When Westrice started abusing Akali in tournaments, people QQed a **** ton and Riot nerfed her. If you look at the nerfs they did to her and what has changed since then, you will realize that pretty much EVERYSINGLE nerf she got was reverted. Literally. lol. Pretty funny imo

@Embracing No you should still get AD early game AND at least Hextech Gunblade on her. She scales veeeeery well with AD. More spell vamp, more damage on autoattacks in two ways (basic attack and passive), more damage on Crescent Slash...

Thanks to TinyStar for the sig :3

I've always said that mid is optimal, mainly because she crushes most mids, but can't handle certain tops. It's just safer, and it's easier to roam from mid.

Thank you Miss Maw, CasterMaster and Arcana3 for the sweet sigs. I'd definitely recommend you to anyone looking for a nice sig.

I read the patch changes and decided she's a permaban. She already was boarderline ban before - s3 changes made it way too easy to reach level 6 without doing bad - and all she really needs is gunblade + warmog. She'll have level advantage so she's sure to win tfs alone.

It's just stupid, and I'm not having it. Get permabanned until riot narfs you, green hoar.

As a guy who hasn't played much Akali yet - curious whether you think she fits better at the moment top or mid. I know she can do both - but is she more optimal in one or the other? And what runes are you running on her now - mpen reds with ap quints? Thanks!


Mid lane is best for her because most mid laners are squishy. As an assassin, Akali has high burst. Champions with low health pools and resistances are more susceptible to burst and die as a result, while tankier champions can just . . . tank it, slap you, and walk away because they build health and resistances to counter your damage. Well, maybe that's an exaggeration once Akali hits six, but squishier champions are easier to kill.

As an AP caster, magic pen reds, health per level seals, flat magic resist glyphs, and ap quints are ideal against ap mids. If you're against an AD caster, switch out health per level for flat armor and flat magic resist for scaling AP glyphs in my opinion.
If I helped you out, +REP me ^_^

This is from the AP part of Twin Disciplines, not AD.

Let's say you have 0 AP, you deal 6% more damage on basic attacks.

You have 100 AD.
You deal 106 damage. 100 damage from basic attack, 6 damage from your passive.

Let's say now you buy an extra 100 AD, you will have 200 AD.
You deal 212 damage. 200 damage from basic attack, 12 damage from your passive.

When you get AD you increase the damage you do with your autoattack AND the damage that your passive does on each autoattacks.

:3. AD is much more important than people think it is on Akali. Hextech Gunblade is incredibly good on her.

I don't know why people ven bother going akali top. She can't burst a tanky champ like Darius or Garen.

Even if she uses her shroud they can stay there and spams aoe abilities all day. She's much better mid imho. Seeing an akali top if a free lane win for me. I don't like seeing her mid when she's on the enemy team. I always fear my mid will feed her.

Thanks to Amazing Monkey for the sig. Just like his name, he's amazing
