Mechanically, Zed is harder to play.

Positioning wise, Akali is harder to play (in higher ELO) because she doesn't have a reliable escape.

Zed gets hard vs akali. Only in Wood tier though

Zed is literally about a million times harder to master than Akali. His ult alone is harder than her whole kit.

Akali is a newb friendly champ, nothing hard about her.

I'm an alkali main an I feel offended by you mister

Is that even a question?

Akali is like "hit 6 and smash your face into the keyboard to win virtually any matchup", while Zed requires you to actually aim his abilities and he still has a lot of counters.

lol these dorks saying zed is harder. the fact you can be in 3 places in less than a second is kinda op in escapes. you can also w/r over walls when akali really cant (usually). pink ward ruins akali's w. if you can out damage her 10 second combo, shes useless.

Akali, hands down.

Sure, "muh high skillcap zed mechanics" but at the end of the day, Zed players literally have a handicap to help them cs, have a safe pre-6, has mobility and can harass/farm at the same time.

Akali has to actually cs like a normal person, is kassadin-tier garbage pre-6, no mobility, and gets violated by almost every matchup pre 6.

Therefore Akali is easier to do bad with, so she's the harder champ. Zed is so easy to do well with, Zed has a lot of strength to cushion a zed players lack of skill. I know this because I am a trash Zed.

Zed is harder by a fair margin.

How is that a serious question?

Mechanically, Zed is a lot harder than Akali and is harder to master. Akali however, is a bit harder to get used to, as her laning phase (Pre-6) is pretty bad and you get poked hard by a lot of mid laners.

Which champion can actually miss their spells?

Serage6/6/2017, 6:19:04 PM1 votes

They have different skill caps. Zed has harder micromanagment and Akali has harder decision making!

WitchQueen Annie6/6/2017, 6:28:57 PM1 votes

I'd say Zed.

My brother's a god on Akali but near completely useless when playing Zed.

FeministSion2/1/2018, 2:59:07 AM1 votes

Zed is harder and more skill based while akali the lol noob tube version is as basic as a 1 square rubix cube

My friend is an akali main who thinks that she's harder than zed XD

Ps. Can someone gift me an alkali skin

Swiftstrike48/11/2016, 8:52:38 PM1 votes

Zed is a pretty high skill cap champion. He can do A LOT more than akali.

A Bad Mystic8/11/2016, 8:56:07 PM1 votes

Its not even a contest. Zeds harder to master than akali.

Slack King8/11/2016, 8:59:45 PM1 votes

Zed has the better laning phase, better mobility(easier to get out of a fight) And when zed ults combos he gets out. Akali has to stay in. Zed is more mechanically difficult, but akali is much tougher to play in higher skill games. Unless she just goes full tank

iody8/11/2016, 9:11:05 PM1 votes

zed easily akali is pretty easy

Mecha MaIphite8/11/2016, 9:16:26 PM1 votes

Zed has a higher skillcap. They're both easy to pick up though.

Spoofghoul8/11/2016, 9:34:16 PM1 votes

Breathing in and breathing out

is much much much harder

Riven Main8/11/2016, 9:45:48 PM1 votes

to me zed is as good as a master yi. If he can't kill you he's worthless. pretty much summoner 3 and all in and he loses. Not to mention he is going to appear behind your champion every time he ult's so as soon as he does, you stun him and use a combo and bam.. akali can jump 3x with her ult. it's extremely useful and can be used to dodge cc as well, such as an alistar or poppy charge. She has become a lot easier with the spamable E, but in the end it comes down to will you even be able to play zed compared to akali. because people still ban him.
