akali is very good in mid lane .
She can kill you at any time except when you are roam and get kills but akali is very very hard play against i would ban her but if you have a jgl dou you can fuck her up a litel bit .”
Sadkid says “Akali is gross. A good Akali who takes fleet + Doran's Shield is almost impossible to kill in lane. Build MR early and after 6 respect the hell out of her. Poke her out pre 6 and roam after she hits 6.”
Katfire says “Respect her lvl 1. Farm with Q from safety.
Do your best to always dodge her E.
Bait out her shroud with fake aggression then fight her when its down.
Even though you may be more fed than her do not underestimate Akali's damage.
If Akali has a good grasp on her champion she should always win. She can dodge your daggers effectively and is extremely difficult to 1 v 1.”
PedrinhoXD says “Akali is one of the easiest matchups, as you can easily avoid being in her Q range, and whenever she uses her smoke, you can run away from her with a gold card in hands in case she ults into you”
zee160 says “Basically the same thing as Katarina. Dodge her shuriken by always having your eye on her. I know it's hard to, almost impossible, but at least if it just lands on the ground, you have a better chance to R+W her, E to run, then Q. R+W, E then Q with most assassins are the best way to go.”
S4V4 says “If you're against Akali, you will have a rough time. All she has to do is spam her Q and she will just win the lane. There is no way for you to fight her because she can just go invisible with her W and spam her Qs and autoattacks. All you can do is sit back and farm until you outscale her.”
Crypper says “make sure that your E is open when she uses her shroud.
Kill her as much as you can, and then she will never be able to return to the game. But as long as you play with an advantage, you have to give your team an advantage as well. ”
DJKARAKO says “Needs safe play and to be careful till level 6 while you will have your ulty that you will use along with ignite. Maybe you could flash under turret after her E as an extra measure.”
Hqzz says “A good akali is a big threat however you can stop her with E + W. It is hard for her to engage you, but when she does she can easily kill you as long as she has her ult. Don't try to fight unless you can root and kill her, or you get a good gank. ”
MagicalFartz1 says “Electro with Ignite. Really easy matchup for Zoe. Akali can't do much against Zoe. All in her when she wastes her shroud or wastes her E pre 6. After 6 E backwards if she ults you. Care for her lvl 6 cheese she can 100-0 you.”
MartyBG says “Skill based matchup. Try to poke her a lot pre lvl 6. The window before lvl 6 is the only time you can try to EVER punish akali, after that you have to play passively, but still try to poke her down, but don't make risky plays.”
hickeyo says “Just know when she ults the first time it can get her out of your ult range. But also keep in mind when she first ults she can not escape the animation. That is an easy time to throw a Q. Follow her movement when she ults and she can not escape it.”
MINISE says “It actually depends but she is the lowest of the major (matchups) to spike up a Lucian, either respect e+ AA combo trades or aggro with ignite with the tear and use cull against her as well.”
Glaceonlol says “This is a skill match up,
if you win the lane you should be able to get a solo kill before she hits rift maker. However if you do not punish her in lane you will lose out right because she has mid game over you. However just make sure to harass and get a cs lead in mid and force her to try to roam shove her waves under tower and get plates.”
Arameria says “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!”
ZephD4C says “HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA this is so fucking easy. Legit just respect her level 1-2 and stomp her like it's nothing because all Akali players below diamond can't play the game. If she w's also, you have your e and q to catch her out so kek.”
economistastonks says “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. ”
KaAZu13 says “She aint no threat but wanted to add her cuz u can easily beat her on mid / top, just after she smokes just stay away for few seconds then jump right in / throw shrooms when she jumps at you, uses smokes so you can be safe from her while you are farming.”
Elpatronchico says “Akali is a hard mashup, she can easily kill you if you are in a bad position or if you do a misstep.
Try to poke her out and try to not die.
A fed akali is one of the worst things you can encounter.”
DrWindwall says “You can deal with but before lvl6. Once she hits lvl6 she can destroy literally anyone in lane. So you can deal with her if you play smart before she hits lvl6 and you should by all means forget your confidence after she gets lvl6 as you'll be done for good.”
Bobbab says “Akali's shroud is useless after level 6. If you have daggers in her shroud you can almost guaranteed hit her. Your ult targets her in shroud. Watch out for her level 6 all in and try to not get poked down by her Q+AA bursts.”
MetaKnight13373 says “If Akali E2s to you you can hit an easy guaranteed charm, however most Alkalis are familiar with this interaction and will avoid taking their E2s when you have charm up. ”
DixonTheGuideMaker says “Akali is very dangerous like most assassins. You have only time to poke her when she has no ultimate. Because her ult gives her great mobility and killing potential, so you need to play safe after she will get level 6. Take Barrier and use it together with your W - Surround Sound if you see that she is going to all-in”
Aukaren says “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!.”
Magical Rock says “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.”
neverwanted2be says “Akali vs Yone its all about micro skill, she can harass you with her "Q" but FF+Domination is a great choice here. U can "Q" her when she is trying to last hit and harras her with "W", dodge her 'Q" with FF stacks. ”
L3vy says “She have high survivabilty and two escapes ability from your all in : her W and her ult . If u could bait her smoke you can try to all in her ”
Raigiku says “She has a lot of push power and high mobility. The big problem is her high mobility and invisibility, you grenade is key in this matchup, if you miss it you are dead, but if you hit it with turrets she is dead. You can run exhaust against her and win easily.”
Grayified says “Akali has a strong engage and disengage. She is not a very easy lane to play against. Try to engage when you know Akali cannot use shroud to escape. Whenever Akali uses her E, try to fall back to turret so she cannot recast without taking turret damage.”
Slumberdork says “There are plenty of threats to this playstyle, however mobile assassins with way to dodge autos are the most volatile, You'll struggle to get grasp procks without being in danger, so I recommend taking a defence summoner into these matchups. Champs Like; Akali, Qiyana, Zed, Talon, Leblanc, or Diana are bad news.
”
TechyAndrew says “She is really good this season and will mostly win. If you need to fight just r when she is in shroud and possibly kill her, but early you lose.”
dDenzere says “Assasin items are so good, you can poke the hell out of her and try to force her E and you go back.
Shel will never catch you and u neither, need JG help.”
Nazrat says “Similliar to Diana and Ekko , Akali runs you down at level 6 with her R. Use your advantage early on and play safe after level 6. Late game you outscale so you are going to be much more useful than her.”
ItzJavAgain says “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”
ZeMoller says “Impossible to shove against this champ after lvl 6, since she will just jump on you and oneshot you when you push, she will also win sidelane. Setup freeze and either ask for jungle ganks or farm it out. mid and late game, catch sidewaves (kill the wave when its shoved to you and try to teamfight.”
KormitLeFrag says “You can harrass her until level 3. Save. Your. Q. If she misses her E, you can Q-W-AA her, otherwise hold your Q for if she dives on you.
Would not recommend trying to properly 1v1 her without first item or jungler, though.
You can R her after she ults and it'll push her into your tower.”
At0mikx458 says “She's really quick and can take really quick trade on you without you hitting her. The key is to all in when she miss so you can do a lot of damage.”
CrusaderChan1099 says “bait her e and dash to the tower with your e+w or e+flash+w, then spam your mastery. avoid 1v1 after lv 6 except if noticeably ahead.”
conginu says “if she's any good you will not hit her with any daggers, try to stay alive and roam on her. Or wait for teamfight to pop off. Engage on her if she missed E for a quick Q-E-W trade, and just E out after.”
Yeager says “Lots of harass with her kunais.
Her W can dodge all of your damage while she can constantly go in and out to poke you until you're low enough for her to all-in.
Avoid fighting her, and focus on farming with Q from a safe distance. If you coordinate with your jungler, you should bait out her W smoke before he ganks. ”
FalleN3 says “Pre 6, take advanatge of her weak early game. You need to try to zone her from her farm and deny her as many creeps as possible. Be sure to make good use of your ball and every time she comes up to last hit a minion, harass her. Once Akali turns level 6+ and gets her Hextech Gunblade the trouble begins. She has a crazy amount of sustain due to her passive and gunblade, morellonomicon can help you to reduce her healing ability. As with any assassin, she will try to burst you down quickly and having some extra health can help you to survive this. ROA is a solid choice and Barrier as your second summoner spell. Be mindful of her roaming to other lanes for kills!”
Veigarv2 says “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.”
Lunasta says “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”
TheCatOfCheshire says “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.”
SkellyBirb says “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.”
Frixen says “Akali is a minor threat that can potentially be a major threat if played wrong. Always use your supreme range against Akali, poke her out, don't let her farm, and keep your gold card whenever she has 6 or bought items, because she will try to all in you. Her all in is extremely strong, so unless you play it right, you're a dead man. Akali is also not very much of a threat, because she can't roam against Twisted Fate due to his ultimate, and her bread and butter is her roams.”
Bouhhsolene says “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.”
FalleN3 says “You are both assassins so this is really a skill matchup. She will try to [Q] you every time you go to last hit minions but do not forget that she is weak pre 6 so try to abuse this. Once you hit level 3 it is possible for you to win trades against her and burst her down. Try to get ahead of her early and continue to snowball. I like to keep a pink ward for skirmishes with her but I rarely see others do this anymore. Use the pink ward for her shroud only when you are all-in on her (with jungler help) if possible. After level 6, it's possible for you to burst each-other down.”
ScraftyDraco says “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.”
Faithyatta says “Akali beats you up essentially until you get items. Build [icon=Rod of Ages size=30] RoA if you aren't beating her up earlier on in lane, and can afford it, for extra HP + scaling. You outscale her, so as long as you aren't getting stomped in laning, you should be able to win against her.”
Ambience14 says “Akali is difficult to land a Q on and can easily escape ganks. She can kill you, but only if you overcommit and play poorly. Most of her advantages against Mundo are simply her ability to escape. Versus most good Akali players, you won't kill her and she won't kill you. When she uses shroud to juke you out, walk around the middle with W on. This will reveal her location and pressure her to leave her shroud. If she uses E and R offensively, hit ult and run her down for an easy kill.”
Reason97 says “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. ”
BloooodTV says “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.”
shadowiyce says “*Make sure you keep a distance against Akali as she can engage with Q, passive auto(Additional range), Q, and disengage safely.
*Pre-level 3, you should stay behind your caster minions (ranged minions) and lane safe with Q farming. ”
TuvecinoPoke says “This match up is hard because she can dodge your abilities and if you try to poke her, she will heal sherself thanks to Fleet Footwork.”
arcanejhin says “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.”
Fadedreformed says “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. ”
DaggerTV_ says “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”
ShockMaster says “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”
Yuki H. says “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. ”
Crewozz says “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.”
Proma says “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.”
Fyir says “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.
”
Chiefsnake says “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.”
AbhorRend says “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”
Veralion says “HoB/DH/Beads. FINALLY she's been hit in a significant way. Her R1 now must be target-cast on a champion, so she lost one of her on-demand dashes and her engage range is significantly shorter. Her Q also cannot be spammed as much early, making the lane much less oppressive. Akali has the highest skill ceiling on the game; a good one will eat you and your team alive and there's nothing you can do about it. A bad one will do nothing and feed though, so you shouldn't have much to worry about playing into her until Diamond. You can take her Q all day long and get the health back, but her passive if shroud comboed properly will chunk you out of lane. Get a cs, take her Q, back off with W and Fleet's speed bonus, repeat. Farm safe and try to chip her down. At 6, don’t ult in if her shroud is off CD. She’ll slaughter you if she shroud combos properly and lands both ult hits, which with how ridiculously mobile she is is almost guaranteed. Instead, ult in place and poke her down unless she wastes shroud for some reason. Keep her on the back foot so that she’s too nervous to go all in on you or roam, which is where her real threat lies. E covers a good portion of her shroud so you have a good shot of chunking her while she hides. If she wastes shroud for some reason, feel free to tackle and nom her at your convenience. It will take an eternity to come back up. Make sure you dont ult over her so she can R1 through you to safety. BEWARE once she has Gunblade. She can engage and kill you from full in three seconds flat from over 1500 range away once she has that item.”
Bartoos says “You destroy her early on as she can't get close enough to you to kill you. Poke her out of lane as much as you can and delay her 1 item powerspike (gunblade). After that she can kill you with ease so be careful with that. If she dashes to you try to push her away and run.”
Its DiGiorno says “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. ”
Nodon says “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 ”
undarsito says “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”
RikudouDovahkiin says “Somewhat a challenging duel against experienced Akali, but Vladimir can out-sustain and win the trades, when we consider early game, bait her Q and heal the damage, she will usually try to leap with W, avoid getting hit by Mark + AA combo because it deals really a dangerous damage even at the level of 2. Her items are obvious, she can make a good use of some of her items, yet if you do not build any MR, avoiding her damage in team fights can be such trouble. In lane you shall focus on outwitting and winning little trades, you can use your E to reveal her in the shadows, or even get the kill. Make sure you don't basically fall behind, care for enemy jungler and you shall be OK in 1v1, she has some click-on skills, not a very-high skill cap and match-up itself favours you in some moves, situations. Use them to kill her, she is relatively a tanky mage Ignite + R can be useful when she hits low on HP.”
TaxEvasion says “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”
UndoRedo says “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”
ai darkfluid says “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”
Zailent says “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.”
Zoe Sparklepop says “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.”
Iruminati says “win against Akali is quite complicated because she can burst more than you and can easily dodge your spells.
If you play against Akali, you can try to fight her pre-6 thanks to your AA and conqueror.
Try to force her to use her invisibility and re-engage her right after.
Gagner contre Akali est assez compliqué vu qu'elle burst plus que vous et peut facilement s’échapper de vos sorts. vous pouvez quand même tenter des moves en la forcant a utiliser son invisibilité et en fightant quand elle ne l'a plus.
De plus, vous pouvez essayer de la tuer en early game grace a vos combos et vos reset d'attaque.”
ThatOneKatMain says “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.”
AlolanFairy says “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.”
snukumz says “Pretty easy in lane since you out range her, but you can't really poke her out due to her sustain.
You can kill her with your combo, your ult semi-reveals her when she's in shroud form.
She's a major threat because she mega dunks you once she gets items and there's almost nothing you can do about it, except hit zhonya's really fast and hope you teammates can punish her for diving you. She's very frustrating to play against in the late game since she 100-0's you instantly, even if you have banshee's/zhonyas.
Consider skipping Rabadon's and getting morello's and liandries for the extra HP when playing against her.”
PG Venom says “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.”
cayden says “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”
1256 says “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”
nguyenbautroi says “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.”
AZIR MEN says “Lane can be very easy, but very skill dependent. Poke her as much as possible. Respect her when she uses shroud, like walk away for a few seconds. 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.”
Pentakai says “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.”
LightningTemplar says “With additional nerfs to Akali, perhaps we now have a slight possibility of not getting demolished in lane. In lane, as long as she has energy up, keep a safe distance and avoid getting hit by her Qs. Farm with Q and from lvl 3 play more aggresive. Post 6 you'll often want to R before using W, since it is an important gap closer for when she uses her R. Her shroud also makes it really hard to hit her, either waiting for its cd or getting an oracle lens might be handy. ”
Ghostwalker562 says “The thing is she's easy to kill, the other thing is if she's a good akali she will dash away right when you almost hit her. 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.”
KitsyMamori says “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.”
only yasuo play says “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.”
Art1val says “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.”
Zwengo says “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. ”
huynhlinhquyhoa says “Let her use W first, your W will kill her easily.
Akali is one of those champ that can outplay you easily but since your Malzahar you still win the game. You impact in the game is a lot more important than her's. She's good at roaming and you're good at punishing roamers by getting the first tower. Her W will piss you of, but don't be affraid you only have to play safe until it's wasted and she dies. However, her mobility is against you. If you get hit by her E, you'll die quick. If you dodge it, she looses half her damage.”
Ekko Rush B Guides says “Akali is a hard matchup. She has much lane sustain with her passive and will always poke you with her Q. Her W will also fuck up any attempt to trade with her, because of her invisibility. You dumpster her pre-6, at least when she doesn't have W up, because you simply have more damage early on. Once she has Gunblade, do not fight with her. You will wonder how fast she can one-shot you before you even thought about using your ultimate.”
lRusu says “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.”
evilforreal says “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.”
MaxskeProductions says “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.”
Liouss3 says “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”
henxs says “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.”
Gageowago says “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.”
BigFatCat909 says “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.”
ROENsp says “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.”
Canofsteak says “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”
ZombieZack1 says “Akali has some Strengths against Lux but Mostly Lux will win in this Scenario, Akali keeps Getting Nerfed or Buffed so this is Situational”
Lil Tidepod says “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.”
Fhizzikx says “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.”
Capparelli says “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”
zeno smurfer says “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.”
EzYasuoMain says “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.”
BigBushMan says “Personal favorite for permabanning. Despite her being at a range disadvantage, if she gets within 2 ft of you post-6 you are dead. Freeze the wave under your turret and ask jungle for a gank. You can outscale her as long as she isn't able to roam to side lanes to kill. Be sure to take Exhaust”
ahrienthusiastmain says “You have the range advantage and need to freeze the wave. It's much harder for her to land her E when you can just hide behind your minions near your tower. Her E is also a straight trajectory so that's a guaranteed charm. In her shroud, her movement speed increases, so you have to back off. She can kill you with her ulti, but you win trades if land your charm.”
I main support says “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.”
MartinMorningstar says “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. ”
serruh says “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.”
Miandros says “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.”
Malmortious says “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.”
Kami_EU says “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.”
kujosrevenge says “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.”
BabyTwisty says “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.”
Honey_drops says “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.”
Honey_drops says “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. ”
t3rminated says “This karate girl is gonna start hopping EVERYWHERE. She has insane mobility so she can escape your entire combo. Tossing a smoke would deny your combo as you can't be sure where she is walking. Her ult and E can boost her away from your R and knockup. If you ever miss your E, you are DEAD. It is really hard to land skillshots on her and she will dash on you everywhere. Just farm and play safe and hope for ganks. I put this in major rather than extreme because of the Akali nerfs that are coming up. With less mobility, Akali should be a way easier matchup. I can't say this for certain though, so I still put her in major. ”
ur_mom_gay says “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.”
MixupMatty says “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”
Akhi Syhno says “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.”
theboywhodominatedaplat says “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 ”
Sloyr says “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.”
Yas Yasu Yasuo says “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.”
Eccentricks says “Despite her being dogshit right now, Akali is a bit of a tough one.
Hold your E1 to dodge her shurikens, and then look for a opening to put the hurt back onto her.
Try not to stand to close to the wave to avoid her kunais and look for when she steps up to punish with Q1 & 2.
And one last thing, try not to hook when she goes invis, you will usually miss. It's worth an attempt if its up and you've used E1 already, given it wouldn't put you in danger.”
Gogicha55 says “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”
E_IS_POWER says “Reworked Akali is also a quite difficult matchup because she's able to spam her Q's on you, and dissappear with smoke bomb when you're engaging. You have to bait her Q's by walking in and out, and try farm with your Q. You can also "fake" a engage in order to make her use her smoke bomb, and then you can all-in her. Be sure you have a minion wave around you when you're fighting, so you can dash around and make it much harder for her to hit her ultimate as both charges are skillshots. Take oracle lens after the laning phase. It won't reveal her, but it will show where she's going so you can still hit her with Q's.”
8wolf says “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.”
MrRiots says “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.”
Gettsuu says “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”
Tehqo says “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.”
NebuIa says “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.”
Je Suis Azir says “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.”
Spongecakesuprem says “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.”
TheSpark says “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.”
Tartertoot says “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.”
Impswitch says “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.”
cobbzy says “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. ”
matijez says “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
”
GESTAPOisHERE says “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.”
CupOLatte says “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.”
charlton says “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.”
stupid katarina says “(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.”
LONERlSM says “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.”
DravensBukkake says “Barrier matchup.
When I say barrier, I'm not really saying Akali beats Azir, but rather Akali is just too fucking slippery for you to kill her. Harass her early, walk back if she uses shroud. Shroud has a very long cd (20+s) so when she uses it, make a mental note for the next 20 seconds, you can play agro and setup soldiers aggressively. If she lands her E on you, E Q back into your turret and meme her own play by making her tank turret shots. Try to use ult when she's E'ing in, or after her first ult charge. Remember, you can also ult her out of her shroud. Otherwise, not a difficult matchup, but an annoying one. You can outshove her and you'll usually have priority for fights and roams.”
Mid Win Repeat says “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.”
SupaSnor says “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.”
MarkeleleYasuo says “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”
Marumo says “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. ”
LOLVan says “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".”
Claves says “Level 1 Akali heavily out damages you.
Level 2, you out damage her if she takes shroud. If she takes shuriken she'll win any trades.
Level 3 and beyond is a skill matchup, typically if she shrouds the trade will be favored to her so bait it out before fighting her or immediately disengage if she uses it in the middle of a trade.
Post 6, you can ult in the middle of her shroud and it'll still hit her, giving you a large advantage, as if she stands in your ult she'll take very heavy damage if she doesn't have the items to burst you down herself.”
Toyejo says “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).”
Sakaya says “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.”
Cloud375 says “Ok, so the new Akali is VERY different from the old Akali. She can now dash towards you a lot early game, which is a very bad thing. However, you can easily harass her with your Q in the very beginning of the game, but once she has her ultimate available, BACK OFF! On a side note, when Akali uses her shroud, if you used your Q before she enters her shroud, then your Q will always land unless they use stopwatch/zhonyas/etc, in which case it will miss. If she builds her items before you, she wins, otherwise, it's a skill matchup until lategame. Late game, you should be able to waste her if you use your ultimate. But all in all, until she has her dashes, deal damage to her when possible without getting too close!”
Tayna says “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. ”
IceBite says “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.”
Garybaldo says “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”
Sneaky boi says “ 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.”
wrinkle_juice says “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.”
YoussefJoe says “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 ”
worddog says “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.”
Noirubilac says “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)”
baldmidget says “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”
Hi Im Zoky says “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!”
Euphoric Toaster says “This matchup used to be much worse before Akali got nerfed, but its more manageable now. Her
Twilight Shroud (which makes your turrets unable to target her) is annoying, and her multiple dashes can make her hard to lock down. If she ever follows her Shuriken Flip you can get an easy stun on her as shes locked into the animation. If she ever gets low and hides in her cloud, you have 2 AoE abilities that can hit her and finish her off. She also has to get very close to use her Q and Passive so that can give you opportunists to land easier stuns.”
J Husky says “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.”
Chromuro says “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.”
Big Shawn says “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.”
Big Shawn says “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.”
Fox1ne says “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.”
Flimshady says “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.”
DVL CHALLNGR says “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”
Patoxic says “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.”
MrxHudsy says “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”
OnlyCheeseBreads says “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.”
KingKongca says “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.”
I Do Not Flame says “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.”
Massive Nuts says “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.”
schulti012 says “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.”
Vispectra says “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.”
Zero Two says “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.”
PizzaMarine says “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. ”
talonmains says “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.”
SepekuAW says “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!”
Tempester says “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.”
KaktusHraje08 says “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 ”
Pumparum says “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.”
ClemexD10 says “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.”
Zeprius says “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”
Skillerina says “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.”
unownreality says “Gap closers and a huge burst potential. She has one fatal flaw, which is her squishiness. Wait for her to use shroud before you zone off with singularity. If you hit a q, she does have some healing which can possibly defend against a burst death so be wary of that. ”
kilgta says “Do not out shove or do not go far in lane when both of you are full hp. She will 1 shot you if you overextend. Use wards to not get ganked. Wave management is key. Your ult denies her being a hoe in her clouds so have fun countering her.
start corrupt.”
MechaaZero says “Simple and straight. The rework made this alot easier than before; if she lands an E on you, she LITERALLY runs in a straight line right to you. If you have your E up and aren't trigger happy, then this match up will be in your favor.”
CC Diana says “Akali has much more outplay potential compared to her previous iteration. Akali's level 2 burst is quite strong since she can do combos such as E (backwards) -> Q -> AA which results in an instant passive proc or Q -> E -> E -> AA. This is a matchup where I would recommend taking E ( Moonfall) at level 3 instead of level 4 simply because you can use it to pull her out of her shroud assuming you are standing right in the center of it. Just treat Akali's shroud like Katarina's ultimate Death Lotus. Save your E for when they use those abilities to nullify their effects.”
maplecat21 says “A good akali is a threat, but even then, your ult kinda screws her over, so it's not that bad. She doesn't heal off of Q anymore either, so you can poke her down with E. Save Q for when she goes onto you.”
Boy0Champ says “Reworked Akali is also a quite difficult matchup because she's able to spam her Q's on you, and dissappear with smoke bomb when you're engaging. You have to bait her Q's by walking in and out, and try farm with your Q. You can also "fake" a engage in order to make her use her smoke bomb, and then you can all-in her. Be sure you have a minion wave around you when you're fighting, so you can dash around and make it much harder for her to hit her ultimate as both charges are skillshots. Take oracle lens after the laning phase. It won't reveal her, but it will show where she's going so you can still hit her with Q's.”
Altis says “All-in champs are definitely your biggest problem as Zoe, if you miss your E that it. Akali is dangerous because when she comes for you, you can't see her. Though she is quite predictable, so just wait for the right time to E her and punish. Otherwise stay safe.”
RagexAddict says “Another skill matchup for Fizz. Akali can be rough to deal with in lane, due to her energy resource and not having to worry too much about lane sustain. Your saving grace is that she is also a melee champ. So in order for her to CS, she has to put herself in harm's way. If she ever spams her Q twice in a row, go in on her, because she will be very vulnerable to a counter attack.”
hadi902 says “most people think she is a hard match-up but actually she is pretty easy you can easily counter her by letting her land her E and then you dash back to the turret so she gets stunned when she pushes then you hook her to the turret even more and she will be pretty much dead. ”
Vombat says “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”
SrSuders says “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.”
Yegie says “She is melee so a lot of potential poke from your E's passive. Her smoke cloud is very annoying, but when its down you have the advantage. One trick you can do when near tower is let her hit her E then W under tower after she starts her dash. A good akali probably won't fall for this.”
LyndonK9 says “Akali is pretty annoying because she wins trades easily, and doesn't have mana. It's pretty obvious when she tries to Q you as it doesn't have a lot of range so keep a good distance. One trick to know is keep a little more distance than her Q range and Q her back, because for a short duration after using your Q, you will be stood still. keeping out of range of her Q, and still getting yours off. When her passive is up walk away. If she uses her second part of her e on you, you can charm her, but most Akali's aren't dumb enough to do that. When she shrouds it's possible to quickly charm her if you can guess where she is. Do your best to farm and follow when she roams.”
Nightshade17 says “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.”
BenLegend443 says “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.”
SkyLaws says “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.”
borsamalac says “Hate play vs her , before lv6 u have small chance to get cs lead but if she starts with dorans shield u will just waste your mana. Try to free auto her when she wants to farm. Best way is stay under tower and farm. At lv6 u have no chance , ask for jungler help and roam botlane with package. If u farm under tower just put controll ward+ normal wards on river. U will know if akali wants to roam(possibly botlane) or just stand on brush and waiting for you. If she moves botlane just ping it in time and pray your botlane doesnt overstay and give her free kills. If she waste her times to gank sidalanes and u can farm Trinity safty its a win-win situation. Just ping every time she is missing(common mistake when u try to farm under tower u dont realize she is going side lane) and put down wards for good spots. ”
Yenwai says “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.”
Ec40494 says “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. ”
Bughans says “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.”
QuickChicken says “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.”
Helnakensbrorsa says “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. ”
Swift_Trapper says “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.”
Charon25 says “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.”
T3rrabyte says “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.”
NescEI says “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”
BoopForTheTroops says “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.”
Default Ryze says “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.”
CharmingFeather says “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.”
aButteredPoptart says “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.”
chillin kenshi says “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”
SmokeyEggs says “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.”
ryze4thewin says “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 ”
BicBee says “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. ”
BicBee says “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. ”
AzureArmatt says “New Akali is really easy to play against in lane but when she gets her items she can become a trouble. With her new kit Akali players tend to rely on her obscure mechanic that her smoke bomb provides to tower dive you while having really easy time to run away. Little they know that when they follow their mark after you get hit by shuriken they still can get hit by spells and your charm too so wait until they get close and charm them so they won't be able to use shroud after dash (only safety tool). Poking her and dealing short bursts of damage will give you best results before going in for the kill since her sustain with Q isn't enough to heal her back. On low HP watch out for execute ability her ultimate provides since it can execute for really big amount when she put 2 points into it. Don't fight when she's in shroud, she has advantage while in it (also can't really hit her because of obscure mechanic) but besides that it's easy match up where Ahri has big advantage.”
ninjashmon2 says “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.”
ninjashmon2 says “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.”
Hatzo1vs9 says “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 .
”
ninjashmon2 says “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.”
Bestlover says “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.
”
OmegaSquadVeigar says “This matchup isn't necessarily hard but it's INCREDIBLY annoying to deal with.
Through levels 1 and 2 try to poke her for every cs she tries to take (an auto or auto q auto for the electrocute proc). Try to freeze it closer to your tower so you can farm safely after she gets lvl 3 and be at less of a risk after lvl 6.
What you shouldn't do is ever try to trade with her in her shroud, just walk away and wait for it to time out, then you can try to get some free autos and q's.
If she hits her E on you, wait like 1 second to see if she immediately follows it (if she does drop your cage so that the edge of it is just right under your feet). If she doesn't, just wait cautiously prepared to drop the cage.
If you ever waste your cage and she's close enough to land the first part of her R and she does it, Flash instantly and try to dodge the E, if you don't.... Well, you're dead unless she's really behind and you've got MR.
In the mid game and late game this matchup is easy, again, as long as you don't waste your cage you should be able to burst her down with GLP W Q if she doesn't have her Banshee's up and she doesn't dodge them. (Zhonya's is a death sentence for her late game due to W Q having ~2 sec cd).”
Shaawn says “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.”
thedonk says “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.”
Padrepio says “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.”
Valor_Chaos says “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”
overweight_zoe says “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.”
Jenkinsu says “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.”
Zaradine says “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”
Eli The Bat says “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....”
LuxIsMyCrush says “matching against akali can go even very good or horrible, if she is a good akali you will had a very hard time, try to poke her as much as possible and be careful to always dodge her E, when she get in her W u can basically cover her with your E to damage her more, and maybe force her to retreat from that zone”
apsonalol says “Akali é uma match up muito complicada por que as skill da sona precisa de target e quando ela entra na fumaça fica impossível você fazer qualquer tipo de coisa, o melhor a se fazer nesse caso é rushar zhonya o mais rápido possível e tentar intervir nos roaming dela, entregue a lane phase mas sempre preste atenção pra ultar ela em team fights ou se você tiver noção tentar prever os pick off que ela pode querer fazer.”
MaybeHope says “Akali is not that hard to play against. You can bully her in the early game and use Mantra Q when she is in her W. You will most likely hit her when you aim in the middle. Since you have selfpeel and cc she will most likely not be a threat to you. And besides that you are the one who outscales her. At teamfights you just peel for the one she is ulting”
undeadsoldiers says “Akali is a decent counter aswell.Especially after her W changes with that blink it is so easy to dodge charm.She has insane burst sustain with gunblade and passive which kinda problematic for Ahri since she doesn't want to all in without poking her target a little bit and most importantly Akali is one of the few champs who can keep up with ahri's mobility.I always pick Akali and destroy Ahri if the enemy picks her before.”
moutenn says “ She should be an ok easy kill pre 6. After you cant really kill her unless she is the one who engages. If you open with r, she will use her shroud. You can try and predict, but she will most likely just wait in her w till deathmark has popped. One good thing is that there is a chance that she will buy Hourglass later. Which is good. Lategame there is a big chance that she will engage. If this is the case - go ahead and kill her. BTW you cant do anything ti reveal her. She is invisible, so you can do nothing unless you are under tower. Or have kleptomancy - for some reason. (DONT HAVE KLEPTOMANCY)”
qasddsa says “You can dodge her ultimate with Riftwalk and can just wait out her shroud. In lane, she's relatively easy to deal with by just poking with Null Sphere and maxing Force Pulse. Outside of her shroud, she's extremely easy to burst down with a stacked Riftwalk and full spell rotation.”
WhiteSheepz says “Akali is an assassin this is usually always a threat to Xerath as she can dash towards you and get up close meaning your range means very little, as Xerath fire a W or a Q into her smokescreen as even though you cannot see it you will likely hit her and deal damage forcing her to not risk going in on you. Try to poke her and stun her whenever she dashes towards you.”
Skeptil says “This match up is a hit or miss. If you can kill her pre-6, then you'll have an easy time winning. If you aren't able to kill her pre-6, she is able to all in you if she baits out your Sanguine Pool. Just rely on baiting out her W and then harassing her with Transfusion.”
Draczor says “Unwinnable, Akali is just too strong and there is no real way to counter her. She's got great sustain and getting too close to her will let her deal at most 2 Q's and one AA that will leave you with half HP. Try to not stay in range of her Q and get hit by her Shuriken. If she got's ultimate you definitely do not want to be too deep in lane cause she will just straight up kill you. Luckily she get's banned most of the time but if not and you end up facing her in the lane, try to farm up and not die.”
Dralexus says “Akali is most of the time my MUST ban. As AP Malphite you rely on poking up to lvl 6 and then going all in as they are half or less health. With Akali this is hard, she can heal easily over time and can just hide in her smoke to deny you Q/W and even ignite. ”
MarkoLivaja says “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. ”
Felispo says “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.”
TruMediaMix1 says “Like Zed, Akali is very difficult to play against if you don't have experience playing against her. She can deploy a smoke bomb that makes her invisible even to turrets. Play very carefully if Akali is your lane opponent - or you could potentially be this monster's meal needed to feed her.”
Andicus says “Mostly 50/50 depending on skill but you can beat Akali fairly easily. She will most likely wait for you to ult before using her shroud so try to bait it out before going in on her. You can find where she is if you hit her in the shroud with your E. After you do that you could Q where she was/will be. If you aren't confident in guessing where she will be after you spot her with your E, you can wait until the shroud is gone. Though, your ult will be gone by then. ”
rimzaki says “U can hit her even he in twilight pool with ur E R and W She has sustain but not like bloodlord If she be level 6 u must save ur sanguine pool for hers ultimate u can rape her easily cuz he hasnt basic attack rage like u”
Sozzoh says “Akali is scary post-6. Pre 6, you'll want to try and abuse her in lane if you can. Still be careful, because she has some damage. She can dash over your ult, so don't even try it. Roaming for kills is ideal in this matchup to gain a lead from there instead. Don't waste your Q, or else she'll all in you.”
Superior current says “Your poke is able to surpass her sustain early, but be mindful of ganks, avoid her shroud and after she reaches level 6 play passive.”
Katapullt says “Open with E+W. Like that you will still hit her when she uses W. Use your AA and your auto reset. You can use your R when she is invisible. Her Q is no problem but dont let her AA after.
Get a Dorans Shield so you can trade Q's with her.”
Witwickies says “The biggest problem while playing against Akali is fact, that plants, Zyra's main damage source, doesn't target Akali while she is inside cloud created by her W. As Zyra is very squishy, you can not let her come close to you.”
Doctor_Dr says “How to counter: Cage her shroud so she can't escape well. If she uses her E to dash to you, counter it by putting a cage in front of you to make an escape.”
undeadsoldiers says “She can be a pain in the ass. You have to make sure you can land your Q when she goes in on you with E. She will W after it so just get away from her. The heal on her Q is insane and so is the damage, so avoid it. Try to deny and zone her cs with autos.”
ZF.PandaYang says “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.”
WubbyWulf says “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.”
ctt13 says “Akali is incredibly strong right now. You win Level 1 and 2, but lose incredibly hard as soon as she gets gunblade. If the Akali knows how to play the champ she will win most trades as you have no answer to her shroud.”
wo xiang zhaoo says “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.”
Kaeze Poulsen says “Akali's high mobility and extreme burst is a no-go against ASol.
Actually, she sould be banned on your match eather way.
You can roam and help others on your team while she does not have that much roam potential. But you can take Barrier or Exhaust to mitigate a little bit her burst.”
Death71 says “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”
AQRC Turtle says “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 ”
Cheddar Soup says “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.”
asffg123 says “With the newest update, Akali is a lot more vulnerable pre-6 and has short range. You can abuse this with your ranged auto attacks and spells. She has no way to counter your E, and has no burst unless she hits you with a shuriken. Once she hits 6 though, she will gain a power spike. You are likely to have an equal laning phase.
Warning - This champion can and will roam to counter a safe playstyle. Ping accordingly.”
DuhBrandon says “Probably your worst nightmare to go up against and that's all because of akali's W that being reason why she is perma banned in high elo right now. as an akali main all I can say is if she uses her shroud go under tower and try and bait her with your yellow card because if she tries and attack you you can stun her in the short time she reveals herself hopefully enough for the shroud to run out and hit her with that beefy punish. if she hits you with her e go under tower. if she hits you with her E and you have half health and she has her shroud and ignite just accept your death.”
Canttouchthis123 says “If you go even or get a lead on her your should be fine. If you give fb or she makes a good roam play you may be f*****. Diana has no escape abilities except maybe to raptors or scuttle. Her shroud will allow her to wait out your aftershock. I'd suggest skipping nashors against her and going straight for zhonas or lich bane since you wont be able to auto attack her much.”
Sadmanv2 says “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.”
Arcuzz says “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.
”
BattleXD says “Cassiopeia does good against Akali if you respect her shroud and damage. early game you do way better then her because of your range and because you can stop her E with you W. After she gets R though its a different story. if she engages with her R try to R her so you stop the rest of her bust and cant get executed by the second proc of the R.
Early game just poke when she is poisoned and try not getting hit back this is kinda simple because she isn't that ranged. ”
Smol Jelly says “New Akali is a skill match-up personally. Since all of your abilities are skillshots, you can hit her even in her shroud. Her E's second cast is a linear dash right at you, so you can easily stop it and burst her. The trick against her is to be reactionary, but try to zone her out when you can.”
ARagingSir says “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.”
Resl says “Unless you have Cataracts, you can kill her, your w will counter her w, making her escape, if she engage, ult and fight, pre-6, harass and don't kill as she can kill you and snowball”
T00thless says “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.”
