well i have to disagree with you. the way i built her works best out of the other builds i tested.

Firstly, I'd like to point out she is a Hybrid and not a 50/50 AD/AP Carry, she is not DPS based, and a Youmou's and Phantom Dancer is not required on a burst-assassin such as Akali. This isn't a decent new meta, because it's stupid, as it doesn't utilize her skillset. Her E is the only ability that has AD, and that's not a very good utilization.

Ah very good points. I will look through it and make changes at some point, I am really busy right now with work, but when I have time I will sit down and add the stuff you requested.

Let's just take it one step at a time. So let's focus on the mastery part first just go through a brief run down and say why you take the talents you do and your reason for not grabbing some like the 10% magic penetration from arcane knowledge.

For items I was thinking of just explaining why you grabbed the items. You already have an example up above, about your reason for grabbing the Phantom Dancer. So just do something similar, I'll give another example using the spirit visage.

Spirit Visage - It gives you some health and magic resistance which helps your survival ability, it gives a moderate amount of cooldown reduction, and finally the passive increases your healing received through lifesteal, spell vamp, healing, and regeneration which goes very well with the AD side of your passive.

Then for the item replacements mention items that could be used instead. For example if your up against a heavy CC team Mercury's Treads will help you more than Berserker's Greaves.

Thanks Specolar, this was my first attempt to put all the info up. I agree with you I can give more incite for masteries and team fights. I don't know what other info I can give for items chosen, what would you suggest I do to fix it?

Wow I really like your guide, I can't wait to try it out just have to get more IP for the runes. For once a really nice hybrid build for Akali that doesn't end up focusing more on ability power than attack damage. I like how you mentioned you tried the top guides to compare with this one.

The main reason I like your build is you actually try to keep your AP and AD as close together as possible. Where in other builds the only times they get AD for that half of her passive, is from runes and the amount on the Hextech Gunblade.

I have a couple of ideas you could add to make this build better:

1. Give more detail to items chosen
2. Give possible item replacements (Mercury's Treads?)
3. Give some more ideas on what to do in team fights
4. Give more detail about your Mastery choice

Once again, well done! Can't wait to see your reply.
