If I don't ban Akali and the enemy picks her.

I'm dodging. Doesn't matter how well I think I'll do. I don't even care if I'm in promos.

She's not fun to play against and I refuse to play against a champ whos completely immune to anything other than Aoe while in her shroud.

Any of these. ANY of them

Force her into the donut, land a taunt, CC her long enough, hook her to force her out.

Yeah same for me when enemy has YI, Illoi or Neeko...anti fun therefore not worth playing.

She’s dumb but she isn’t that hard to beat. I get what you mean because I had a round I trapped her in her shroud as Caitlyn and I couldn’t shoot her. It was frustrating. But I like to just play against what is tough for me so I learn and get better.

I love when the enemy team picks Akali. It's a free win for me. I don't know why people have a tough time dealing with her.

oh no they picked the lowest winrate mid laner in the game!

Akali is the reason why I picked up and started to play Anivia. I was able to get to gold 5, however due to all the losing, I got demoted back to silver 1.

RE-STEALTH TIMING 0.9/0.8/0.725/0.625 seconds at levels 1/6/9/12 ⇒ 1/0.9/0.825/0.725/0.625 seconds at 1/8/11/20/30 minutes

XD, gotta laugh at that change. 0.1 seconds will save my life.

Easiest way to fix her is just make it so if she gets hit by any AOE ability while in the shroud she's revealed for 2 seconds. EZPZ.

Try Lissandra, she can actually destroy Akali. Your q has longer range than Akali's q, so you can poke and avoid being poked. You have aoe to reveal her location in the cloud (take arcane comet ofc), and you have short cd on q to really hurt her once you see her location. You also have e to get away, and strong ulti to either lock her or save yourself. Plus, when she makes the mistake of teleporting to you with her e, you can again root her (especially good when she does it under your turret), and kick her butt. Try it, really, it worked for me, Lissandra counters her so nicely...and she's not very common/expected, so she probably won't be banned and Akali might not know what to do vs you.

Fwiw your odds of winning sky rocket if they pick akali. You'll hate your life, and you'll hate the game, but, statistically, your odds for victory increase when they pick her.

Ban Akali and they ill just lock in Irelia / Leblanc sadly...

Pika Fox12/17/2018, 9:32:20 PM1 votes

Heres a protip: if you dont afk ontop of her shroud, she cant kill you. I know, its high level complicated gameplay, but just try it.

I'm not arguing with you at all but I do find it funny that people complain about Akali so much when she's got such a crappy win rate. I mean a 45% with rate is a complete joke.
