shes a very hit or miss champ right now. she has a very weak laning phase pre 6 and usually relies on the jungler to get things done early. late game shes very good but you have to watch out for enemy pinks. she also has better wave clear late because of the e buffs, i think its on a 1 or 2 second cooldown at rank 5.

I say nay, because I hate seeing Akali in games, be it on my team or the enemy team.

She's completely feast or famine, if she doesn't get off to a good start, she's useless and just gets blown up. Plus the only place I've see her working well in the last few patches is top lane, and now most top lanes just want to murder you Garen Darius Fiora Gangplank and it typically ends up happening too.

She has a powerful kit once she gets hold of item 3146, but just like Diana Rengar Nocturne, she is an assassin with no escape, so if you are going to do anything with her, like a play for example, try to get as fed as you possibly can before trying anything against the enemy team. Her sustain is also redonk with item 3146, so don't shy away from duels too much once you get it~

She's nowhere near as no-escape as Diana or Rengar.

Akali has a shroud with invis. Diana does not. Neither does Rengar. Is it always reliable? No. But you're underestimating how useful shroud jukes are.

Shroud jukes are the deadliest jukes....unless the the enemy team has Oracle's lens but let's not talk about that.

Not many people get Oracles lens. it's just not a very popular pick for items

That's actually why I want to buy her, I generally just like champions who can heal off damage like it was nothing and I've seen Akali's heal their entire HP bar from one Minions Wave. I also think that her sustain is makes up for her unreliable escapes, why run when you can probably just heal it off?

She sucks and needs to get buffed, so nay.
