How is Akali in Ranked games?

[quote=BigDaddyPedro]Well pretty straight forward, I'm about to buy Akali (Teh Sexy Ninja Assassin chick lady) But I was just wondering how she is in ranked games? Does she get banned alot like Rammus Kata etc? (Im only level 29 so idk how it differs really from the play style in normal games)[/quote]

[quote=Considereth]Pretty damn good at solo q.[/quote]

[quote=Gravefury]pretty useless lategame shutdown with one item don't complain if u can't carry lategame :P[/quote]

[quote=SatansFate]Insanely viable if played well.[/quote]

[quote=Trojan995]Akali is a very viable champion, and her best facet is that she can carry hard without relying heavily on teammates to keep her alive.[/quote]

[quote=BigDaddyPedro][quote=Gravefury] pretty useless lategame shutdown with one item don't complain if u can't carry lategame :P [/quote] I thought she would be stronger late game?[/quote]

[quote=AnIh]focus with oracle > akali .[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]Westrice is number 4 on the Solo queue ladder and he mains Akali.[/quote]

[quote=BigDaddyPedro]So I'm guessing she gets banned alot? Idk I need to find a main and I kinda like Akali yet I've seen her be concentrated during many battles.[/quote]

[quote=eXecute]Be warned though, akali is very easily killed. Squishy. When people figured out how to kill Akali, Westrice dropped 200+ points in ranked games. He worked it back with other champs as he kept learning new ones. I'm sure it's pretty viable for most ranked games, but it's not the easiest champ to carry with because she's a burst damage dealer who does rely on teammates to help her survive and win (because once that shroud runs out, you're dead more than likely).[/quote]
