[quote=Bryun][quote=Rudmed] [quote=AngelPixe] Guide For (champion):Akali Why I'd like this to be Reviewed:Its my first ever guide,I asked some of my friends to look at it when it came out and I fixed a lot of the errors I did in the past.I also add two sections and im not sure if they are good or if my guide is good in general.Im still planning on adding some more sections,but I wanted to see what you will say first ^_^ What I'd like you to focus on:Anything please and thank you! Guide Link: http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/shadow-killer-on-duty-85584 [/quote] As a fellow Akali player I'm just gonna point a few things out. 1. No early [[doran blade]] for even more spell vamp/lifesteal? 2. Ignite for the squishes that try to run away? Akali is one of the best pursuers in the game. There should be no running away, they should be dead. Maybe grab an exhaust for the 1v1 encounters? I know ignite add extra damage, and I'm not sure if the 10 ap is worth the mastery point. 3. In your skills section there is probaly no need to list [[Twilight shroud]] twice. Acutally looking at it now, you do it a bit. There is really no need. 4. Rageblade does not gain stacks only off auto-attacks, but abilities as well. So your entire burst adds stacks to the rageblade. 5. No early [[hextech revolver]] for the extra spell vamp and AP? 6. You don't mention champions who might be able to see your through [[twlight shroud]]. For example [[Twisted Fate]]'s [[Destiny]], [[Warwick]]'s [[blood scent]], [[Nidalee]]'s and [[Caitlyn]]'s traps. An [[Akali]] revealed in a teamfight is a dead one. [/quote] 1. [[Boots of Speed]] and 3 [[Health Potion]]s is a much better combo than [[Doran's Blade]] imo, expecially if you have your passives activated already. 2. [[Ignite]] is just a useful summoner spell overall, and people do escape early levels due to towers. [[Akali]] is squishy she can't dive them just yet and her early game decides how she will later on.[/quote]

[quote=Rudmed]@Bryun: 1. Just saying she would get more spellvamp if she got a doran's blade early on. 2. [[Exhaust]] slows them down as well, making it harder to escape. They also do less damage if they turn trying to fight.[/quote]

They also do less damage if they turn trying to fight. [/quote] 1. I don't see why you would do that though if you had both passives o.o (Unless you're so far behind). 2. It's just all a matter of preference. I like [[Ignite]] > [[Exhaust]].[/quote]

[quote=da_neo][[Akali]] is a champion where it's important to have BOTH passives 's up at start. They improve her lane phase greatly. But there are several ways to activate both. All with another playstyle. If you want to play it save I would suggest: [[Greater Quintessence of Vigor]]x3 [[Greater Mark of Potency]]x9 [[Greater Seal of Potency]]x9 [[Greater Glyph of Potency]]x9 With [url=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/mastery-tree-planner#&tree1=0-1-0-3-4-0-0-1-0-0-0-0-0-0&tree2=0-2-0-3-0-4-2-1-1-4-0-3-0-1&tree3=0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0]9/21/0[/url] Starting with [[Doran's Blade]] it provides 20AP, 10AD, 8.1hp/5sec regen, 15% magic pen, 148HP, 3% lifesteal,6 armor, 4 magic resist, 2% dodge, and 3% cooldown reduction. For a balanced setup go for: [[Greater Quintessence of Vigor]]x3 [[Greater Mark of Insight]]x9 [[Greater Seal of Evasion ]]x9 [[Greater Glyph of Potency]]x9 [url=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/mastery-tree-planner#&tree1=1-0-0-3-4-0-1-1-0-0-0-0-0-0&tree2=0-2-0-3-0-4-2-1-1-4-0-3-0-0&tree3=0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0]10/20/0[/url] Starting with [[Doran's Blade]] using ignite will trigger your second passive. It provides 10AD, 10AP, 8.55 and 15% magic pen, 148HP, 8.1hp/5sec regen, 3% lifesteal, 6 armor, 4 magic resist, around 9% dodge, and 3% cooldown reduction. When you don't like Ignite and want to take exhaust I suggest [[Greater Quintessence of Vigor]]x1 [[Greater Quintessence of Potency ]]x2 [[Greater Mark of Insight]]x9 [[Greater Seal of Evasion ]]x9 [[Greater Glyph of Potency]]x9 [url=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/mastery-tree-planner#&tree1=0-1-0-3-4-0-0-1-0-0-0-0-0-0&tree2=0-2-0-3-0-4-2-1-1-4-0-3-0-1&tree3=0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0]9/21/0[/url] With [[Doran's Blade]] it provides 10AD, 20AP, 8.55 and 15% magic pen, 148HP, 2.7hp/5sec regen, 3% lifesteal, 6 armor, 4 magic resist, around 9% dodge, and 3% cooldown reduction. When you are an aggressive player (highly recommended for Akali) go for [[Greater Quintessence of Strength]]x3 [[Greater Mark of Insight]]x9 [[Greater Seal of Evasion]]x9 [[Greater Glyph of Focus]]x9 [url=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/mastery-tree-planner#&tree1=1-1-0-3-4-4-0-1-3-0-3-0-0-1&tree2=0-1-0-3-0-4-0-1-0-0-0-0-0-0&tree3=0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0]21/9/0[/url] Starting with [[Amplyfying Tome]] it provides 10AD, 20AP, 8.55 and 15% magic pen, 6 armor, 2 magic resist, around 9% dodge, and 8% cooldown reduction. Advantage: You don't waste money on [[Doran's Blade]], but this is extremly squishy. I think Exhaust>Ignite on Akali. Till level 6 you seriously lack chasing methods. Past level 6 it's great to do more damage (improved Exhaust) and in Teamfight it renders the AD-Carry somewhat useless[/quote]

I just think you shouldn't waste an item trying to activate your passives early, when I can just start building into something early. (Granted [[Amplifying Tome]] builds into many AP items.) And again. Summoner Spells are just a preference.[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]o.O My thread. Has other people reviewing in it! Yay!!!!! Keep up the good work, guys![/quote]

Of course you can use all sorts of different runes/masteries and starting Items. Hell you can even start with [[Doran's Ring]] to activate both. I just wanted to clarify that each start up fits another playstyle. There's is not only ONE way to play a champion. Some like to hide in the bush and wait for oppurtunities. Other's bait the enemy. Other's like to make the enemy overconfident. And others like to go roaming. EVERY Champ has different playstyles. I just think it is REALLY important on Akali, as she's the only Champion whose TWO passives define her, regardless of ap/hybrid/ad.[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]@Rudmed, D: I missed the Jungling section because it was a part of the Farming section (which is fine). I just thought it'd be more in-depth, as most tanks are always in the jungle.[/quote]

[/quote] Yes it is my guide, BUT I was just stating that there are ways other then starting with items to activate both passives at once. You don't need to take the same runes and masteries, for all I care you can use whatever you want. You don't need to tell me that champions play in a different way, I'm pretty sure not everyone plays the same. At least we agree on one thing. She [b]needs[/b] her passives.[/quote]
