I used to main akali but when I first tried to play kata from the free week I was amazed how easy and fun she is. idk who is better to carry , or stronger . but I know that kata is much easier then akali. So should I keep main akali or switch to katarina?

Akali kinda fell off when they nerfed her, if you are looking to carry, kat is probably better.

Katarina is stronger right now and not countered by pink wards.

If anything pink wards make Katarina more mobile.

Akali actually takes skill now, the nerfs hit her pretty hard, but if you want to learn her she is pretty fun. She also has great skins. Kat is like an easier version of Akali. I like both tbh

You should play Kat but there may be some Akali changes coming soon so watch out for those on the PBE next week. I like both Akali and Kat a lot but Kat is better and less clunky right now.

Yeah but should I sell akali and her skin just for kat or I can play akali and improve my skills? (I main only 1 champ each lane)

You can't sell stuff back to the store in league. At most you can get refunds, but if you still like the champ and skin you got, there's no real reason to.

I have 2 more refunds and now i'm asking myself should I or not... (Didn't mean to say "sell")

Why do you think you have to stop playing Akali altogether? Why must you play Katarina exclusively?

i'm focusing 1 champion so I can get better with him, yea I can play both but who should I focus?

Keep in mind that you can play both and some matchups definitely favor Akali over Katarina. For example, Akali has sustain and multiple gap closing opportunities and no channeling ability so she does better (if not necessarily well) against Kassadin. Akali has more windows of opportunity so champions that have smaller windows of opportunity for engaging (think Morgana or a team with Janna) will fair worse against Akali than Katarina.

It's also worth noting that Katarina is an AoE mage more than she is an assassin and her damage comes over time because they moved a lot of damage to her ultimate. As a result, she's more susceptible to CC (think Taric) than other champs. That said, Katarina is a much better team fight champion; Akali will have trouble with peel, especially in tank meta. Katarina also does better in laning phase than Akali since she's not resource limited (for the few times it does matter for Akali) and she has better poke and harass. Both snowball really well but Katarina has a better time translating that to a win just because of how well she does in teamfights while Akali does more work to get rid of 1 or 2 priority targets but can't win entire teamfights. On the other hand, Akali has good sustain and vision from her W which has its own niche set of uses.

It's your choice but don't think you're limited to 1 champ.
