What is her counterplay?

You can buy all the pink wards (or upgrade the yellow trinket) and she'll just use the infinite damage with her q-e combo to destroy you.

You can try to cc her but if she shrouds when you do it your cc is completely useless. But you dont always have hard cc and if you do she not only has shroud to make it hard to hit her with it, but also has insane mobility to boot.

Now, i can understand mobility and damage to a point, but the insane amount of sustain she gets after completing just 1 item alone is what breaks the barrel for me. After about 10-12 minutes in the game, she becomes nearly invincible unless they misplay or you have your top/mid (whchever lane she isnt in) and jungler gank.

So that raises my main point, what is her counterplay?

Fun fact : Janna has a free auto attack + an ad steroid that cost mana. The trick is that mana regenerate forever. So if you shield yourself and autoattack a target. Even more? Those tricks are built in her kit, so it's free. You'll have infinite damage for 0 gold! Forever!

Riot said they wanted to remove free power from champion kit. I demand this bug be nerfed. Rito p1s!

Akali really isnt op considering her many counters, she is weak to anything with hard cc or can zone her ex. (least to greastest threat, even though they are all hard counters) Chogath Fizz Heimerdinger Kassadin Lissandra Udyr Swain Vladimir Azir Garen Darius XinZhao Leblanc Olaf Riven Jax Fiddlesticks and in theory full AP or full crit/AD Blitzcrank might work.

And what do you mean when akali is cc'ed she will shroud?, of course she will that means in the next 15 seconds her shroud won't be up, and you could continue to attack her. If you heven't noticed all those i've listed have AOE/gap closers/ or can survive her damage and deal it back which make her shroud useless, and im sure everone has at least one of those champs in their champion pool. Just never pick things like Xerath or Syndra into her because akali accels at killing any squishies. IDK, i just can't agree when peopl say akali is op. Akali isn't tankier either unlless you build her to be.
