DOes akali get countered by AD bruisers assassins??

Seems like practically anything building ad slams her mid to late... She feels really squishy. No real hp items worth rushing on her to compensate, rylais seems niche (is it actually worth it) and I'm pretty sure I should be stacking ap and not going for a bruiser build??

Just an ex. Many of the feel like a free lane playing as but once they get a few items (or in yasuo's case 2) if they actually manage to ulti you (W down/Zhonyas down or not built yet) you basically just die. She's alot of fun but i did notice her armor seems pretty low to the point i feel Zhonya's is mandatory just to deal with ADCs.

Is it just me???

Naw, but you're close, been one tricking her on multiple accounts, and I have come to find, her hardest match ups, if we are talking teamphase/late game, is Juggernauts and mega tanks. Akali is a champion where outside of her passive, has no real way to shred people with lots of health, and even than her passive isn't that great at doing it either. Liandiries tormet is really expensive, and doesn't synergize with her kit very well, so she doesn't really get the option to build it. And if the enemy tank is just building health, and no MR, than you don't really get any value out of void staff either.

A mundo will simply just run her over, hell garen and darius to. Sure she can bully them in lane if it's her lane opponents but all and all come team phase, and it's really up to the adc to shred them.

As for the match ups you mentioned with the exclusion of talon these are actually match ups she wins, for they always get in range for her Q and passive, just memorize the distance of your q and passive, while understanding that W essentially gives you a extra Q and the match ups will feel much easier.
