Eh man, it might be the build helping, but by now it's all you and your skill carrying you! Nice job!

This build had helped me gain more confidence in my skills as Akali. Thank you <3

Had to make an account to comment, I downvoted, horrible guide. Learn to get out of bronze first before you write anything misleading, get out of here. I would suggest you go into iron and start over again. Misleading, I'd go to other guides.

So, do you have any constructive criticism of the guide, or are you just here to flame the author for no reason?

He is bronze, he is not qualified to make a guide, he is horrible. Why do you suddenly have to jump in?

This comment and attitude is not what is considered as "constructive feedback".
It's okay to disagree with people's opinions but the quality of a guide doesn't have to do anything with the person's tier.
Hamstertamer "jumped in" because your behavior and attitude seem quite negative and unfair. However maybe you could let the author know what to improve on their guide since we already know that you're thinking they should improve their rank as well.

You did not offer any constructive feedback to help the author improve his/her work. You literally admitted you opened an account to belittle the author. Mobafire doesn't care what your rank is, anyone can make a guide. If you chose to not take the guide's information that is fine but don't belittle someone for their rank. You have the right to your opinion, doesn't mean you have to say something nasty. Treat people how you want to be treated.

Look below, I did, what do you mean? There is no point in writing a guide if you're a lower rank when there is a more professional guide out there...

Hey man, I appreciate your adamancy, but if you do not want to take this guide's advice, please stop arguing with others. It is up to you whether or not you want to take this guide's knowledge and implement it into your game.

Btw just to end this off Hoshie, there is multiple guide authors that has professional guides or "good looking" guides yet only being Platinum or low Diamond at best, Ranks doesn't have anything to do with making a guide. If you're here to flame authors for their rank and not for their content, you're in the wrong place.

Thanks for the feedback man, appreciate the honesty. I'm just trying to make a guide to help new players get familiar with Akali. I do not care about my rank currently, right now is that the site helped me when I was a noob, so why not help back by creating my own guide. That's my motivation. I will try to improve my guide, however, can you tell me what you find misleading?

Props for the calm response, +Rep.

As for you, you really take void staff over lich bane? That's a huge error man, lich bane really works well with Akali's passive. You have my downvote for that.

Void Staff is a good option because it provides magic penetration, so I always tend to build it when enemies are building magic resistance. I only take Lich Bane when the enemy team is not building magic resistance, which is rare, I do agree with you, Lich Bane synergizes very well with Akali's passive. Void Staff only works so well with Sorcerer's Shoes. Void Staff is the better option overall when in the Top or Mid lane because Akali simply isn't your normal assassin. Akali doesn't have that specific combo to kill an enemy champion, unlike Zed or Talon. She is a very creative champion and it takes a little longer to assassinate a target in comparison to the abundance of other assassins. So the magic penetration really helps you kill targets quicker and deal more damage. However, Lich Bane does work as well.

Nice guide but I would max Q first then 2 points in W and then E max for the damage .. but nice guide! :)

(9) |

Hey man, I love the support. q, is indeed supposed to be maxed first, it is the primary source of wave clear and harass during the course of the game. However, the Q provides much sustain and it makes it safer to poke or escape. E does physical damage and only scales with AD, we build an AD, AP hybrid with Akali, whilst focusing AP items for the maximum damage on her R. The only time I would max E second is when running the Electrocute with Precision rune page, this is of course when you're trying to achieve maximum damage. W allows us to seamlessly kill the back line in a team fight, as you cannot be targeted by auto attacks while in the shroud. The extra energy it provides at max rank isn't comparable to the damage from E in my opinion. Thank you for the feedback :)

Awesome guide for someone's first time! You have a ton of information and I'm more confident about playing with Akali now.But if I were to request a change, I would add some item descriptions to explain why some items are desirable to her and when you should buy them. Also another change I would add is for you to have a guide on Akali's early, mid, late game, I think having a better understanding on the different "phase" of the game will be very helpful to newer players such as me.

Wow, the first comment just seems to be so positive! Thanks man. It really helps, I will definitely add those sections when I have the time. I am currently trying to grab some videos from my own game-play to add it into the Early-Late game sections. Items are a must add so I'll have to add them anyway, thank you Nooblord14, I'll be sure to check out your guides!

I haven't seen much criticism, please if you see anything wrong with this guide, provide some feedback. Also, thank you for the support, this is my first guide. Lastly, this guide is a W.I.P.
