Hey, I was taking a look at your guide and saw you don't have the Kled matchup listed. Akali is a matchup I face from time to time, but I often win against them since they won't know how to interact with Kled. I'll give you my POV on this matchup, which you could implement however you'd wish :)

As Kled, I want to look to land either my E or Q to successfully trade with Akali, since this reveals her in her W. Without these two spells, I am utterly useless against her. Dodging requires a well-timed E from Akali, preferably to the side, since a backwards E still allows my Q to land.
Akali should look to run Kled down with Q when Kled's E is down, but make sure to hold Akali's E to get out of Kled's Q tether. In my opinion, the biggest mistake Akali players make is not holding their E and end up getting caught by Kled's Q pull.
If Akali ever uses her ult, I should already be dismounted or the first cast should dismount me. Why? Kled's dismounted kit cannot reveal hidden enemies, which makes it (nearly) impossible to remount. This gives Akali W much more value. Additionally, Akali R can easily execute the vulnerable dismounted Kled.
In case Kled ever ults, Akali's W will make her completely invulnerable to the charge, since Kled R cannot hit hidden enemies.

Do with this information as you please and be sure to let me know if you have any questions.

Hi ! I don't have Kled as a listed matchup because I have honestly never faced him in midlane.
But that's definitely some valuable advice that I'll keep in mind for my games, thank you for your comment!

Hi, amazing guide ! Thank you !

hi! as a guide creator, i was wondering how you did that ombre effect on your words? (looking at your summoner spells chapter) it looks really cool, and i've never seen anyone do that before, it's really impressive :)!

Hi! Thank you so much :)
Unfortunately I don't remember who I learned to do the ombre effect from as it was years ago :c From my code it looks like I just straight up individually colored each letter, probably through playing around with hexcodes and just going from darker to lighter shades.

My code for the word flash

I'm sorry if this isn't the most effective way of doing it, maybe you have a higher chance of finding the answer you're looking for on the Mobafire discord..

By the way I looked at your neeko guide, it's without a doubt the most beautiful guide I've ever seen on this site :d

As someone who used to main Akali I wish I saw this back when i used to main her. What an amazing guide brosky and it well deserves that 10/10 rating. Just curious whats your rank since it mentions here your diamond, not that there is anything wrong with being diamond but for a guide to be this extensive and ur diamond. I would be shocked and can only say well done and enjoy the rest of your day

Hi! Thank you so much :)
I actually just reached diamond two weeks ago after being hardstuck for years xd though I stopped playing ranked from season 12 till season 15. I've been learning a lot more about the game recently and really want to get better and add more stuff to my guide. Hopefully master next season :D

goodluck u got this brosky!

I have a question. Is assassin/AD akali still viable? i haven't seen it in a while, especially in high elo.

(9) |

Almost all of Akali's abilities scale with AD so it is technically viable.. but definitely not worth building over AP :D Your R2 only scales with magic damage, you would be sacrificing a lot of burst / one shot potential

got it. akali is a burst champion after all so it makes since. i saw at one point ad was built but ap is very powerful on her. thank you.

I registered on this web-site just to thank you for the guide. Having a lot of fun playing Akali in normal game even though I lose a lot, but who cares what's happening in normal games when I only learn :)

Still a very solid and useful guide, really beginner-friendly, thank you so much!

This guide is AWSOME! i hope i can get better with akali after reading this!

Hii ! Thank you so much ! I guarantee you, with or without the guide you will get better if you put your mind into it ! Good luck :)

good job budy, awesome guide!

Pretty good

Helpful guide

a perfect and complet guide for learn or mastery the champ

Hello, I have a question that i never understand, why do people run electtrocute on akali ? because with conqueror, just the R2 stacked 12 does more than the electrocute itself...

ur guide is awesome btw and have a good day ^^

(9) |

Hii ! Both runes are viable. Electrocute perfectly fits the assassin playstyle, and is mainly taken against squishy teams and/or melee matchups. The reason it's so popular is because you can abuse almost any melee champ mid with electrocute and get huge leads for yourself. Insane snowball potential and constant kill pressure especially when paired with Ignite.
As for Conqueror, it's more fitting when up against healing / tanky teams, where fights will last long enough to safely stack it and benefit from its healing.

I hope that answers your question, have a good day aswell and thanks for the comment ! :D

I think i'll try again with electrocute but I still don't think it's better, because we can stack conqueror very fast and damage apply to everyone and just not a single target, i'm gonna see ^^

Play a couple of game with electrocute and let me know how it went !

hi, i did so now, I think that my new game plan is:
play electrocute "almost" every game
and most important thing i didn't do before i read your guide is to dodge when their is more than 2 tanks in enemy team, yes conqueror is good against them but most of the time, tanks fed are uncontrolable.

but i still need to try to do some quick math and try if it's still good to run electrocute, and as i said it's easier to win a line with electrocute

Hi again ! Glad the guide helped !
