This is coming fresh off a game against her, but it's built on longterm frustration, pre and post rework.

Akali is never fun to play against, especially as a melee champion like Garen as a really good example. She slows you with her Q, gets the buffed auto, Q, auto, shroud if she's in trouble, and gets 10 seconds of perfect freedom. Even if you have AOE spells, you don't know where she is, and you can't see her, even under turrets (unless that got removed in a patch note I never noticed). This process repeats until level 6 when she has every opportunity to all-in you and will likely win because she does so much split damage at high ratios. Let me be clear, it's entirely possible to still win against her as the right champions, but it's not fun. As anyone.

So to just round it all off, does anyone have fun against her? Discuss pls

I think Akali's upcoming mini-rework will help push her out of top lane. Her waveclear will be much lower with the increased energy costs and removal of bonus minion damage on her Q, and she'll have much less staying power without the increased duration on her shroud. She'll be far less safe in lane, meaning she'll have a harder time being aggressive in a long lane and will be more suited for mid.

Akali never bothered me. Keep a pink ward in your pocket, drop the ward when she goes invis.

edit League isn't fun and hasn't been for years. If you've spent less than 100 bucks on Riot Bux, get out before you're stuck here forever.

Eh I don't have much trouble against her. I only ever need that second she jumps out of shroud to trade.

No,she's the most tilting matchup for me.I hate this champion and I hope she'll be the new azir so I never see her in my games more than 1/month.
