So I've saved 3150 IP for a new champ, and i've decided to go with either Akali or Nidalee... which one is more fun to play? Which is more bursty and can get in and get out easily? Recently i have been playing Evelynn, but she doesn't have the burst that I want.. Which should I choose? If you could leave a comment explaining your choice, that would be great... :)

Definitely Akali. She's a lot easier to play than Nidalee and can be built either AP assassin or tanky bruiser, giving her versatility.

Nidalee is so much fun if you can land your spears, but Akali is probably cheesier with her constant damage and sticky-ness.

Overall, Nidalee is probably the strongest.

Nid is fun while Akali feels binary without much skill level. Also I'm not sure if Gammeplay is the place for this post, miscellaneous might be better.

Nidalee excels more in the Jungle, while Akali excels in Top or Mid. Nidalee's not even as burst-y as Akali, so the latter is the best choice here.

This is such a hard decision, Akali was my first mastery 5 champ and who I mained probably first, but Nid is my 2nd fav champ right now…

Akali has easily accessible burst, but a decently weak laning phase and not much of an escape.

Nidalee has gated burst as she really has to hit the spears first. Also she's more of a long range poker in team fights.

I main Fiora now, 270k points. Best champ in the game :p

nidalee is getting changed around currently by rito so i'd suggest akali just for sanity's sake.

well I'm a nidalee main.. so you know which i recommend... nidalee IS getting changed every patch or so, so it may not be the best time to learn her.

but right now the main difference between the two is akali is a mid laner and nid is a jungler, at least now anyways.

if you not very good at CSing i would go with nid. if u like mid lane i would go with akali
