The difference is Cass is much stronger than Akali.

no offense, but you must be bad in that regard pink ward = you can see what akali is planning to do abuse it , since it removes one of her abilities

Except in 1v1's, also known as laning, Akali doesn't really use her W. That's more for attempting escapes and buying time for cd's. In a normal 1v1 against a low cc champion, Akali will just cast all of her other abilities to kill them.

Spaceman5pff2 votes

Yep. Removes the ability that doesn't do damage and thus doesn't matter when the 0/4 Akali finally gets gunblade and just Q-R-AA-E-Q-GUNBLADE-AA and changes ur instagram filter

No no no, you got it all wrong. You need Sapphire Crystal to build into Muramana. Blue Katarina is the only good build.

Akali's not even that good tho...

I'll admit her builds are pretty flexible, though.

Nah, that's actually a common misconception.

In fact, the only items that are good on Jax are ones that have Attack Damage, Ablity Power, Attack Speed, Armor, Magic Resist, Health, Mana, Health Regen, Mana Regen, Cooldown Reduction, Armor Pen, Magic Pen, Movement Speed, Crit Chance, an Active, or a Passive.

She was olaf'd due to perma-stealth thus underpowered. If she weren't any of her builds are viable obviously.

50000000000000002 votes

That I can stand behind. Even ignoring her passive, her kit allows for a lot of various builds. Tank, AD, AP, on-hit, or any mix of those.

Damn. He got friendzoned hard

Very Hard Engage3 votes

the secret to beating rylias is range, hard engage, or burst. there are such things as counterpicks, im sorry cass is stronger than you are, but cass loses to numerous things.

rylias by itself is a non factor.

Galio Fizz Lux Ziggs Diana Leblanc Morgana item 3001 item 3156 item 3102 i could keep going but i wont.

you want to complain about her 2 item powerspike of morello + rylias, but have you considered the fact that she has zero resistances? so anyone else who also powerspikes in the mid game has an equal chance of decking her? or has numerous methods of outplay.

rylias is an insurance policy to force a fight and or help secure a kill for finding you when you were otherwise out of position.

the reason why its "such a gross item" is because it actually manages to punish players for their mistakes. the reason why shes winning with rylias is because she initiated and started whailing on you for 2seconds before you started to do anything else giving her a hard dps edge. and now you cant escape for free.

but the fact of the matter is ---> you building rylias doesn't give you a better chance just for building one item in particular.

should we go back to item 3068 item 3025 item 3065 every single game?

Akali is SO HOT10 votes

No the reason she's winning is because she finished Rylais and started spamming E on me making my movement speed and health bar disappear. The counterplay to Rylais is to dodge all of the enemies spells which you can't do half the time because they're targeted. None of the champs you listed can permaslow someone after completing their first item. It's not fun to play against at all especially if you're a melee lol.

Very Hard Engage1 votes

or you can land your CC ability to stop it and then blow your whole stack, preventing the combo. she only runs directly at you while spamming.

but wait.... akali doesn't have any cc.....

oh i see what the problem here is.

Akali is SO HOT8 votes

I don't understand why everyone always assumes I'm playing Akali in these situations lol. Just because I main Akali doesn't mean I play her every game. Sure you can use your CC ability but it's a shame that it'll be on cooldown when she wants to go in on you again because her E doesn't have a cooldown.

Very Hard Engage2 votes

and i really dont get how you think rylais is a must buy on every single champ on all occasions when its just not.

im telling you the item is assurance, nothing more and nothing less. its not going to be the difference between life or death in situations you would otherwise die in.

Name one ap champion that dosen't want 500 health 100 ap and a free slow

NineTailedMystic2 votes

Except Rylai's is being built on almost every Mage, especially on ones that shouldn't need the passive whatsoever. Like Lux, Syndra, Ziggs, Xerath. I've even seen a LB build it. The stats are too strong to pass up. It's basically Core on Ahri now when it should be a niche item.

Mages who have targeted abilities: Karma, Annie, Cass, Anivia, Brand, Fiddlesticks, Lissandra, Malzahar, Ryze, Twisted Fate, Swain, Veigar, Viktor, Vladimir.

Mages who do not have targeted abilities: Ahri, Aurelion Sol, Azir, Gallo, Gragas, Heimerdinger, Karthus, Kennen, Lux, Morgana, Orianna, Rumble, Syndra, Taliyah, Vel'Koz, Xerath, Ziggs, Zilean and Zyra.

Each of the champions listed in the Has category has a single targeted ability, except Fiddle. Therefore, out of 132 Mage abilities in the game, 16 of them are targeted and in Lissandra, Ryze, one of Fiddle and TF's cases the slow from Rylai's won't apply because either the ability deals no damage or it applies a stun/snare longer than the Rylai's slow duration.

There's plenty of room for counterplay here.

And about half of the champions you listed as having non-targeted abilities have abilities that cannot be realistically dodged every time. Namely:

  • Aurelion Sol: Try dodging his stars for 100% of the game while still trying to apply damage. And then there's his ult which pushes you right into his stars.
  • Azir's soldiers' autoattacks ARE targeted, and they apply Rylai's.
  • Heimerdinger's turret attacks ARE targeted, and they apply Rylai's.
  • Karthus can just walk up to you with his E on. Not to mention his Q has a <1 second cooldown, so good luck dodging all of them.
  • Kennen tends not to buy Rylai's from my experiences, but he can easily proc it with his W-enhanced autoattack, his E and his ult, none of which are skillshots.
  • Morgana's pool is instant cast and deals damage in a virtually unavoidable time frame.
  • Orianna's Q has a 3 second base cooldown at max rank, and even lower with the CDR she builds.
  • Rumble just walks at you with Q (and W) on.
  • Syndra's Q has a low cooldown, all of her basic abilities have fairly high radii (so they're easy to hit), and her ult is targeted.
  • Zyra can easily apply Rylai's using her plants, which have auto-targeting attacks.

And all of those champions can buy a Luden's Echo or Runic Echoes, which can turn a missed skillshot onto a minion into a Rylai's proc.
