How is Akali Jungle?

[quote=Kalaaver]I saw a guide for Akali Top/Mid/Jungle and i'm wondering is [[akali]] jungle any good? It seems stupid to me because she would be useless pre 6 right? This was the guide http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/akali-s4-hyper-carry-mid-top-jungle-364777 so is it any good? Please don't answer unless you are Gold and above i don't want answers from my own elo lol.[/quote]

[quote=GrandmasterD]Well she defo fits this jungle meta a bit better. Most junglers farm a lot before hitting 6 or until they got their spirit item. Also, junglers are more focused on doing damage rather than being bulky CC monsters. I don't really know her clear speed and I know that she's prone to invades so I doubt it's really good but no doubt you can do well with it. I actually had an akali jungle on my team today who did really well so sort of basing part of my answer on that.[/quote]

[quote=Best Teemo NAA]Velkoz jungle is better.[/quote]

[/quote] Yeah i was already thinking she would be weak to invades, but at lower elo there is less a chance of that. So i guess its a skill thing, well it wouldn't hurt to try it out in a normals.[/quote]

[/quote] For runes I'd probably go Hybrid pen marks, AD quints, armour seals and magic pen glyphs. AP or Mres glyphs seem good too.[/quote]

[quote=Mooninites]I've played her in the jungle fairly recently (like 2 weeks ago). She's kind of similar to someone like WW, you just farm until 6. Her clear speed isn't great but she has good sustain. Her post-6 ganks are godlike. [[Vi]] is one of the best level 6 junglers, but I actually think akali's level 6 outclasses her, the problem is getting there.[/quote]

If you are facing lee sin then you are screwed if he has any talent at all. Until you get your first jungle item, you are in for some hardly any damage. The bigger issue is that even at lvl 6 you don't have your first item slow or Revolver for more sustain. Having said that at low elo's she is freakign deadly because people don't ward, and you can snow ball into a lane. In the end, her problems are legit. She is Kha'zik without the escape. Once you dive you are dead in team fights. A diamond buddy of mine said it best. If you are facing Lee Sin, your team doesn't have initiation, or the opposing team has a bunch of CC than don't take her jungle. In team fights you have one job sneak around to the back and kill their adc and mid laner. Once that's done you get out and hopefully your team isn't completely dead.[/quote]

[quote=C4 Lasty]She wouldn't be a strong jungler simply based off of her ability to clear. She would also take stupid damage from her first clear which would leave her susceptible to invades. In solo que where a game can be won or lost before champions hit 6 Akali would be a very weak pick as a jungler. She can't gank pre 6 and her post 6 ganks wouldn't be very strong unless your laners bring heavy cc to the party.[/quote]

[/quote] In any elo pre Gold, I don't think people are smart enough to know akali's weaknesses. :P[/quote]

[quote=XeresAce]^in any elo pre high plat, you mean. People in gold make as many mistakes and underestimate/overestimate champions just as much as in silver hue :D[/quote]
