Hey, just to say that with teleport you can get away from anything! Just cast the shroud on yourself and if there is no other option TP out! I did it last game and it was hilarious!

is akali still worth buying after the nerf ?
and what is main defrences betweens akali and katarina now ?
thanks for the guide


She's still a strong pick in Bronze, Silver, Gold, but do not expect much. The nerf kinda destroyed her, but fortunately, there's a buff on the PBE. When and if it will go live, i will update the guide!

Yeah I think this guide might need slight updates after her recent nerfs. Thanks for the general idea though.

Didn't say that you must never take it, but the other items deal more damage or has more utility, that's all. For example Rylai has more utility (And give you more AP), Lich Bane deals more damage, Zhonya and Gunblade are the main items.

Usually you may take Abyssal if the enemy team it's composed with more AP than AD, but in this meta, that's really rare.

What would you prefer not building to take the Abyssal Scepter? Maybe Rylai, but now that Akali range is 700, i think the slow it's more useful than ever. ^^

Btw, you just reminded me that i need to add the "Optional" in the build! :D

And why no?
It gives you ap, mr to make you tankier, and lower mr by 20 which is a lot on squishy targets.
It's not like it's a bad item if you ask me o_o

If you notice i wrote something on the Null-Magic Mantle.
Why no Abyssal? Because it's not a good item on her, compared to the others. If you wanna know why not that instead of something else, just ask. :3 But you need to oneshot people, abyssal it's not the best choice for that. :P

Your credits picture has a nip slip. Pretty sure that isn't allowed here, just a heads up, I really don't care though.

You never mentioned how to do a full damage trade as Akali which is to land a mark, then wait for your cooldown for a second one before going in. Q, wait, R, AA, Q, E. Of course the enemy is going to run as soon as you land a Q on them, but if you let them push this works nearly 100% of the time. Especially when you sit in a bush as you hit 6 so they don't even see you 6 yet.


To be honest, i spent so much time doing the images + the matchups, that i didn't even tought about it. I mean, i said that pre six you need to harass them with Q and try to proc the passive.. and i tought it was enough, since Akali combo is well known. But maybe i'll add it later when i'll modify the guide. :D


so what about dorans starts. ( Doran's Shield and Doran's Blade) also Long Sword 3 pot? If you can bully early vs melees?


Well this.. is a bit embarassing. The starting items were the first thing i had done.. then i've created the full build. After a while i've realized that i had to add more of them, but in the end i was so concentrated on doing the matchups that i completely forgot about it. Sorry. I will add more option for sure. :3

Thanks again for the suggestions!
