Why all the Zed hate when Akali is Zed but easier.
Zed can instakill anyone person he wants. Akali can do that and then get reset jumps and keep on killing. Akali is also 100x easier than Zed. The two things Zed has over Akali is he can get out easier but that doesn't matter when everyone is dead and he has a better laning phase. Zed also has to wait on his ult cooldown, while not long, is still a short time when he can't blow someone up. Zeds ult is also easy to counter. Zed may not be to terrible hard but Akali is easy mode before you able to move up to easy mode.
, Akali is reliant on picking fights that she knows she can win, getting a good approach, and estimating the capabilities of the enemy. Positioning and planning are key, not mashing buttons. Once she is in, she has no escape, her shroud doesn't count because you can just wait for it to expire, or even better drop a pink, and she doesn't have wallhop/wardhop mobility.
