incredibly detailed guide man, ty!

You are a freaking legend and the GOAT for this Mysterias!

Hi coach! I just wanted to tell you how gratefull I am for all the content you put out. I discovered you this season when I came back to league after some years away from the game. Your videos and guides alongside Curtis, the BBC podcast and Shok have made me a much better player in such a small amount of time. I feel like I'm playing at my best level ever, my view of the game has shifted and it's deeper than ever and I'm enjoying it more than ever before. Thank you and keep up the good work! Greatings from Spain!

Have been a very casual Akali player since season 2, when i started playing League, which was sometime after Diana was released and before Rengar whom came afterwards and 12 years later of playing on and off, I finally decided to actually try and improve for once in my career and with my favourite mid laner. Slowly trying to drill the drills (idk if i view that as a pun or nah xD) into my head and muscle memory. This is gonna be one hell of a ride.

My akali game improved like 1000%, no joke, thank you so much

Define the teamfight build for my by: What scenario counts more toward the games where you want to build it over lich based assassin itemisation? Its based on how the teamcomps or the early skirmishes look like before or around/bit after 1st recall ?

@CoachMysterias

4 ай бұрын

Mainly games in which the enemies have tanky members that we cant assassinate in the sidelane OR games in which your teammates want to be playing around grouped fights and are too vulnerable to you being on the sidelane vs hard engage. enemy team ahs 2 or more tanky - ish members are usually enough for me to instantly go that build

any chance of a quick update to the items runes section since changes and nerfs 14.12?

@CoachMysterias

Ай бұрын

The Items and runes section hasnt changed at all really! both are still incredibly viable

I still miss the old Akali :(

I'm locked in

I'll be updating this comment as i watch the video to point out stuff 1: In the Electrocute Setup the best "Hunter" rune is Relentless Hunter. Ult Hunter on Akali isn't too good since her ult has already pretty high uptime Meanwhile Relentless hunter helps a lot with roaming around, especially if you don't run TP, which you often wont, in favour of ignite, if you go for the turbo lane-stomping setup that is Electrocute page. 2. As you said, Akali doesn't generally take Tabis, as Shroud can take care of AAs already. Notable exception to this, is Toplane when Laning into Riven. As Tabis absolutely cuck her They're good because Riven can damage Akali fairly easily in Shroud, since 80% of her kit is AOE damage. Riven also suffers heavily from even a bit of Armor, since she's pure Physical Damage and has no innate Pen. The Tabi passive also heavily reduces her passive Damage. All of these things combined, make it much harder for Riven to quickly burst you down to 30% HP and finish you off with her R2. 3. All-In Combo Remember, Akali's E and R, will usually both Spawn and Proc the passive by themselves, as the dash will push Akali out of the Ring. For example, in you All-In on Rumble, you Q and then walk back to pick up Passive and then R1. That's not necessary. If you Q>R1, the R1 will bring Akali out of the Ring or at the least at the very edge, and proc the passive anyways, making for a much faster and smoother combo, as walking backwards both slows the combo down and gives time to the enemy to react if the have the tools to.

@sertyu222

@@CoachMysterias I also agree I always preferred relentless, but ime it caters more to an early roamer playstyle to benefit from the bonus as early as possible to get those stacks. Always fun zooming around on her :) Ult hunter could be better in the solo lane maybe. Also think it could be worth mentioning taste of blood into melee matchups since it's pretty free procs. Even ingenious hunter is viable if you anticipate an early zhonyas but more of a 4fun rune def weaker than the other two mentioned.

Why does building Hextech alternator first reach spikes sooner? Aren't you building sorcs after anyway? Or did you mean it helps because the AP helps farming?

As a bronze player I agree to disagree...even if she is mechanicly hard you can get good at her if you almost one trick her ...and I find it really easy to stomp cause my enemies are bronze too...I watch lots of content and I expect them to zone, auto, harass me, space, tether, etc...and they never do, so easy to capitalize on mistakes, used to take fleet, but is so unnecessary, most of the times get great results even with electrocute because of that.

When your enemies say akali is brainless - only if you can make her look brainless.

Really good guide, after watching it instatly had few solid games. The only thing I don't agree with is placing Crime City Akali into "Don't" category, it's sooo good. The Q animation is insane, it has this cool sound efects when the daggers hit the groud. Like, it sounds very realistic. DRX Akali is not that great imo, the R2 animation appears slower than on other skins. It's probably just visual, but still, in other skins her R2 looks almost like a blink, in DRX u can almost predict it. My favourite are probably Infernal / Crime city (recommend green chroma) and Star Guardian (blue chroma). Star Guardian is so nice because of how she walks / runs and also the passive proc + q - passive proc + q - etc looks really smooth ( i guess because of the walking animation ). I remember even Bwipo mentioned Crime City is one of the best Akali skins. About Coven, it's nice with the white (Destined) chroma ( i don't remember how I got it, but I don't think you can buy it, perhaps with some bundle ). Great guide anyway, I went from having very flippy games to more stable, playing around my ult and reducing the number of random fights I take when I don't have a spike. It's still a lot of work to improve, but I enjoy playing akali so it's fine. Don''t think I'll exit emerald this season, but perhaps next if I keep at it. GGs!
