DISCIPLINE OF FORCE: Akali's basic attacks deal 6% (+1% per 6 AP) of her attack damage as bonus magic damage. DISCIPLINE OF MIGHT: Akali has a natural 6% (+1% per 6 bonus AD) spell vamp.
Is it her passive that she's so OP or is it because of her spammable R's?
Decrit2 votesIt' s not OP, but it has an hyperscaling effect that makes her deal tons of damage if properly geared and allows hero to recover a lot of HP if she managed to deal damage, and coupled with the rest of her kit can cause not pleasant situations. This means that is a passive skill closely tied to the amount of items you have, and if left to starve she can' t do very much in games ( even if in most of cases an hextech gunblade is enough).
This, coupled to her R, the stealth and the other skills allows her to faceroll the keyboard in 1v1 situation and kill an enemy even with low health ( as now a bit less, since the shroud does no more give free defensive stats) and to insta-shot most of targets, since most of the skills are damage-focused. There is a really low skill cap with her since there are few creative ways to use her skill, shroud and ultimate ( most of time revolving around gaining time or making reckless assaults so spell vamp can proc) are the only one that requires a tactical decision over the fight.
You can make only few things against her: starve her in lane, oppressing her before she hits 6 ( and still a good akali player can gank othe rlanes afer that); asking the support to get an aegis so everyone has a base mr; having CC's that can be effectively used in a very few sec interval, when she dashes to an enemy ( not counting situation where she is picked off-guard, obviously) so she can be focused freely and save her victim.
Consider, I play Zyra support and many times i have dealt with Akalis in mid-late game while i roamed, killing them or making them lose time/being less effective, and no matter how much the player was skilled in every case i encountred, akali can' t allow skill expression too much and are all pretty much the same.
Leti the Yeti2 votesher passive, eh not really OP
sure it help her go from 2 hp to full hp while kicking your ass WTF THAT SPELL VAMP IS BULLSHIT
I mean she doesnt auto attack very often so half of its kinda not needed anyway
Tupptupp XD2 votesjust play wukong mid and akali won't be a problem anymore :P
psst that's my secret akali counter.
Knight SoIaire 1 votesthen you get rekt by a jungler and it backfires because you need that farm more than she does so you will push the lane and allow enemy jungler to get you
psss thats my secret counter to stupid picks on midlane
oh and we forgot that our team is now mostly meele without real assasin nor a mage so you can get easily blown up by poke or a tanky guy who holds you down
Nauthes2 votesI personally think her spammable point and click ult is the more annoying issue. But she is in a better place now that she isn't unkillable while in her shroud.
Her bonus defenses while in the shroud made her crazy strong, now that that is gone she isn't too horrible.

I agree, I mean her ult gives her a reset within every assit/kill which I find it OP but overall I don't find her to be that big of a nuisance
Revan Sulli1 votesIf she was OP, her pick rate would be skyrocketing.
You just need to learn her counters.
Leti the Yeti3 votesidk, maybe she would be played more if she didnt have like a 50% ban rate
Junkο1 votesShe has like 10% less pick/ban rate than Zed
Knight SoIaire 1 voteskassadin was op before nerfs
his pickrate didnt exceed 2 % if im correct
or maybe it was 5%
rek sai is op his pickrate is a meere 12%
popular picks arent op, they are stable
Giovarco1 votesI just think that DISCIPLINE OF MIGHT is brainless on her, as she has point-and-click single-target burst. Besides, she often build 
. NOt saying she's OP because is easily countered, but burst + sustain isn't an healthy mechanics.
TwoD1 votesAkali is overpowered, you can have half a brain and do good as her.
Junkο1 votesHer passive should go back to needing a restriciton
