I know the laning phase of this like the back of my hand. But Around mid game she randomly outdamages me. Is there anything i can do to her at that point even with a lead? Ive had a 50 cs lead with an average of ill guess about 5 kills ahead of her and still she outdamages me after about 2 items. what do?
Akali is SO HOT4 votesYou can snowball really hard against her levels 1 through 5 but once she hits level 6, if you aren't miles ahead of her already, it's one of the easiest matchups in the game for Akali
Hexten2 votesYasuo revolves around abusing his windwall as much as possible to stop Q being applied to him when vsing against Akali. You can seriously outtrade, and even outright kill her if you can block her initial Q, then she can't proc it to burst Yasuo down.
You have to be good with the timing of windwall to get this perfect everytime. He also has a knockup that can interrupt her dash mid-flight, so it will cancel the damage and deny her proccing her Q off. If there are lots of enemy minions around, you can give Akali a very hard time proccing Q if you keep dashing to avoid being autoattack'd.

So save my tornado when shes about to jump on me? Because noticed she was smart enough to shroud whenever my tornado was going to hit her (shouldve gotten a pink ward) ich would either force me to back off or win her the trade. It seems like most akalis i've fought dont even bother trying to proc thier q with an auto though... just QR repeat. I tried to windwall her Q but jeez the timing on that is really difficult.
Hexten1 votesGetting a little bit of MR helps, but Akali going just Q and R and not proccing the mark won't do much damage, unless she is super-ahead, then it doesn't matter if she procs her Q or not, R's base damage is insane against a squishy.
Its much easier for Akali to bait out the Q knockup and windwall, since they both have long cooldowns then jump onto Yasuo and then its gg. The Q knockup should always to saved to counterattack her when she tries to all-in. Akali is a snowball champ, so her sitting back and just farming isn't doing herself a favour nor for her team.
But Yasuo is a damage carry as well, so he can easily pop Akali as well. I'll say its more of skill match-up because I have vs'd against Yasuo's that know how to play him and make it much more difficult to all-in him.
shyie1 votes5 kills? Seems fishy but you're probably not playing the matchup right. Bait out the q and wind wall it, then trade, Poke her down in lane before she can actually do anything, then all in her. Be sure to ult right before the knockup ends to get some more autos in there. GL

THe match went just as i said, idk if we were equally skilled or if she messed up, but i got a lead around lvl 2, then around 6 she was too much and i needed my jungler to to gank constantly.
Dreadlocks1 votesAkali is a pretty good counter to Yasuo which is the main reason you struggle vs her.. Your best option is to just roam away from her lol. I dont think you are going to find an easy way around her in terms of winning a 1v1. But if u do.. its prob going to be because she messed up, and you were able to hit all ur spells and ult. But even then she'd have to mess up pretty hard to not win the trade. Assuming you guys are both equally skilled.
Only Play Darius1 votesAkali counters Yasuo and will fuck him up hard. You can deny her all the CS and even kill her early, but the moment she hits lvl 6 she shits on Yasuo and he can't do anything about it.
You NEED to buy magic resist

So should i invest in some health with that or rely on my runes?
Myther1 votesBest thing you can do is rush mercs/hexdrinker. and safely shove the wave and roam before she can kill you, she can't push that well early game, she'll be forced to deal with the minions

Merc scem over the shiv powerspike? So when should i stop being aggro on her? Item wise.
Slamurai Jack1 votesNot really. Her damage eventually becomes too high for you to handle no matter what. Your only option is to rush some MR and then kill her quickly. You will start dying to her if you rush all damage unless you're several levels ahead of her.

So rush Merc Scem before or after Shiv? She ended up having too much damage after she got her Revolver although i had about 3 kills over her and a decent cs lead. I ended up getting merc scem as my third item... is that a bad idea against her? The main reason i beat her was because my jg camped after she got her revolver which was great on his part.
Slamurai Jack1 votesIf you want to beat Akali in the 1v1, the thing I've found best is Zeal->BF->Hexdrinker, and then finish either your Shiv or IE next depending on the game. Straight rushing Shiv will just get you murdered now with how hard it's been nerfed.
Stars Shaper1 votesAkali just steamrolls Yasuo as she gets an item and level 6 just because of her passive and damage skills
