Is Akali Still Viable as a Tank?

Just curious on the general consensus here!

A few patches ago, item 3065 item 3068 item 3748 seemed to be the core build for Akali in the top lane. Since various nerfs, this build seems to have fallen out of favor.

I suppose my question is two-fold:

  1. Is the above build still viable (albeit less strong than before)?
  2. If not, then is there a viable tank or bruiser build for Akali at the moment? Or is she better played strictly as an AP assassin now?

Yes, she is still viable as a tank or even bruiser.

Tank Akali still works, don't worry.

If you feel like it's weak, you could just play tanky AP Akali. item 3001 item 3068 item 3146 item 3065
