Akali Build Guide by Pikachu Hat

BIG FRECKIN UPVOTE!

Really, really good guide. I like that you have a ton to read and alot of repeated information about the character, this is the way for me to learn playing new champions. And with akali, I'm already getting a champ myself:D So keep posting this awesome guides ninja! ;)

Wow, the things I can say about this guide.

Not starting with both passives active is bad. It's easy to accomplish, but you just blow right on past it.

Havoc is garbage. You could at least put the points into Brute Force or something. At least attempt to get something productive.

AP per level runes are... really pretty bad overall. Quints don't catch up with flat until level 13, which is WAY past when runes are effective. And AP per level marks and seals are just garbage in general. They're secondary runes, so they are 1/2 to 1/3 as effective as primary. It's a waste. AP per level glyphs are fine, though.

If you don't get any AD items, which is generally fine on Akali, you really need the AD in the runes and masteries for the sake of triggering her passive. That early spell vamp is a godsend, and it only gets better as the game progresses.

And you have got to pick up some resistances somewhere. HP is useless without some defense, and eventually people learn to focus you. You talk about how GA isn't that great, but it has some of the most cost effective resistances, along with a giant "don't bother killing me" halo. You do mention some other good resistance items, but I'd make it more of a priority than you're giving it. At least get some armor somewhere.

Pretty much all I've got to say. Work on things and I'd be willing to change my vote.

I believe you forgot a con of Akali that is rather important.

She is affected by the Law of Inverse Ninja Strength :O

It must be added immediately!

Duly noted good sir!

I am on it!

I can see where you're coming from but your comment leads me to believe you didnt actually read the guide, just skimmed or skipped it completely.

I talk about how to, and why starting with her passive active is good. I also mention building to counter your opponents. (like building armor for AD enemies)

You also say that at level 13 runes are "WAY past" their effective stand points, But my runes and masteries provide me with over 100 extra ability power which is, in fact, better than all of the in game items except for the deathcap. but that also increases the effectiveness of my runes. Personally i believe that is quite effective.

how do you add pictures to a build? im trying to make my very first Olaf build.

Nice guide, love the build and the information you give. Going to +1, but I would like to see the guide made a bit more pretty in the future. =P
