Akali - Is CDR useful on her? Thinking about the New Runes

5050BS··1 votes·1,289 views

So with the new Runes you can take Ultimate Hat (15% CDR on ult that does affect her charge regen), Transcendence (10% CDR at lvl 10 and extra AP when over cap) and Cosmic Insight (5% CDR at lvl 1)

Thing is there is no way other then Blue buff to get Energy Regen (blue makes it 17 per/5 vs 10 per/5)

Would this be good for Akali?

You've got a rune for that opposed to ultimate hat.

I do like to have cdr on both kata and akali. You should not have much energy issue with the latter if you don't keep spamming her E.

Manaflow Band I dont see being useful. Its on a 60s CD and you cant control when it happens. It also only restores 20 Energy but yes does give one spell cast for free so its an extra 65-90 Energy every 60s.

My reasons behind the build is to get a Ult Charge every 7.5s (IIRC)

I was just stating that you could get some energy back from there.

Well you can do it if you want to reach that. Just don't be tempted to break your E key.

you generally don't want to actively get cdr on akali. If you get some from items it's not that bad, but her energy costs are too high to spam the abilities without blue buff (that let's be honest, in solo Q RekSai smite blue away from Anivia )

Considering I've played full-cdr kennen to a decent degree (the idea that I go nashor's into proto into standard AP defensive item), I can see a world in which akali is built with cdr and runed properly (potentially using those rarely seen energy regen runes).

i think she's better with domination tree: +15% spellvamp (30% with item 3146 ) some AP per kill magic penetration when you ult dark hearvest is so good on her as secondary tree idk,but i don't think CDR is good on her (or at last is not the better stats,so if you have to choose...)
