So... Akali

When is this nonsense going to end? First blood her, zone her from CS as Azir top. Hits 6, insta kills me.

I end up with 2k+ hp and 120 of both resistance (very tanky for a mage) and she kills me in around 4 seconds while taking almost no damage due to massive spell vamp AND life steal, and her ult resets off kills/assists.

All point and click. No perishable resource. No way to counter-build her.

I just can't take the argument that this is a skill-based tactical game when things like her still exist in their current state. But oh no, better gut Cassiopeia and leave her like that, and Olaf, and Urgot etc.

But Akali (and others like her) are totally fine...

Game is run by muppets.

Akali's ult needs to have a longer wait time

When you stop picking air. Burst cc mages are best mages.

Maybe lean counters to her? Or try playing her. Sometimes energy CAN be a very restricting resource when trying to all in. Maybe increase ult cd or Q cd, that's about all you can do at this point. Akali is hard countered by Lee sin, Riven, and lots of other top laners. Midlane is where she thrives, so expect to die lot. Remember JUST how weak she is early, and try to continuous poke and zone her from creeps. Someone like Syndra or Orianna will have an easy time against her. As for Akali vs katarina, for me Akali always wins. Kat needs to see to ult, and Akali has her shroud.
