This guy is some real pain in the a** . Once he reach level 6 . Try shutting him down ASAP or you will be useless with him from mid-game to go . Make as much lane pressure as possible . Run ignite so you can shutting him down faster
Dr. Mundo
This guy is basically the brother of Cho'gath . You can burst him with the E , you're Q is nearly useless on him since you go lethality . Only chance of beating him is to use Ignite and abuse your passive . Stop him from roaming or get fed otherwise you're done . Try ending the game ASAP
Zoe
Skill matchup , as long as you're able to dodge the E you win
Aatrox
He can only beat you once he get fed , unlike Cho'gath and Mundo which can easily kill you in in the whole game if you don't play EXTREME carefully . But it's still a hard match up tho
Heimerdinger
If there were a level higher than Extreme , i would pick it for this guy . You can't farm , you can't kill , you can't do anything . If he hide after his Q or the minion then your E are useless , Can't even farm under tower . The only thing you can do is to wait for the jungler or roam to get assist and kills
Illaoi
This matchup is just... Weird . She is kinda a problem for sure , but you're an assasin with high mobility which mean you can avoid her tentacles if you're good . Just a skill matchup
Aurelion Sol
If you can kill him you're iron 5
Azir
Another skill matchup . He has isane poke but you can avoid it since Akali has high mobility , the only thing you need is skill . A kill after 6 is nearly 100% if you didn't get destroy in the first 10mins . Skill matchup
Annie
Avoid her passive and that's all . Her teddy bear won't help if she don't have the passive
Fiora
Her W can cancelled your E , which your main source of damage with lethality build . And when she get fed she is technically the second Aatrox . Don't get destroy in early-mid game and you're pretty much fine . Still hard matchup tho
Fizz
He is the second Fiora which can avoid your E
Ekko
Skill matchup . Destroy him before lv6 and you're good to go . If you can't do that the going for Poke With Q + passive to lower his HP . Then pretend like you're going to all-in making him using his ULT . Killing him after this is kinda easy if you're skilled
Gwen
Just like Fiora and Fizz , but deal much more damage plus True dmg and insane healing . After her Riftmaker power spike you're useless , there's is nothing you can do but go 0/10 . If you're jungler gank then the situation maybe better .Still a pain in the *** just like Cho'gath and Mundo tho , but not as much as Heimerdinger
Darius
Many people misunderstood that this is a doom matchup , no it's not . You have high mobility , decent damage . Darius can only win you in an extend trade due to his passive . But if you are good then you can even shut him down before he reach 5 stack of his passive . Skill matchup
Karthus
Haha gg15 go BRRRRRRRRR
Rammus
You can really kill him actually , even with lethality build
Gnar
Skill matchup , avoid making extend trade in early game and you win
Tryndamere
He's just a pure nightmare for low elo player . He can survive you're burst , He is the god of extend trade . He can heal with the Q or get additional crit with his fury , and most important thing tha HE DON'T USE MANA . Don't expected me to tell you the way to deal with him in 1v1 , you can only abuse your jungler
Kayle
This matchup is actually pretty easy tho , you can sure destroy her before the lv6 powerspike . Avoid snowballing and you win
Poppy
Maybe the best anti-carries , just ban her , that's all
Quinn
Ask your team to ban him , otherwise you're done
Yuumi
Yes , do it
Tahm Kench
He can save you , he can tank for you , he can deal decent damage , the only thing that he don't buff you
Ivern
I just don't know why , he is just so good for some reason
Karma
She is ok , but not really that good since you already have good mobility , she can poke for you too . It is ok anyway
Blitzcrank
Ah yes
Kalista
Just like Tahm Kench . She save you , give additional walking ward , do damage but don't buff for you
Synergies
IdealStrongOkLowNone
Yuumi
Yes , do it
Tahm Kench

Hi , my name is Kune ML and i'm currently a Bronze 1 player in Garena server ( which basically hard as Korea server maybe ) . For anyone who wonder , Lethality Akali made her E a death sentence and empowered her E . Which is actually pretty good in low elo for anyone who want to clime , the only problem that she is going to be weak late game , so don't snowballing
Chapter 2 : Why should you play leathality Akali
After the death of Hextech Gunblade , Akali lost her power pretty badly since that use to be the core item of her . Now she can only go for the AP build if she want to be viable . But worry not , that's why we have Lethality Akali
https://i.redd.it/u44bagoyhy971.jpg
Reason 1 : It gave you good burst and still can deal decent DPS due to the passive
Reason 2 : You're an assasin , right ?
Reason 3 : The normal AP Akali has many counter pick , like Darius , Yasuo , Ornn , etc.. but most of those counter have been solved by going lethality Akali
Reason 4 : Many people underestimate the power of this build , that's why they're gonna play easy on you , which lead to the true hell of them
Reason 5 : She's gonna get buff in the next patch https://www.reddit.com/r/akalimains/comments/po1rx2/at_last/
Chapter 3 : PROS and CONS playing lethality Akali
PROS:
+Get even MORE damage
+Have both stable DPS and good burst ( Which most assasins don't)
+Easily destroy the enemy once you get your boots and first item
+Have more potential to stay in team combat longer
CONS:
+You might get a report if you don't play well
+The team thinks that you're probaly trolling , which will give you mental pain
+The enemy will laugh at your a** if you don't play good enough
+Literally no damage if you got a counter play or play badly , which you will be useless
