Advice for feeding team mates (Akali mains?)

Qiyano Reeves·7/25/2017, 8:17:16 AM·1 votes·907 views

Not flaming, just looking for advice. I main akali and usually do pretty well. I know when to stay back and farm with q's. I also have plenty of games where I can go ridiculous with KDA. Last game kinda irritated me because I got an absurd amount of CS and kills while trying to push obj's but sadly akali isn't the greatest tower destroyer. Some things I have tried to do, baby sit each lane as far as call outs (which are typically ignored.) I enjoy calling out where the jg might be so my their lane will pull back a bit (usually ignored.) I am at the point now where I take TP mid 100% of the time so I can assist with ganks and what not. I roam, snowball etc but it gets to the point where the enemy team only has to really pay attention to me. Well these are the last 3 games at least. So in all honesty from a mechanical stand point for those of you who do play akali, even if you do snowball and assist your lanes via roaming or tp gank, what else can you really do to hard carry the game once you are the center of attention for all the CC in the world?

it sounds like while your roaming your taking all the successful roam kills? the idea here is to feed your laners, not yourself.

if you know where the jungler is or you think you do and you can spare a few CS or are pushing in then roam there and make yourself a thorn in the junglers side.

what else can you really do to hard carry the game once you are the center of attention for all the CC in the world?

if you are the ONLY one fed Vs a fed enemy TEAM your screwed, unless they have a braincell between them you cannot hard carry that you need to put YOUR lanes ahead, watch your farm too, if your close to or are full build and your ADC or top or whoever is a little behind and cant do the damage needed you GIVE that cs to THEM not yourself, again if there a REALLY bad player maybe take it but ultimatley even a douch bag with power is better than a douche bag with no power.

my last 3 games are an example here;

14 / 7 / 7 with 356cs (6.8p/m) < mid 14 / 4 / 8 with 186cs (5.2p/m) < jungler 26 / 7 / 9 with 358cs (6.2p/m) < mid

i put every single lane ahead in the 14/7 and the 14/4 but when people yolo and sit out of position and think there the terminator you cannot do much, the 26/7 was on my main, talon and was a 63min game, i tried my heart out but ultimatley i couldnt hard-cary team fights that late and my team refused to push with me to end the match (we have 3/4 of one nexs turret left on the enemies team with baron)

just some games you cannot carry instead of worryin about those losses think to yourself ''what could i of done to end this much earlier'' then download and watch the reply, take notes of your mechanical fails and why YOU died but ignore the team, concentrate on yourself.

as long as you play consistantly you WILL climb.

Try to splitpush tbh, I often find myself doing that on akali in the later stages of the game.

You said she's not that good at taking towers, but with her passive, the ad from gunblade, and maybe a lich bane, I think she's pretty good at it. You could even choose to dive if someone comes. You even take TP so it works out better.

I appreciate both of your inputs and I put them to work, letting kills be taken I am sure wouldn't get away and I actually split pushed both games and it surprisingly worked really well. Again thanks for your guys thoughts, def made me a better player today.
