Just me or does it feel wrong that akali is gibbing me in the blink of an eye with 92 ap?

I am really tired of these champs that have such absurd dmg, get to apply it nearly instantly, and are given insane gap closers. sustain options, and safety all built with in their kit.

I just had a game jungle akali not even fed, insta gib me check after wards she has 92 ap lol she was not loaded up with jungle buffs either. We are both level 10. I mean shouldnt a kit like her have LOW dmg and force her to look for targets of opportunity aka champs with 75% or less hp? and even then shouldnt she have to blow it all to take them down so fast?

I really don't get it what is the point of playing this game, or the game itself if a certain segment of champs literalyl press 3 buttons and kill others? Like that isnt even gameplay, I dont care if your "archtype" is assasin, because i dont pick an archtype called "victim. Don't tell me to build defensive items because the assassin dont either. If we are same level have same gold and stand off and land everything shouldnt it essentially both die at the same time? why is it not that way? Instead talon or zed or akali or fishboy just press a few buttons you vaporize and they are almost untouched...while you are dead. Yet everything else at that point was dead even level gold etc...

This isn't even mathematically possible.

At level 10 the lowest base HP any champ has is Anivia with 1009, she has 52 armour and 30 MR.

At level 10 Akali's spell rotation deals 440+(170% AP)+(60% AD) mixed damage

With 92 AP, base AD and sorc shoes while you are running 0 defence she will deal

  • 360+129=489 Raw magic damage
  • 489*0.8696(damage multiplier for 15 MR)=425 magic damage
  • 80+50+28=158 raw physical damage
  • 158*0.6579=104 physical damage
  • 425+104=529 total damage, or around 50% of your HP as the squishiest champ in the game.

So no, she didn't insta-gib you. There are a few things that could have happened here. You were already somewhat low and she just finished you off, in which case any assassin and most mages would do the same. Or alternatively she landed a Q on you and you didn't give her respect and back off a few seconds after she landed it and she double proced a Q on you, leaving you at around 25% from full and allowing her to easily chase you down.

Yeah anyone who plays akali knows that didn't actually happen

Akali has pretty low burst in one rotation of spells compared to other assassins. And the only way that she would be able to do that is if she were fed. And her full combo that procs 2 q's takes more than 4 seconds. So you're just a liar trying to make akali look worse than she is

it's pretty commonly accepted that akali is a problem right now

She is honestly too strong. You do not have to build any cooldown reduction while on other assassins you do. This opens up full offensive or defensive build such as rylais or hextech gunblade which has built in sustain. I called that I would get a quadra kill with her before the match even started and what do you know, It happened. It happens all the time with Akali. Another problem with her is that she beats OTHER assassins while she isn't even fed and the other assassin is. Her jump range is too long you can't even safely sit behind your own minions even at a great distance because she can jump to it (doesn't have to kill it like irelia) and jump to you. Her Q is on such a low cooldown even with 0% cooldown you can literally Q wait for Q to cooldown, walk up proc it and proc a second one instantly.. WITH 0% COOLDOWN. That is a massive problem. Her stealth is honestly fine. It is just hiding within a circle. The problem lies with the base damage and low cooldowns for no reason.

I found that Sejuani is amazing against Akali. Tanky, high damage without needing to build any and your ult can hit her entire shroud.

If Jungle Akali was level 10 and you (Regardless of what role you were in) were level 10 she was WAY ahead of you. Jungle Akali is awful.

This is riots way of telling you "play assassins or get out".

More players complaining about a damage dealer dealing... damage?

SMH

Seriously. Akali is a NON issue unless you are playing a squishy, no hard CC champ. And if you are playing blinds, who cares???

That would be like me complaining about Katarina on ARAM. There is no point. It's a game mode that is not competitive.

There is something you are leaving out. Because that is not mathematically possible. (as somebody actually has shown a few comments below me) Also, did she have ignite, and use it on you? Were you both at max hp, untouched? Did she rush a dfg after her smite item? because that would also explain a lot.(not a good jungle build, but ya never know) You're leaving out too much information. like who you were playing, what items you had, and how much hp you had. And even at that, she probably did use EVERY spell on you that she had.

I don't think it's possible to have 92 AP with a DFG, as it gives 120. The only item that she could have built to be even close to oneshoting people is gunblade, but even then most Akalis would have over 100 AP as it gives 80 by itself and most people run more than 12 AP on runes.

The dfg thing was sarcasm. haha

Iris Flower1 votes

actually it could be a sheen or lichbane plus ignite. it is not uncommon that akali run hybrid runes

LankPants2 votes

Ap quints give 15 AP alone, that's before the 6 flat and 9 from levels that she almost definitely has from masteries.

I personally think the most likely combination to reach 92 AP at lv 10 is

  • 40 AP from items (revolver)
  • Flat AP quints
  • Scaling AP Glyphs
  • 21 Offence with 3/3-mental force, 1/1-Arcane Mastery, 1/3 Arch Mage
  • 6% bonus from dragon 1

actually it could be a sheen or lichbane

Which are both really bad rushes on Akali.

Isn't the definition of insanity doing the same thing over again expecting different results? Apply this to how people feel about Akali.

You know that she will get to the point of chain deleting enemies one after the other. Her damage will be so overwhelming that ADC's will buy Zhonya's just to stay alive for that one second longer. This is a plainly known fact but people just let it happen then complain after the fact instead of actively delaying the function Akali was designed to fill.

You watch that LCK game Faker played in just recently? Support ganks at 3.30, Jungler 4.10, comes back 4.30 takes flash and kills him. Supp/Jungler return at 6m before he even get's his ult and kill him again. This is a strategy that says we know what can happen if we do anything other than this. One kill isn't a shut down and a one time effort isn't enough. These are the things you need to do shut down Akali so that your mid laner can consistently fight her or so that she's too weak to roam elsewhere.

Unless effort on this scale is put forth no one deserves to complain about a champion working in the way it was designed.

ADC's will buy Zhonya's just to stay alive for that one second longer.

Just a point on that, you know when everyone spams "buy QSS against Zed to survive"? While it doesn't work against Zed it's actually incredibly effective against Akali as you can cleanse her Q with it, and unlike Zed she actually deals magic damage. So if you're an ADC and you want to survive an Akali just build a QSS, it's much stronger at shutting her damage down.

Greenette1 votes

Good Akali players wait for the cd of Q to finish before dashing in unless it's a desperation move, or they haven't been shut down and can just do a half assed combo.
