Please Explain How Akali's Ult Is Fair (Not QQ I Just Want to Understand)

Roll in Grass·Feb 27, 2015·2 votes·923 views

Akali's ult is longer than flash, meaning there's no point in flashing. If she ults onto you, you're already dead. That's the end of it.

As an Ahri main, I played a game the other day against an Akali. I burned an ult charge and flash, and she was still able to use her ult. The range is completely unfair. There's no counterplay to Akali's ult. No matter what you burn you're screwed. Please explain how this is fair in any way.

EDIT: People are misunderstanding. I'm not saying that I can't beat Akali as Ahri, I'm saying that if I flash and ult as Ahri, she shouldn't be able to ult. That's about 800 units away that flash and ult provide.

Wtf? You can R flash with ahri to get out of akali's range. Range of Ahri R, 450. Range of flash, 400. Range of Akali R, 700.

400 + 450 = 850

850 > 700

Akali's dash range is shit now in comparison to what it was, and you were STILL able to do this BEFORE her nerf.

Well considering it was just nerfed by 100 range....it's pretty balanced. You are Ahri, kite that bitch, kite her like never before. Also, remember Akali is QUITE weak at the moment, so I don't know why you are having trouble against her....

Well if you are ahri you charm her and kill her. Make her pay for picking Akali in the early game, shove her out of lane whenever possible. And late game if you can't 1v1 you can trade ult charges and then Q to run away.

Akali's kit isn't fair as a squishy immobile champ, but at least now she takes a bit more skill than when her E proc'd her Q

You are an Ahri main and you are complaining about someone else's mobility. You really are barkin up the wrong tree there guy.

I don't mean it to offend you but come on, you can't expect Ahri to be the only person in the game with hypermobility.

Ever wondered how other champions feel when you use your ridiculous MS steroid and 3 dashes and charm to chase them down no matter how far they go? Well now you know what it is like.

It's not a complaint about mobility. Read edit.

Akali has a ridiculously hard early game when it comes to trading and farm. It's quite easy to get a gold and experience advantage over here by harassing aggressively and zoning her from farm. On top of that by the time her ult by itself should be chunking you it'll be later game and you'll be with your team. As an assassin she relies on catching people out once she has damage and will not hesitate to do so. She's fairly weak right now because it's difficult for her to get to that point as fast others.

Good on you for asking before raging, more than a lot of people can say.

Learn a new champ buddy. Ahri SHOULD stomp akali so easily. Laning phase you can literally zone her off of 50% of the farm she needs, and post 6, anytime she wants to go in on you, she has to FACE CHECK your charm!!! Ahri is SO STRONG right now and Akali is SOOOO WEAK right now. Holy shit. I just realized this MUST be a troll thread. You got me.

She's a Melee Burst Assassin. That's why it's fair.

Ahri has two Moderately ranged skill shits, Three Free Jumps and a Melee Ranged Burst. Meanwhile Akali has a Short Ranged Click Skill, a melee ranged AoE and...that's about it for her. Her Ultimate is what makes her a threat, her Ultimate is what allows her to get in there. Without it, you'd be looking at a very unusable champion who's completely outclassed by her peers.

My advice to you, don't Play Ahri against her if you can't handle it, you have a whole 6 levels before she can do anything to you.
