Darius
A good Darius won't let you breath. His Q does the same damage that you deal with Q and E. He's naturally tanky and he can one shot you with his ridiculous true damages. Rush Seeker's Armguard, start with Cloth Armor and five potions. Ask for an early gank, you really need it. If you manage to kill him pre six, you can play more aggressively. Just remember to always use your W after you've ulted him once. If you get ahead a bit, you can stomp him easily later.
Introduction
First of all, Akali is not that easy as people think. It's surely easy to learn, and all of her skills are target ones.. easy to land. But your huge gape closer could make you end up in a really bad position. The map must be warded well. And in teamfights you're easy shotted. A good team will surely place a Vision Ward in your Twilight Shroud or use the Oracle's Lens, denying your possibility to ult, hide and repeat the combo.
I once used Garen against Akali top in ranked, completely owned her and being called "noob champ" by her. My team replied with: "You're using Akali and you call the others noob?". Well, trust me, Garen is much easier than her. And as a Wukong main, i can assure you that even the monkey it's easier that Akali. You like her? Just play, and don't get mad by some random strangers that surely does not know how to play her.
Akali is an awesome champ if you want to raise your elo from bronze to gold. With her combo you can kill almost everybody. Just do a Mark of the Assassin on them, Shadow Dance and Crescent Slash. Always use your Twilight Shroud to cover yourself and be careful for Vision Ward and Oracle's Lens!
- Greater Mark of Hybrid Penetration: Since Akali does hybrid damage, those runes scales pretty well with her. But you can also play with Greater Mark of Magic Penetration, if you think you'll not need the armor pen.
- Greater Glyph of Magic Resist: Not that this surprise you, right? You need the flat magic resist glyphs to survive in early with the AP laners (Or from a gank). Also, take in account the Greater Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist if you aim to the late game, or the Greater Glyph of Ability Power if you want to go full damage. (I won't suggest it thought.)
- Greater Seal of Armor: You need this most of the time, since a lot of laners are AD based. After a recent patch, even the Greater Seal of Health are good, but you should really use the armor one if you want to survive in lane.
Be sure to last hit every single minion, and don't get zoned by the enemies. Try to reach level two faster than your opponent, so you can zone him by using Mark of the Assassin. He'll probably back from you to avoid your Crescent Slash. But don't spam too much or you'll run out of energy. Sometimes just trigger your mark with an auto attack instead of your E. IMPORTANT! Warding Totem on the bush at 3:10 or a little before when they got a fast jungling clear jungler. Like Vi, for example.
