Do not try to fight her pre 6. Her chain reveals you from shroud and you won't be able to E out of the her chain range. And if you try to trade, she'll respond with a better trade. Play safe till 6. Remember that Akali can beat anyone when she hits 6.
Pantheon
He trades too well early-game. His W+E+Q combo will burst you down. Play safe till 6 so you have enough dashes to get behind him when he uses his shield and burst him.My Personal Perma Ban
Akshan
If you are unlucky enough to have ever had to face against AD Ranged champs mid, you know exactly how this feels. Literally cannot do anything pre-6. Biggest tip is to buy an early Cloth Armor into Steelcaps. Akshan with PTA and Bone Plating is unkillable pre-6. His swing counters you pretty hard as he can get away from you and attack you at the same time. Ask for ganks early and at level 6, try to get his Bone Plating off and then all in him if possible.
Vex
I find Vex pretty difficult as most of them stay behind their minions so you cannot hit your E or walk up to Q. Just dodge her fear and you should win every single trade. Try to trade as much as possible until her fear comes back and then back off unless you can kill her. Her W can be quite annoying. If Vex holds her fear, just try to safely last hit minions, shove if possible, and look for roams as it'll be difficult to kill her.
Talon
Talon is a pretty scary matchup for Akali. You cant really trade with Talon early since your Q energy cost is really high. Respect his level 2-4. Level 6, it depends on who gets the first hit and can do their combos the fastest. Shroud when he all-ins to avoid maximum dmg from him. I recommend engaging on him first as you will find it somewhat difficult to not be hit by his WQR combo. DO NOT GET W+FLASH+Q AT LVL 2
Vladimir
Do not get hit by Vlad's empowered Q that's the only way he can win trades against you. Once it's down, you can play aggressive against Vlad. His pool isn't a big deal. Vlad scales really hard late game so try to abuse him as much as possible from level 3 to 14 as that is where he starts to get really strong.
Galio
This match up isn't hard, it's just very hard to kill Galio especially against AP champs. Try not to get poked by his Q too much and avoid being hit by his E+W+Q combo. Wait till his Aftershock goes out then you can fight. If he goes AP you have a better kill potential. If he goes tank with Aftershock, look for pokes. Only thing you really lose hard to is his ability to gank.
Sylas
He trades very well against any AP Assassin. You will want to avoid pretty much all of his abilities, especially his W and E since he literally heals all his HP back. Don't try to fight him head on early. Sylas is not unkillable, so at level 6 use your dash advantage to kill him. Though he'll steal your ult and use it against you, as long as you don't get caught by his E, you win.
Kassadin
Let Kassidin hit you with his Q at level 1-3 as you really can't do anything. Wait for his shield to go off and go in for a Q. Either you get a better trade or he loses CS. At level 6, try to predict his R. Dodge his R by responding with your E and the lane is actually very easy. Try to win before level 16 when Kass starts to one-shot everyone.
Orianna
Orianna is pretty annoying. She will try to poke you out. Don't get poked out too hard. You won't really be able to do anything until level 6 unless she lets you hit her with your E which is unlikely. At level 6, Ori is an immobile champion so as long as you are on top of her, she cannot do anything.
Ryze
Getting hit by Ryze's E+Q will hurt if you take too much. Try your best to CS and stay healthy. Just avoid his combos and ask for ganks pre-6. Level 6, as long as you hit you E with your Ult. Ryze's stun and Phase Rush will not be enough to escape from you.
Syndra
Syndra is pretty annoying. She'll Q everytime you try to last hit minions. Play safe and try your best to farm. If she walks up past her minions you can actually trade while your minions help you. Try to avoid her Qs and he stun.
Yasuo
Level 1, try to poke him with your Q while avoiding his Q's. Your Q is both longer and wider range than Yasuo's. Dodge his tornadoes. Let Yas dominate level 2. You'll win from lvl 3 and up. This matchup is actually very easy, it all depends on who gets more hits onto each other.
Fizz
Bait or don't get hit by Fizz's E so you won't take any dmg and he doesn't have any escape. Dodge Fizz's ult since it reveals you from shroud. Fizz ult = certain death. Kind of like Talon matchup first comes first serve.
Zed
Don't get hit by his W+E+Q combo as that does do a lot of dmg to you. And immediately shroud when he ults you. Reposition yourself in shroud so Zed doesn't get his full dmg onto you. Zed's Q do less dmg to the second target it hits, so stay behind minions. This matchup depends on who gets the most hit on the other
Qiyana
This is a 50-50 matchup. Play aggressive against her. Trade Q's with her and trade E's with her. As long as she doesn't ult you to a wall, you win 90% of the time. 10% being you getting bursted by her and you aren't able to trade back giving her free dmg on you.
Katarina
50-50 skill based matchup. Don't get hard combo by her. Predict her daggers and respond quick enough to her Shunpos. If Kat jumps to one of her daggers without hitting you, punish her for it by hitting her with a Q and look for a trade. As both her Q and W are on a pretty long cooldown so she won't be able to trade back. Remember that Katarina's R can hit you in shroud.
Viktor
Viktor has been really strong lately especially with First Strike. Don't get overly poked out. You can win level 5-6. Akali has enough dashes to avoid his stun.
Irelia
Be careful of her level 1 cheese as she can Q the 3 back wave minions and Q onto you giving her passive, which will lead her into autoing you to death. Don't get stunned by her E as that's the only way she can beat you after level 3.
Annie
Watch out of her stun. Her Q cooldown is pretty low. But if she uses her Q, you can go for a quick combo Q+AA+Q. Wither her down little by little. At level 6, try not to fall below 70% hp. Her full combo can do a lot of dmg.
Diana
For Diana, just don't try to hit her with her orbs up. Dodge her Q's early as it can do quite a bit of dmg and wither you down. You can bait her orbs by Qing her and walking to her as if you are trying to get your passive off. At level 4, you can bait Diana by letting her hit her Q and let her dash on to you. Respond with your E, and combo her from there. Level 6 and beyond you literally win assuming you don't make mistakes.
Cassiopeia
Bait and dodge her Q. Don't go for a trade if you get hit by her Q first pre-4. Predict her Ult and face away from it or get behind her. Do be careful of her W, as it negates half of your abilities. This matchup is more in Cass favor.
Corki
Corki's will try to auto you and hit you with his E. Don't try to trade at level 1-2. Level 3-5 you can trade if you hit an E assuming you didn't take too much dmg. At level 6, Akali slams.
Brand
Brand will try to poke up out with his W, or spread his E onto you and then stun you. His passive burn will show a afterimage of you in your shroud. At level 2-6, as long as Brand doesn't stun you and you hit your E he can't do too much as he is an immobile champ.
Vel'Koz
Just play safe while farming. Don't get poked with his Q. At from Level 4-6, Vel'koz is immobile so you can beat him.
Ahri
Don't get hit by her Electrocute proc lvl 1-2. Dodge charm = win lane. ALWAYS HIT YOUR E's BECAUSE HER ULT WILL ALLOWED HER TO ESCAPE FROM YOUR WRATH.
Xerath
Xerath will want to shove you in your tower and poke you. Don't let him do that and don't let him line you and your minions up so that he cannot his both of you and the minions. Try to bait his stun by walking straight to him and either side step or E. Once his stun is down you'll win easily as he is an all skillshot champ. Xerath E down = win lane :)
Yone
Play aggressive. Yone is easier than Yasuo. Try to always poke with your Q lvl 1 and dodge his knock up. Only time you won't abuse him with Q is when you don't have energy or need to use it for CSing. When he uses E and then tries to knock you up, respond with your E. Recast your E if he goes back to his body and combo him from there. Do be careful of his E+R as he can start to beat you down with his Qs and Auto. Though most of the time you win anyways as long as you have your ult and shroud.
Lissandra
Lissandra is easy. Like a Xerath matchup just don't let her line you and your minions up and hit you with her Q. Other than that, she can't really out trade you. Just be careful when diving her at level 6 as she can ult you under tower and kill you. Do be mindful of her R+Q+W combo as it does do quite a lot of dmg.
Anivia
Dodge Stun = Win.. you might not be able to kill her with her passive before level 6.
Lux
Lux will poke you from base. If a Lux plays safe, you can't kill her. At level 6, you can try to dive her, but that is if you can dodge her stun. If the Lux plays super safe and stays under tower, just shove and roam. Give her a reason to leave her tower.
Rumble
From level 1-3, try to avoid his flamethrower, if he tries to E you, just get behind minions. Level 4-5 if you aren't low, you can beat him if you hit your E. Level 6 you destroy him.
Aurelion Sol
Dodge stun and play aggressive when he uses his W.
Ekko
Don't get stunned. If Ekko tries to E onto you, respond with your E. His R is the only problem as he can survive your all-ins and possibly turn the fight.
Veigar
Don't get stunned by cage and dodge skill shots.
Twisted Fate
Pick-A-Card down = Win Lane (his roam at lvl 6 is very strong so be wary)
Malzahar
Malzahar literally can't do anything pre-6. Just dodge his Q and his virus spell. His voidling can be one shotted so you get free gold. At level 4, if you hit your E, he can't do anything if you get on top of him assuming you aren't low. At level 6, his ult does no dmg and won't do anything to you unless he catches you under tower.
Zed
Zed jungle is worst than Talon. Literally troll pick. Unless Zed gets fed early your team will hardly get any objectives done. I would recommend to OPGG check them before game starts. Or go with my logic, "If the player isn't ZED99, dodge the game."
Karthus
Terrible ganks unless the enemy is shoving, or they're a Karthus OTP. Recommend to OPGG check first before game starts.
Talon
Useless if he doesn't gank, especially after JG Nerfs. Bad late game.
Morgana
Morganas stun lets you get free dmg off
Amumu
My favorite Junglerto have when I play Akali. Amumu's engage and stun just goes so well with Akali's kit. Like Ivern, if Amumu hits his stuns you'll be able to hit all of your abilities.
Leona
Stun! Aggressive!
Sett
Great engager. Good for tanking enemy team while you flank the back line.
Irelia
Very good TOP lane if the player is good. Great engager and can carry.
Ivern
Ivern 2rd is my favorite Jungler to have when I play Akali. I love his stun since you can go onto the enemy and guarantee to hit your E, which means you'll most likely get a kill. I also love how Ivern can give you Blue Buff as well. If the Ivern is good and aggressive, it's even better.
Lulu
Perfect Ult!!
Yuumi
Yuumi is just straight up broken. She'll enable you to 1v5.
Yorick
Yorick is my personal favorite Top Laner. He abuses HullBreaker very well. If he isn't super far behind, he'll pressure the map a lot and it'll always take 2+ enemies to stop him. This means that you and your team can take objectives and also pressure the map very hard as well.
