After three games in a row of playing Akali mid being utterly denied cs, camped and/or killed with little to no minion agro toward my opponent to punish them for being so aggressive (I was against mages) I deem Akali unfit. Sure by all means if your lane opponent only farms you will be fine and punish them and their team but when you're either faced with csing or feeding the match becomes a 4v5 in the opponents favor. I understand I am level 26 and have little experience in this game compared to some but talk about "anti-fun experience". For example Diana, she survives pre-6 due to her double layered shield as well as a q that does more than tickle. Fizz has two gap closers and an e that literally puts the burden of outplay on his opponent. I could sit here all day and list each assassin's superiorities when it comes to comparison to Akali. I guess I am asking for help, because I love this champion, but currently I can't play her due to my inability to combat against harass that leaves me basing at level 2 (after burning through 4 pots).
I used to main Akali(over 200k mastery points) and I realized that Akali is dependent on getting ahead. You must get some kills to have an impact on the game. Don't worry too much about getting cs. If you're playing mid, just try to farm as safely as possible until you hit level 6. After reaching level 6, try to kill your lane opponent. If you can't kill them within a couple minutes of reaching level 6, then you MUST roam. Try going bot lane to pick up a double or top if he's low on life and over extended. Akali is not really a minion farmer, she's a champion farmer. However, your roams MUST yield fruit. If you roam bot for example and fail to get any kills or even assists then you're screwed. You will fall behind way behind in gold and xp and in all likelihood never have an impact on the game. Sometimes though, even if your roam fails, a subsequent successful roam can get you back in the game but if you fail two roams its gg for you. You'll never catch up.
If you like Akali's playstyle of diving in and quickly killing opponents then I strongly recommend you buy Irelia. Irelia does what Akali does 10x better.
