Beautiful guide

Hi Yamikaze! Great guide, the info's really easy to understand and your explanations are concise and to the point. Sadly, since Gunblade doesn't exist anymore, does that affect the build at all? Or does it stay the same? Additionally, what do you think about Rocketbelt over NH? Same damage, same component, but has magic pen over ability haste. Is it worth?

Good ****

Great guide. I'm curious, would you change your runes at all when taking night harvester as opposed to riftmaker?

I saw in the ability order image that you recommend leveling W over E. Is that right and, if so, can you explain so I know if it is something I should do or not. Because rn, it seems to me that leveling E for more dmg instead of a slightly longer W duration is better but that may also just be me not playing Akali efficiently since I'm still relatively new to the champ.

I feel kinda lost because some of the items (Hextech Revolver, Cutlass, Hextech Gunblade) are removed from the game. What should I buy now?? I have played now 3 matches with very random items and it hasn't worked out. I just keep dying and my damage is very low. And all the items are pretty expensive. I usually get like max 4k money in a game, so I wont be getting like any good items. Any suggestions on what I should buy or do? And also is there a way to buy items cheaper?

2 questions
1. When do I use inspiration or scorery as a secondary rune(top or mid)
2.How do I play against tanks at early game(5-20min)I started playing akali mid so I’m used to 1shoting people at 6

Hi.

1. I personally almost always go inspiration just for the gold efficiency. Tree is way too strong atm. Other akali players have also been running klepo vs melee matchups, you can try that as well.

2. You usually can't 1-shot tanks so just go for squishier targets. Jump on tanks after the carries are dead.
