Why do i suck so bad? Or does Akali take skill?

Warded, Gave Akali 1 kill, 0 Ganks from Pantheon, my team except Renekton fed akali, point being, why does Akali make every other champion feel like trash? Is she really that easy of a Champion? OF COURSE SHE IS :D Akali's passive is not only OP, but it makes her OP even more than she was :D. Want to use a Morgana shield on yourself to protect from magic damage? :D Wrong, her basic attack is AD like everyone else, bang, your dead. Oh whats that, you wanted to stop her ult from gett--.. nope, your already dead before you can get behind your turret, and even then she'll kill you, and for some reason when she flashes, the turret shot stops(Tell me why this happens Riot). Lets see, where was I going to go with this, oh right, it only takes her 1 kill to, get a triple kill with hextech revolver against an Ulting nunu, an ulting Morgana and a fed Varus at full health, whats that? You wanted to kill her, sorry bro, but she just got away with more than half health from hitting nunu once. Whats better is that I got reported for feeding her, by the time laning phase was over, she was 8/2 my score was 0/2/4 Strangely enough I gave her only 1 kill, so I propose two options, just two, and only two. Fix Akali, or you can implement an IQ Test for people who like to rage and arent competent enough to ward the jungle when they jungle, instead they like to blame the mid laner for not warding the jungle. I appreciate your time in not reading this Riot, or your time in reading this, but then laughing as you flip through your Borderlands Vault full of Money. And yes, this is coming from a Bronzie who has only won 2-3 Bronze III games in a 48 hour period, so yeah, im a bit salty. But this cancer called Akali needs a big fix, thanks.

wall of text crit me too big.

Play a decent amount of akali and it becomes much easier to play against her in lane.

You think that is crazy? Try fighting a good Talon, soooo crazy :D but in my opinion Talon has like the flashiest assassinations so its always fun even if its you getting instakilled with no way of doing anything.

Akali, Zed, Talon, they all do the same type of assassination. Bounce in and destroy. While I think Talon will get nerfed due to his silence, I find Akali and Zed highly counterable by wards, good team coordination, and crowd control, Zed not as much but still a good bit.

I just have this living hatred for any assassin that tends to do mid lane, because they don't have to rely on mana, and they all have really good escapes. I wish assassins were technically junglers because I really hate when they escape from me so easily at no cost really, yes they use a lot of energy but energy comes up way too fast. But thats my opinion.

There are a few assassins that do use mana

Why though? Why can't they all use mana? Or all use energy? Katarina is just stupid beyond belief, 15 second cooldown is her passive(On Champion Assist or Kill((REALLY RIOT?)), like really? And akalis passive is redonculous, it gave me cancer.

They are all powerful, but normally you can deal with them easly pre-level 6 or with hard CC

Haven't played a champ yet that can't be beat with some practice and thought. Akali isn't op. Shut her down early. She can't do much pre-6 unless you're careless or he/she's just better than you.

Check out lolcounter. The site is great for learning how to deal with champs you have a hard time with.

she is just better than you

akali hits 6 presses r 3 times resulting in enemy midlaner dying despite wasting his flash, ignite cooldowns, and even standing under tower

i get that lvl6 should be a powerspike to her but being able to 100 to 0 anyone you find just with your base dmg is kinda too much
rito could give her some scalings instead so she wouldnt build half tank

Akali is actually very simple to shut down. The easiest way is CC. It cripples her. If you focus her, even the W can't save her from 2 or 3 champs. This method tends to work if she doesn't outlevel you. If she does outlevel you, you'll need hard CC like Morgana's Q.

If you want to shut down the W which is the biggest hassle targeting her, vision counters it. Lee Sin can see in it for example.

If it's the ult combo, all champs have windows where they can get shut down. If you shut down Akali early on, it becomes hard for her to comeback unless her team sets up some kills for her. Otherwise, sacrificing one champ to bring her down doesn't really change anything as you'll always outpace her in teamfights. She becomes near useless -especially if carries are present. Shut her down early. It's a strategy game.

Also, in terms of tanking her, she has three ults which do the most damage in conjunction with her Q. Silence helps, but isn't required. You need MR. Most of Akali's power will be AP-based. She doesn't get AD spikes until Gunblade which most players will never rush. Akali can't stop a smart Sejuani or Nautilus. A couple of ganks and she's screwed.

If you're 1v1 and she outlevels you, then yea, you already screwed the pooch, but it's a ***** to fight anyone who outlevels you. That's not necessarily the champ (especially if they don't counter you,) that's you not keeping up with them. So if you'd mind not getting so damn defensive and take my advice you could improve. There is absolutely nothing wrong about not being as good as an enemy laner or just having trouble with certain champs. Heimer and Fizz still make me groan when I see them. There's no need bash Akali. She can be handled fairly easily.

Honestly, as a support player I love seeing Akali picked.

Because I know that no matter how fed she gets, no matter what, I can invalidate her completely. I just buy a Pink Trinket and do my thang until we group up, then fed Akali comes in, ults, I cc her for two seconds or so, she shrouds, I pink ward, and if she isn't dead at that point I exhaust to cut her passive healing by a neat little amount.

I don't think I've ever lost to an Akali when playing support or tank jungler. It's literally just too easy to take the most fed enemy team member and make mincemeat of them because you know your team is going to focus the shit out of them when they get cced.

Srsly bro. Get past the dregs of bronze, then complain about a champ.
