Can somebody sane (not akali players) tell me what the hell am I supposed to do against her in lane? Whenever I poke, she just clicks on Q onto minions and heal for 100% of my poke in 2 Q's.. Whenever I want to trade with her, it's impossible because she just clicks W and out trades you + heals.. Whenever somebody comes gank against akali, she just presses W and can just go away.. Whenever she gets in range to her R, i need to flash away, get to my turret, run to my team or I'm dead, because her second R does ridicolous amount of damage. (remove the microstun on her first R btw pls) I'm so done that the only counterplay is banning her.

Mobile assassins naturally counter traditonal squishy midlaners. The solution is to shift the meta by playing more durabile mids than can deal with her burst and fire back if built properly

She can only heal off Q when she's got near max energy. One Q will put her under the threshold. Playing aggressive, ranged poke keeps her healing down. Lux, Lissandra, Malzahar...stuff that's easy to get off and hard to miss. She also doesn't heal a whole lot per Q.
Once again, skill shot mages deal with W well. Lissandra isn't as good here, but Malz can silence and Lux's whole kit is up for this match-up. Syndra can also deal with this.
Not much you can do for ganks. That's one of her strong points. Still, your jungler can position himself on the other side of her shroud to hopefully catch her on her way out.
You're not supposed to play in R range to begin with. You're ranged. If you're close enough for her to R1 and hit you without E, you're too close.

im tired of fucking stuid akalis casually walking under my turret botlane and killing me when theres literally nothing i can do against her as adc.. i think theres a huge problem with the fact that theres not counterplay to a squishy mid laner champ while shes under your fucking turret, if riot had one sensible brain collectively that wouldnt be allowed
