Gunblade is no longer viable, and exhaust + ignite isn't either.

-food for thought

Please read my second review, and edit it to reflect the line separation and colouring and stuff. It will make your guide looks so much nicer :)

Um, screenshot the tga file normally with ctrl+prntscr, and then ctrl+v into an empty Paint canvas.

Save as png or bmp, then try uploading again to Imageshack or whichever file share host you're using :)

Constructive Criticism:

1) Welcome back :) In your guide you should really try to avoid using abbreviations like "u" for "you". You want to pass off as professional as possible.

2) When coding for multiple icons in the same block of text, I'd suggest using this formatting Oracle's Elixir as opposed to .

3) You need to add distinction between your subsections. At the moment, your spells, masteries and runes all leak into one another.

Some example coding that could make it better formatted:

Quoted:
Summoner Spells

I take offensive summoner spells rather than defensive because I find it comfortable and suits my playstyle despite her squishiness.

  • Ignite - It helps with your combo when your combo just brought your opponent with just a tad bit of hp and you pop ignite up. Guaranteed kill xD
  • Exhaust - Slows opponents and lets u extend your combo :)

Other Viable Choices:

  • Flash - Can be used both offensively and defensively xD
  • Ghost - Though i don't see much Akali users use this, it IS a good choice, but it doesnt help out that much comparing with other summoner spells.




Masteries

I build an offensive 21 / 9 / 0 for Akali for increasing the damage on her combo an as well as some points in defense for some durability.




Runes

Here i explain why i chose these runes. Although there are other choices as well and those will be listed as highlighted.
  • Greater Mark of Attack Damage: This helps your passive and it gives you spell vamp. Imagine you deal 450 magic damage from your , and say you have around 21% spell vamp. Now let's do some math:

    450 x 21% = 95

    It may not look that much, but combined with your abilities, you get a chunk of hp back from that very same combo aswell! Other marks, such as magic pens, armor pens work too, so you can try them out and see which one do you like.
  • Greater Seal of Armor: This makes Akali more durable in teamfights. Dodge Seals works well with Akali too.
  • Greater Glyph of Ability Power: Boosts your AP buff and you deal bonus magic damage with that buff. CD reduction works well, but i rarely use them :P
  • Greater Quintessence of Ability Power: Flat magic pens works too, along with flat health for durability.



4) Same as above with your Abilities and Skill Sequence section. You need some coding. Between each skill, how about adding in a separator, like this:


Code:
----------------------------

5) Your Luxury Items should be listed the same way as your core items to allow for continuatity.

6) Again with coding and your English skills fail a bit here, as you've repeated yourself. Make sure you give your text another read-through.

"Once you make your first recall back to base, buy your Boots and your Health Potions if you have the money. If not, at least have money to buy your Boots and Health Potions. Although this STILL doesnt give Akali enough survivability yet, She can harass more and you can try to attempt to kill when you have Shadow Dance ready."

7) I like how you've seperated the phases of the game into sections of progression though :)

8) Your "Laning with Champions" section is a bit confusing. At first I thought you meant "don't lane with these allies", but you mean "don't lane against these enemies". You might want to clear this up.

9) You should probably add in a gameplay section :) Also, thanks for the thank you and the credit! It's really appreciated. Make some more changes, and I promise you a +1

Constructive Criticism:

1) Where are your summoner spells?

2) Generally guides with Mejai's Soulstealer in it are downvoted because guides shouldn't utilise snowballing items.

3) Don't include the Lore.

4) There seems to be a lot of coding errors throughout your guide. Lots of empty space etc.

5) Abilities section should be after your summoner spells and pros/cons.

6) Skill Sequence should be under Abilities section

7) All your icon images are too big and look way out of place amongst the text.

8) Grammatical errors throughout guide, need to run it through some spell/grammar checks.
