Views: 2641 Trinity force on Akali, yay or nay?
|
Was wondering if Trinity Force is a viable pick on Akali, it gives good stats for her and she also get the Sheen proc, and it also means that you dont have to get any ad runes in your rune pages to get the double passive at level 1 as you can start with Long Sword.
What are your opinions, yay or nay?

As for myself, Trinity Force on Akali would require you to build her AD to take full advatage of the item.
It's actually quite the opposite. Since Sheen and Trinity Force procs scale only on a champion's base AD (and therefore cannot be increased by anything except levels), Triforce is actually a great item for champions that can't afford to fit in much offense into their builds. It also works with offensive builds, but doesn't have much synergy with them other than the small amount of crit chance from Zeal.
The reason you don't get it on Akali is simply because Lich Bane is better. She scales much better with high amounts of AP and Lich allows you to avoid the rather unnecessary Zeal and (to a lesser extent, but still not that great) Phage components of triforce. Zeal doesn't synergize with Akali at all while Phage is inferior to Rylai's Crystal Scepter considering Akali's single-target, low cooldown abilities.
The only AD item that you should consider getting on Akali imo is Hextech Gunblade. Other stuff like Trinity Force and Guinsoo's Rageblade isn't a great idea. You might be able to get away with a couple Doran's Blades for early lane presence, but I think your only late game AD should come from gunblade.
EDIT: You should try to proc both Twin Disciplines with runes and masteries only. Starting with something like Doran's Blade, Long Sword or Amplifying Tome is not a great idea. You should be starting Boots pretty much every game.
No.
The master has spoken.
As for myself, Trinity Force on Akali would require you to build her AD to take full advatage of the item. there are two problems with that, autoattacks are part of her burst but not her main damage source, which are her skills, and two, she only has one AD scaling skill, the spellvamp from her passive is useless if she doesn't do damage with her skills.
