When using Draven, players usually cannot beat the speed of Akali's movement so it is really difficult for Draven to auto attack onto Akali.
Miss Fortune
Easy One Shot as MF has nothing to counter Akali
Nidalee
EASY PZ, Sit behind minions and dodge her spears. Free Kill as that's all Nidalee does.
Jhin
Jhin has to reload his gun and has really less Attack Speed.
Graves
Just like Jhin with reloading gun. Akali does way more damage than Graves as you can use your ult to sneak behind him and do all your abilities onto him.
Olaf
Olaf has CC that Akali counters. When Olag uses his raging thunder abilities, hide in your shroud as his abilities are on CD. Take your chance and kill him.
Tristana
You out hop her. Even if Tristana rocket jumps away, you have your shroud to move and your ult to jump from minion to minion. Plus, I suppose you can even use flash.
Taliyah
After being nerfed (no wave clear), Akali counters Taliyah so badly that Taliyah players will be tilted.
Twisted Fate
Dodging his cards will be easy as Akali has more movement speed than TF. As he stuns you with his yellow card, quickly hide in your shroud.
Sona
Even though Sona can poke people with high AP damage, you can still kill her as she has really low HP and you out damage her.
Aurelion Sol
Aurelion Sol's abilities are nothing but trash. If he tries to stun you, shroud out of the way.
Corki
Akali counters most ADCs. Corki is one of them. Easy Kill.
Karthus
To be honest, Karthus is just straight up the noobest champion ever. Idk why Riot even created this type of champion. Akali counters him just like Aurelion Sol. But dodge his Qs by using shroud.
Kog'Maw
Just a regular ADC that Akali counters.
Lux
Easy Kill as Lux is almost the same as Sona. If you can dodge Lux's snares almost all the time, then it's GG on your lane.
Morgana
After Morgana uses her Q, burst in on her and that's an easy kill :)
Teemo
After hitting level 6, you can basically one shot him.
Ziggs
Ziggs has bombs that will annoy the crap out of you. Hit level 6 and kill this bomb head.
Xerath
After using his stun, go in for him with your ult but make sure to dodge his abilities as they do insane damage towards you.
Veigar
Shroud out of Veigar's E and burst in on him when you have the chance.
Fizz
Use Zhonya to avoid his ult and shroud to avoid his abilities.
Fiddlesticks
Avoid his fears, burst in on him at level 6 as he is a one shot.
Gangplank
Avoid his barrels and go in on him at level 6.
Jarvan IV
Shroud out of his ult. Poke him until half health bar. Take your chance and go in.
Karma
Just like Sona. Avoid her Q and W and go straight in as she is a one shot.
Kassadin
Out run Kassadin with Ult and Shroud. Dodge his abilities as they will harm you.
Kayle
Try making Kayle pop his ult. With no Kayle ult, you can easily kill him.
Orianna
Avoid her Q and R. This is an easy kill.
Renekton
Shroud to avoid his slices and ult. You will outdamage this crocodile.
Ryze
His abilities take time to cast onto you so Akali's ult will come handy as you will be behind him doing all your damage.
Varus
Just another easy ADC kill.
Viktor
Avoid his trap and Q. Akali will do more wipe out Viktor as Viktor takes time to cast his abilities.
Zyra
Avoid her roots and it will be an easy kill.
Yorick
Shroud out of his trap, You will outdamage Yorick easily.
Jax
Shroud when Jax has his stun about to go off. In shroud, Jax will have a difficult time trying to auto attack you.
Azir
His ult will block you from going onto him.
Brand
He will sometimes outpoke you. Always dodge his abilities or else he will stun you.
Cho'Gath
Avoid knock ups and silence. If not avoided, this will eventually be a free kill for Cho.
Cassiopeia
Avoid her pokes as he poison is really strong.
Heimerdinger
He will outpoke you with his guns and his abilities. Try going in when he has low health and mana especially when his guns aren't around.
Katarina
Kata's ult can still work even if you're in your shroud hiding. Try escaping by jumping onto enemy minion or shrouding to escape.
Galio
Knock ups and taunts will counter you a lot so be sure to hide in your shroud when he does this.
Kha'Zix
Stealth will counter you as Kha could be anywhere. Kha also does as much damage as Akali.
Vel'Koz
Avoid most of Vel's knock ups. You can easily escape his ult by shrouding out of his ult's range.
Swain
Avoid his traps and Q. Get mostly magic penetration as Swain is pretty tanky.
Syndra
Stuns will counter Akali especially those orbs. Get Mercury's Treads and avoid most of Syndra's abilities. She has high CD so go in right away after she casts an ability.
Anivia
This bird's ult has a huge range which will counter you. Rebirth will annoy the crap out of you so be sure the poke Anivia a lot. Be sure to waste her Rebirth as this is the thing that protects her.
Annie
Avoid her stuns by shrouding when she is about to stun you. Tibbers is the main problem you will face against Annie.
Kennen
Shroud when Kennen is about to activate his W. This is because he may be about to stun you. When he uses ult, you MUST shroud out of his ult or in his ult or else Kennen will have the advantage of kills over you.
Zilean
Avoid his time bombs as two bombs on you will stun you.
Zed
Zed's W and damage together will create a huge counter towards you. Avoid his abilities by shrouding some place safe.
Ahri
Ahri's charm will counter you. Shroud immediately when this happens.
Diana
Diana has really hard CC so dodge all of her Qs as most likely she will ult onto you after hitting Q on you.
Irelia
Irelia's W will stun you after she hops onto you. Irelia has insane healing so don't underestimate her.
Lissandra
Lissandra's mini rework a few months ago is now a threat to Akali. This is because Lissandra can now cast more abilities as she has bonus mana.
LeBlanc
LeBlanc's snares are really powerful. Avoid her Qs as that creates an ability onto you that LB can auto and do damage.
Pantheon
Pantheon will outpoke you as he can hop onto you and stun while hitting E onto you. When he is about to hop onto you, you must immediately shroud.
Yasuo
Yasuo is not a big counter to Akali. Yasuo's windwall will only counter you throwing a mark onto him. This is your main move. So try fooling him by wasting his windwall as he has high CD for W.
Gragas
Gragas is a fat man with all these kinds of barrels. So be sure to dodge them. If he ults onto you, make sure to shroud and ult jump from minion to minion to escape if his ult pushed you all the way back to enemy lane.
Ekko
Ekko has way more damage than you as his ult can save him many times.
Malzahar
Malz is like the most annoying champion of all time as he has a noob ult that will suppress you.
Jayce
Jayce will outpoke Akali. Jayce is also tanky but does high damage so this will be a hard champion to kill.
Urgot
New rework is way too OP. Urgot will out tank you and out poke you as Urgot's new W is OP.
Riven
Riven is tanky yet also high damage with lots of CC. Avoid most of her abilities!
Lee Sin
His abilities will let him see you in your shroud. Lee Sin may be the hardest jungler you will have to deal with as he is like an annoying bug who won't come off you. Avoid his Q to be followed :)
Lulu
Polymorphs are really annoying as you can't really do anything about it.
Talon
Talon's abilities will do a lot more damage than expected. Unlike Zed you can kill and die, Talon can just ult away.
Wukong
Wu Kong's W will fool you and his ult will mess all of your abilities up.
Vladimir
Vlad is just annoying when he is in his W. It is hard to lock onto him when he is in W.
Hi there! My name is Justin and I am an Akali main. I've been an Akali main for about 2 years and I've experienced many changes throughout seasons with Akali. I am currently 13 years old and will be turning 14 in September 2018. I live on the west side of Canada and I play on the NA server. I'm currently Silver 2 and I hope to achieve Gold by the end of Season 8!
