Akali Runes?

I'm thinking of Electrocute>Impact>Eyeball/zombie ward>Ravenous Hunter - and then Sorcery. Maybe Celerity>Gathering Storm/Water Walking

I'm thinking of possibly push and roam style. Of course for that might it better to go with fleet footwork or Phase Rush? Water walking could help around baron/drake fights, or ganks, or counter jungling. Though, between Conqueror, Electrocute, Phase Rush, Fleet Footwork or maybe even Dark Harvest.

Akali seems to have a LOT of good options, but I'm the kind of player who doesn't mind skirmishes, but wants to push and roam.

i like to run precision+domination on her (fleet footwork, presence of mind, alacrity (the small amount of aspd helps a lot imo), coup de grace, taste of blood & ultimate hunter; with 10%CDR, adaptive damage & either armor or mr depending on the matchup)

the two ult CDR runes are exceptionally good on her, and she gets quite a bit of sustain from this setup.

For roaming: https://i.gyazo.com/7e7f7e4062848b3bc25953c66d227ea9.png Electro is good to burst ppl down and ultimate hunter + transcendence is so that you have a very short ult cd so roaming is easier. You can't really do anything without ult most of the time and ultimate hunter + transcendence gets it to like 110 seconds. You don't really utilize stealth or dashes enough to use sudden impact more than taste of blood.

The problem with this setup though is that you really have no sustain so it's only good against champs who can't push very fast or poke very well. It works well against champions who want to roam like Katarina AurelionSol Qiyana because you can follow them easily.

You can also switch out your secondary runes for these: https://i.gyazo.com/4f1e056635d4be72699c2cf50b834633.png https://i.gyazo.com/f3ba070f79871c0f73306c32bc971c37.png

Basic Akali page: https://i.gyazo.com/b957a9a9faaf997febd6a721389c3ab5.png This is just the general midlane rune page rn. Good sustain, good cdr for ultimate, damage is kinda low but against most midlane champions you can't really do much until you have ult so it's better to just farm and sustain rather than go in with q auto q. You can already kill most champions with your full rotation at level 6 without the burst from electro also.
