So I was just personally wondering, does anyone else play Akali? I am a Bronze elo player and I really enjoy playing Akali. Most of the low elo players don't really play Akali, I honestly don't know why. I've been playing Akali since early season 6 and I swore she was gonna be bad without spell vamp...turns out I was wrong. Back to what I was asking...anybody else play Akali?
FioraWillCarry1 votesI do. In fact, I used to main her during my climb to level 30, stopped maining her when I started playing Azir. I just enjoy Azir way more and he brings more to the table, especially in teamfights. I still play Akali now and again. My problem with her is that she contributes so little when everyone starts building tanky. It was great playing her vs sub-30s where no one really knows how to build defense but as soon as you hit level 30 and Bronze level elos, where a lot of people build tanky, she just kinda falls off.

And I can totally see that being a huge issue, most bronze elo players don't really build the appropriate build to stop Akali and don't really have that problem yet...most games im in I am able to take out the squishies first but by then my team has the tank killed or almost killed and I am able to clean up.

You're lucky. In my Bronze games it is common to see 3+ tanky champs slugging around on the enemy team. She becomes team reliant in such situations. She needs and effective DPS ally to chip them down before she can clean up. Akali performs best if the enemy team is a bunch of glass cannons. Pentas all day long but its been ages since I seen a team of all squishies. Everybody and their grandma builds tanky these days.
hablo intaliano1 votesi mained akali as my first or 2nd champ, she carried me out gold elo's, but things get rly hard a plat+ with assasins in late if you dont make picks or stomp lane. She isnt one of the assasin like fizz who can 1shot the adc in a tf cause she doesnt have the Fizz R'cc slow mobility, E immunity.
