New Akali in terms of counterplay

I was thinking about the new Akali and got to thinking about how she measures up in terms of having counterplay.

So I looked at different ranges....

  1. In a melee matchup, if opponents can stick to her and avoid allowing her to trigger her passive by dancing in and out of range then they should be okay against her. This is better for bruisers and juggernauts than it is for squishy characters or characters who rely on burst damage.

  2. In a ranged matchup, opponents will be okay vs her as long as they can juke her E and can use AoE to find her in her smoke cloud. Any ranged characters that don't have AoE or have difficulty juking will struggle vs her though, because she can simply out-maneuver and out-damage them.

Feel free to add thoughts in the comments.
