So when did hypercarry tank Akali become a thing?

Literally not even 150 AP, something like 4.5k HP at level 18 and able to deal 3.5k burst damage in roundabout 3 seconds, 100-0'ing literally any champion in the game who isn't building full tank.

First tank Fizz, then tank Ekko, then tank Yasuo, now tank Akali? Riot... is there something about your own game that you're not learning or something? Have you yet to learn at all that when you give assassins high scalings, it makes builds like this hilariously abusable? Assassins should have kits designed for gap closing and 1v1 burst, but only have something like a 0.35 or 0.4 scaling at most on any one ability. Not the 1.0, 1.2 and 2.0 scalings you see on some champs.

Assassins should be forced to literally build like glass cannons to 100-0 people, not rush and then run full tank items from then on.

item 3116 + item 3146 > 150 AP

You realize they already nerfed this right? You just got your ass beat didn't you

they are if you have any reasonable defensive strategy. Tank akali is screwed if she cant stick to a single target

She has 3 charges of a targeted dash... what are you talking about if she can't stick to one target? She'll stick to anyone she wants.

unless she can't afford to which is often the case even when full tank. She has 0 dashes if she doesn't kill you and with this build if they have any disengage she can be in some massive fucking trouble which is also the case for nontank akali and assassins in general. She has lower damage and all the same weaknesses except for easy to burst but then with this build she's also not really all that hard to burst down either. Just harder than normal. Did you notice she only actually has one defense item for each defense stat? This means you get near max returns on sustain stats + any penetration item.

item 3036 item 3812 boom AD item 3146 item 3135 boom, AP, actually AP doesn't even need the penetration to sustain her shits. so Boom item 3001 or item 3157

If you aren't playing stupidly half the time you can counter her without even killing her

Haha 3.5k dmg in seconds building tank.... Overreacting or she was 5 levels and 20 kills ahead Noone in this world will convince me that semi tank can have 3.5 k burst in less than 3 seconds

Btw low scaling will encourage building tank items.

Then that's a plus. If they build tanky, they have no damage. The only way they have damage is by building glass cannon. It's their choice.
