Akali Counter: Akali is a high mobility assassin leaping through shadows to reach targets and has a very good burst-y damage and is a hybrid damage dealer dealing sufficient amount of physical and magic damage. She also has in-built sustain in her kit, and a damage modifier to allow her to burst her targets more efficiently which combined with her assassin mark deals an insane amount of damage. She also has stealth allowing her to think of a strategy while staying in stealth to kill up her targets inside a specific area.

Tips To Deal With Akali Counter 8.19

1) Akali’s W/Twilight Shroud grants her invisibility in a specific area and movement speed as well while slowing enemies who travel in this shroud. Although invisible, Akali will still receive damage inside the shroud from area of effect abilities or skillshots, so throw them in there to damage her or force her to move from the dangerous location and potentially out of stealth giving you a chance to attack her.

2) Akali’s stealth can easily be rendered useless by carrying an Oracle’s Alteration that shows silhouettes of her in her current location and also of any movement she does during stealth allowing you to easily follow her and making her extremely easy to read. An early buy will help significantly in going for fights against Akali.

3) Champions that can reveal stealth easily like Lee Sin, by using his abilities will easily make Akali seen by all and even targetable making her stealth almost completely useless and she won’t be able to travel in her shroud as freely.

4) Akali’s kit is made to kill and harass squishies with the amount of burst it provides. So picking a champion that builds tanky and has good resistances in it’s build is an extremely good choice and shuts down almost completely any chance to snowball off her lane.
