An Akali with a Hextech Revolver and a Vampiric Scepter turret dived me as Vel'Koz while I was FULL HP and significantly more fed than her. She proceeded to eat up 4 turret shots and all of my abilities before she died, and she ended up killing me.
People are making the excuse that she's an assassin? Really? So it's balanced to have absolutely zero counterplay whatsoever and be able to all in your lane opponent under turret while also being behind?
Cowgirl Ed4 votesbecause she died and she's an assassin
Arizona Dry1 votes...That's a load of shit excuse. She's an assassin, so she's able to take 4 turret shots plus my abilities before dying? But she can also do high damage, have high mobility, hell, why not give her fucking everything because she's an assassin?
That removes every single bit of fucking counterplay from assassins. I even have a bit of CC and it didn't help to do a thing.
Dreadlocks3 votesSo much aggregation lol. U should be a comedian.
Colgate Gator3 votesWell, you let an Assassin zero in on you as a squishy mage, so figures that she assassinated you.
Arizona Dry1 votesZero in on me? I was farming in lane under my fucking turret. WE WERE IN LANE AT LEVEL 8.
FDS Desperado3 votesYou don't want someone to explain it to you, you just wanna scream and cry and stomp your feet and have people agree with you. Fuck off kid.
Tract3 votesEveryone here has tried to explain and you just insult what they tell you. I looked your profile up, you are not ranked, so it's understandable you might not have the same grasp of counter picks. Pre level 6, Akali is anyone's punching bag, Vel even more so than most. Especially against Vel, the second she hits 6, the situation completely reversed. You can't hit her, she keeps dashing at you, and you must have missed your knock up under the tower if she killed you under. Also, I looked at your match history, if your getting stomped by an Akali, getting something like Abyssal will make her much easier to deal with. Four tower shots inst enough to kill quickly, especially if she has some healing, next time, just stay calm and hit your knock up, then she is toast.
Tl;dr Vel wrecks Akali pre 6, Akali wrecks Vel post 6
Arizona Dry1 votesShe was level 8. I was level 8. She was way behind me. I hit my knockup. She killed me under tower.
Sorry but you're sorely mistaken in what you're trying to say only because you haven't got any information.
FYI I was gold in Season 4.
Also, wtf? "and you just insult what they tell you." Only one of my responses was even relatively disrespectful to the person who replied out of two responses. God damn you people really know how to bring out the stupid in most situations.
Hige3 voteswait what? she died? sounds like you got lucky
her job is killing you and YOU managed to kill her, why is that so broken?
Arizona Dry1 votesI managed to kill her before level 6 several times, and then she comes and kills me while incredibly behind and under my own fucking turret. If that isn't broken then maybe Riot aren't the only ones who don't have a great concept of balance. You all bitch about Zed but then Akali can come and do something so similar.
Hige1 votesI mean she's dependant on scaling, and her only method of assassination is going forward. You need probably one item to start dishing out a lot of damage. Particularly Vel'koz is very suceptible to diving so it's no surprise you died, try doing that to a mage with more cc and you're done.
You seem to think that Akali managed to do this because she's broken, in reality she's just vel'koz' counter or any immobile mage for that matter.
Zed is even worse because as you mentioned, Akali died trying to kill you, Zed would have done that while staying alive with at least 50% health.
Cavemantero1 votesyou missed the part about akali taking 4 turret shots. the turrets are still trash and its a big problem.
Hige1 votesagain, this is because it's akali, she has a lot of omnivamp in her passive as probably the item she had, hextech revolver, that's her only method of survival since she can only go forward, now I know how ridiculous this can be at times, but the point stands, she died, even after having heaps amounts of omnivamp that allow her to take turret shots and vel'koz damage, who probably missed the knockback either way.
Rabblerouser3 votesGuys, while I do agree OP is being a bit drastic... even some well-known YouTubers are starting to notice the ridiculous burst.
Fusarix2 votesVideo?
BakedLotion2 votesmaybe you should land your e. There's no fucking way an akali will kill you if you landed your e and combo'd her
Arizona Dry1 votesDid land my E. There apparently is a way she would kill me if I landed my E and combo'd her because she did. :)
Sythriel Draken1 votesI think it's not akali, but more of the fact that turrets STILL DO JACK FUCKING SHIT when it comes to damage and survivability. I can legitimately tank a second tier or nexus turret on any fighter class with just 1-2 armor/magic items. hell, you pick the right fighter/tank and poof, you're able to turret dive at level 4 and laugh as the tower does little to no damage as you just walk away.
I think that towers damage should be True damage, or also apply the GW passive.. that way you don't have someone like Garen, Volibear, etc just soaking up turret damage while still being able to heal for the full amount
