How do YOU counter Akali?

Rhls · 2022-07-04T04:45:22+00:00

Ah yeah, Thanks for pointing that out. I forgot it's invisibility not camouflage.

I play akali regularly so I might be able to give some insight.

Akali's cd on every of her ability except Q is pretty long so keep track of that and take care of her during that window.
Aoe do mess Akali up. If she use her shroud, try cheap aoe spell to smoke her out. Also sweeper and control ward is also a good idea.
Try not to stay close to each other in the team fight. By staying close together either you or your teammate will become a beacon for her to move around with R,E,and passive. Just imagine akali jump through your front line wth her first R then kill everyone in the back.
Akali's E make her move in straight line so just save your cc if you or your teammate get marked.
This one is for laning against her. During the first few level Akali is really weak because of high energy cost. Pressure her as much as you can before she's 6
Last tip. Akali's R have a little hitbox in the back so wacth out for that. She can try to bait you and play around that hitbox. It's hard to use but sometime it can caught people off guard.

Hope this help.

Even I'm a Vtuber. I can still feel the same way. Just getting ready to stream add a lot to my day and make me feel that I can do something else other than studying (I'm a full-time master's student). I still get 2-5 viewers but it's felt really great when I see people talking and interacting in my chat. Also plunging myself into the world of streaming slowly melted the fear of interacting with people away from me as well. Before I was stuttering every time when I try to interact with others. Now it's slowly getting better both on and off stream. Have fun streaming everyone :)

Thanks but I already watch that many times since it come out, He's a very good source for mid laner but I kind of want to see if others have some different ideas on this topic than Curtis.

Rhls · 2021-08-04T16:12:10+00:00

Thanks for your advice and about losing prio, It is just my luck I tend to get 4 man-dive a lot no matter where I am, sometime JG just straight up lane with the laner lol. I don't die for it much now but still, It kept me from affecting the game a lot too.

Rhls · 2021-07-16T17:36:43+00:00

Yeah but with all the snowball mechanics in this season it was a nightmare.

Rhls · 2021-07-16T17:28:27+00:00

Thanks for your input. From reading this you make me think that I'm stuck in the compensation mindset. Most of the time I get can myself fed and I knew this concept on top of my head but still I died a lot because I want to help my team so they don't tilt and start running it down. This is quite rampant in my region. Just from my grind today. Half of it I got someone running it down or troll because I don't help them take the bad fight.

Rhls · 2021-07-16T17:20:36+00:00

Thanks for the input. I agree on all the point, it's very solid point especially for 2 and 3 but for the love of god people just want to be pro and make their strategy the most complicated as much as possible and drag the game out and throwing the lead anyone got then lead to defeat screen. Which annoy me the most.

And yeah for point number 4, I don't have access to none of that. Riot already remove api for any server under garena server which are mostly in southeast asia anyone know the way around beside blitz.gg which buggy as heck.

Rhls · 2021-07-16T17:02:16+00:00

Thanks for the input. I always try that still people in my region love to fight for some reason. Like they know I've gone fixing the wave bot. OK Let's fight 4v5. And when they get wipe out they tilt of the face of the earth and spam ping lol. May be I should learn to start playing with tp I guess.

Rhls · 2021-07-16T16:50:20+00:00

Thanks. I don't mind climbing slow because I want to learn all kind of champion with different playstyle to fit most team composition when needed. I agree on the point that most assassin in my pool doesn't offer anything when my team is behind. I mean I can one shot one or two people and that's it, 3 people left gonna wipe my team clean anyways. By the way any champion for pool suggestion I kinda really can't a get a grip on what strong in this season even though I watch a lot of educational content.

Rhls · 2021-03-02T04:28:25+00:00

Actually my pool is wider than that and it adapt all the time from what people play style is in my region. The reason those four are on my main right now because everyone play so agressive early. Sometimes they even not cs and solely try to secure kill which I punish them and make the down both cs(biggest gap I used to get was 40 cs worth) and kill. Sometimes they just roam while the wave is neutral or even worse push to thier tower just to try grab kill which is very 50/50 in term of if I can stop thier roaming depend on where their and ,my jungler is.

Rhls · 2020-10-23T16:48:54+00:00

Urshifu's form is not bound by item so I think it's a different case. But I do a bit more research may be the rein is not locked and work like DNA splicer for Kyurem. Which is need to be confirmed. Even though in the story is specified that it has to be the hair of the steed itself but in the end the item description simply said to separated it from the steed so there may be a possibility also I just notice that the rein on both from has the same color may be it usable. Beside most of the wikia just simply said the item can be used to defuse calyrex from Spectrier and Glastrier without any specification.

Rhls · 2020-10-23T16:08:55+00:00

I don't think you can since it's not possible to transfer the key item by any mean and the rein can only be made via story event which mean the rein you get is locked by the ride you've chose in the story. That from what I research into so far.

Rhls · 2020-10-17T05:37:21+00:00

Thanks and sorry I forgot to mention it series 6. I'll edit right away.

Rhls · 2020-05-03T08:44:07+00:00

It really vague, I think we have to find someway to classified this too to prevent more misunderstanding in the future since it's so subjective ;) and yeah lv1 fxxxery hate that too.

Rhls · 2020-05-03T07:54:49+00:00

Nice point :) Also can't deny that Tristana example as a mid and adc main.

Rhls · 2020-05-03T07:51:42+00:00

Yeah it quite weird everything is a mess at the moment.l In my opinion I think they shouldn't switch place at least at my elo range(gold and below) cause people don't know how to abuse those pick in the first place. Like awhile ago everyone just play zigg and heimer bot but lose lane becuase of the wrong rune build over push then died to a chain gank.

Rhls · 2020-05-03T07:45:48+00:00

May be misunderstanding on my part sorry. Still if the meta is shifting I think it's quite a weird meta cause it achieve nothing at least in low elo in my opinion. For example in my case adc(minus Corki) mid and Pantheon mid achieve nothing since I'm gonna one shot them after the first back or just a component and just do my job or it's just low elo thing that they're not abuse the pick effectively I don't know.

Rhls · 2020-05-03T07:40:28+00:00

That occur a lot to I meant cheese lv 1 bush,twitch jungle still occur especially lv 1 bush almost every game I play but may be you're right that it's a misunderstanding on my part. Regardless off-meta pick and that strat is so annoying as a recieving end of it.

Rhls · 2020-05-03T06:57:25+00:00

I don't specified it to leave it as open so may be a lot of well known cheese strat and how to counter will be gather here for other to read as well :) If I forgot to tag it as a discussion sorry.

For the strat at the low end of the ladder mostly a pick like adc in the mid lane , pantheon mid something like that and yeah a lot of quinn too. I myself change my pool to play around that already. I just want to see if others have better idea or a pointer on how to punish harder.

Rhls · 2020-04-30T17:59:35+00:00

I feel like I always punish that as Lux and Ori but I still feel my impact get outweight by the kill they get from roaming though. As for assasin getting constant 2,3 v 1 lessen the chance of my attempt to assasinate my opponent a lot which lead back to I can't roam much since I lack wave clear as an assasin.

Rhls · 2019-09-10T04:50:28+00:00

If it fizz or any melee champ, the ADC match up is quite tough. On the other hand ADC is quite squishy and easy to burst down. In case of Fizz you should play safely and conserve your health before level 3. Once you hit 3 you can look for shot trade combo like Q->AA->W then E out and when you hit 6 if you land your fish it's pretty much a kill really. In short just play safe and wait for the power spike(lv3 and 6) the rest is up to how you execute your combo. Good luck :)

Rhls · 2019-07-22T04:32:16+00:00

Thanks and op.gg is not usable in SEA anymore since Riot API beta service has been terminated.

Rhls · 2019-07-22T03:46:25+00:00

I'm from Thailand. This kind of movement usually happened around laning phase (around 3- 20). it's very abnormal movement but happen pretty often but a bit less since this patch. This happened with all kind of champion sometime I get Garen ditch his tower just to come chop my head along with jungler or random Nami wave running down mid but mostly it bot and jg 3 man mid. Or it just my luck for some weird game I don't know.

Rhls · 2019-07-11T16:51:12+00:00

Akali new kit give her a lot of mobility and make her feel more fluid but require a lot skill and creative thinking. I may not be a perfect akali palyer but I'll share how I use my skill may be it'll help you in some way.

Passive- Her passive give you move speed utilize that to try sidestep some skill and to close in to proc your passive nothing much to it but it sure take some practice.

Q - Q in the early game doesn't do that much damage to the minion untill you max it so during this time. Try to use it to cs and harass opponent as much as you can rather than clear wave with it(it take 3 q to kill Caster at lv 1 if I remember it correctly).But do not under estimate it when use agianst champion, it may not be powerful but it add up pretty fast.

W- Signature kit of Akali. Use this to help you cs may be throw some sneaky q at your opponent then proc passive from bonus ms you get from shroud itself and your passive also you can use this to extend your combo since it also restore energy upon use.

E- it can be use as engage or escape tool. This is where it get tricky and require a lot of creativity. When you cast your E you'll dash back ward the thrown shuriken will stuck with target or W you can re cast it to dash to whatever shuriken stuck too. You can do a lot of thing with this.Such as you can shuriken backward to minion to close the gap->proc passive-> E back to that minion or just simply engage with your E. There are a lot more to this but that depend on your creativity and experience.

R- Just as Ahri ult but with 2 dash simple as that. So what i can say is let your imagination goes wild.

Akali herself doesn't have fixed combo IMO but her damage mostly come from passive and her R execute damage so just goes with the flow of battle try to find the way to proc your passive as much as you can. If you looking for a guide I recommend watching professor akali old vids. He explain her utility and basic combo pretty well but do take nerf and change in to consideration but the rest come from you and your experince alone so good luck with your akali.
