I love how well balanced Akali is...

Dremiist··3 votes·690 views

she's 1 level 3 kills and 1 item behind. NP! Akali can still win!!! she barely lost that fight QQ... but just barely... , all she needed was one more AA. But don't forget she's 1 level 3 kills and 1 item behind, she almost won that one!!!

and the Akali player is surprised/complaining that his broken champ couldn't pull that one out even tho i started dps'ing him 5 second ago while he was finishing my tower which is the only reason i "barely" BUT "BARELY" won that one!!!

akali is a bigger pain in the ass than katarina, too bad no one on the riot balance team is high elo enough to realize that akali is viable everywhere she go and has massive sustain.

When I was at 3/0 he was 1/0 and you know what? dude tower dived me and he almost got away with it. WELL BALANCED CHAMP!!!

I miss the day Morello was balancing champs... dude was watching closely the game develop in tourney,high and low elo. riot doesn't do that nowadays.

it's funny how every patch now and then is poorly treated, they used to balance multiple amount of champion, and now that we have more champion they're doing less when they should be doing more.

«Not high enough elo» meanwhile nobody above diamond 5 ever loses to akali because she’s a predictable one trick pony that relies entirely on matchup and stats to stay in the game.

She’s a garbage champion above plat elo. Very easy to counter.

Just checked your rank. Why is a gold V player talking about high rank? You’re practically just a silver player with a shiny ego, its not like you actually know what high elo looks like.

http://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=mlgbbłade Seems to pull off akali past diamond 5.

Also your comment didn't really do anything except make you look like a douche.

There are special cases that pull off every and any champion in every single elo. That does not mean EVERY player can do that with said champion.

When have i claimed to be otherwise? I'm just a plat player with a shiny ego, just like you are a silver player with a shiny ego.

Frontline Fury,

I've edited out the elo shaming in your comment here. There is no need to bring elo into it; you can disagree with someone based on the merits of their argument without needing to insult their skill level. Please be more respectful in the future.

So you are saying that player skill level is completely unrelated to how well they deal with certain champions? Of course a silver player is going to think that the wilder champions in the game have absolutely no counterplay when the counterplay is rather abstract.

I'm saying that bringing up elo as an insult to another player is not okay. Most of your comment was fine; I actually wish we could have more frank discussion around the differences between elos, but that's why it's so important to insist that people not be shamed for it.

Being a different elo does not in any way invalidate someone's opinion. If Riot were only balancing for master tier, this game would look a lot different. It's important to understand how every champion operates at every skill level and balance accordingly. So there's no reason for telling someone that their opinion is invalid because of their skill level. Riot wants that feedback, and we should be able to discuss it without resorting to insults.

Gonna have to see a video to really give any insight, but im noticing something youre probably forgetting.

She has sorcs, and gunblade. Which sure is less in raw stats but its a bigger powerspike for her than kass with a roa/lichbane and no pen. Thats the only insight I can really give.

Also AEry + Dom vs Arcane+Insp might have helped in her favor

The balance team is diamond+ ...

So you will just ignore the fact that Akali has

Sorc boots + Gunblade + Fire dragon.

The fact that he has ignite and you obviously didn't.

Not to mention that Kassadin is a late game champ so in all honesty he should have mopped the floor with you considering Akali is strongest in the mid game (right after getting gunblade)
