What champs are both Leblanc and Akali good into? Who do they counter, but also who counters them?

Better question would be what are they bad into

Akali will traditionally strugle into long range poke

Point and click cc

Tanky/high sustain champs

Leblanc is another issue entirely, the only sure way to beat lb is to out burst her

They counter everybody and aren't countered by anyone

Both are good into almost most of match ups that aren't Galio or something tanky But well , But Both can have troubles against a good Zed player , but they out scale him anyway I play both champions a lot and usually I don't have problems with most of match ups

Do they have a dash or innate tankiness? No? Congrats you are good in lane and ok against point and click cc stuff

LeBlanc is generally good into things that aren't simple. Champions with low base values/don't itemize tankiness and have skillshots are her favorite targets. When they're good, she's countered by champions like Ryze, Vladimir, and in the current meta your best counterpick is Lissandra w/ Aftershock. Other assassins with simple kits (Fizz, Diana) are also good into her. If you want a meta assassin that can compete with her, play Kassadin.

I don't play enough nor do I play against enough Akali to give you good advice on her. Most of my successes against her have been through farming safely, outscaling and letting your team do the winning for you. It's important that when you do this you know how to pressure her or she'll get roams off for free.
